And you CAN criticize and still support the team, a concept you have never understood.
Considering I have played on 10x more "teams" than you that is debatable.
. UF is the flagship university in Florida and needs to have a bar that's set higher than that.
I agree about the bar. Our feeling of entitlement. But for someone so versed in "team" concepts you seem to forget that a fairly new coach is coaching players he didnt recruit for the most part. And this guy has done a fcknnn outstanding job all things considered.
So your time table is for this team fails to consider all kinds of intangibles. Donkey can really explain it better about our lousy players. Personally, I think we have pretty good players but injuries and depth have hammered us. And despite ALL that our only losses (by narrow margins) are to two of the best teams in the country. HOnestly, I think you just like to stir
for the clicks and posts.........which I have no problem with. You certainly do not understand the rarity of coaches like SOS and Urban. I think Dan is still a work in progress (yeah I know we deserve better) but Dan was here when we won hugely. He was able to work under a coach that understands the BIG picture. It is more than players and XXXX and OOOO. It is the entire culture, chemistry, organization along with that. The ones before that didnt understand it.
I asked Durty who we missed and all he had was PJ Fleck. Like I said , the SOS's and Urbans dont come along often...........One more thing. In this day and age of college ball the rules are different. There are plenty of teams competing for the same kids each year. THEY want to win as much as we do. We play in the SEC where there are at least 8 teams that want it as much or more than we do. Only Bama has had the success (more of course) than we had the last two decades. I want what you want just as bad. But Im realistic enough to know it is much much harder to get there than people realize. SOS , with all his ability and skills only got that title once, My feelings is that he had a fcknnn murderers row each year to get there. Our schedule in the 90s was crazy hard. Even now we have to go through top five teams to get near the holy grail.
