Thanks man, I’m good. I can misspell our own coaches and players names, contradict myself multiple times daily and have a wildly unrealistic perspective on things like a champion.
You trashed the admin in your first post on this board and lived to tell about it. That alone is a tremendous accomplishment.

I don't know. We may still need some more apprenticeship time.

It was also my way of making it clear I was very unhappy with the coaching. Extremely unhappy. Not a good time to have your worst coaching performance as a Gator.
Grantham or Mullen? Pretty sure Mullen just leaves the defense up to Grantham.

To be fair, you can't expect Cousin Eddie to say there is a talent gap as that would be a knock on his current players as well as a way of admitting recruiting is a bit light. I do not agree that Cousin Eddie's coaching prowess closes any talent gap, but that is a to each his own thing. I appreciate Cousin Eddie for not saying the talent differential is obvious but I truly believe that not even he is blind in one eye and can't see out of the other.

What this thread is about is post 73. However, so many turds never get to post 73. They read a title and react like a hand-wringing woman.

How bad does one have to be at creating posts that the meat & taters is 72 posts LATER?

If you want to make something CLEAR then create a post that says, "I am very unhappy with the coaching vs UGA".

This garbage got 2 likes?

Auggie, you’ve always been a bit slow. The vast majority got my point long before post 73. In fact, the only reason post 73 was necessary was because I was forced to spell it out to the small handful of our slower, hand-wringing woman members.

There are different standards in here for folks. Better get with the program.
If this Gator team was 0-8, you’d still be in here lecturing anyone that said anything critical about the program. You bring nothing to the table but finger wagging and platitudes when it comes to Gator football.

If we we 0-8 (strawman that it is) I will still be on the bandwagon cheering for the team. I will leave the name calling and invective to you and
the howling mob of "we suck, our players suck, our AD sucks. our bllgators suck, please GOD let us get another hired gun like Urban that can make us proud again" We are so much better now than with the post Urban coaches, Even a blind fan can see it. But by now we should be beating the lsu and uga teams.................smh. We are closing the gap at a speed most couldnt imagine but that STILL is bad..........Go Gators.
(for the innocent bystanders, this means I love losing and mediocrity) One day I will explain about my will to win.........

Such a ramble.

Yes, if UF was 0-8 I would be here saying the coaches suck. So would everyone else but you. And you CAN criticize and still support the team, a concept you have never understood.

I agree we are better now than we were under Chimp and Butters, but UF is still not meeting its goals. In my opinion, we aren't going to meet those goals anytime soon due to recruiting concerns. 9 and 10 win seasons with no championships are good enough for you, I think that's well established. However, you need to accept that they aren't good enough for a lot of other people. UF is the flagship university in Florida and needs to have a bar that's set higher than that.

I actually sort of agree with Corch on this. We are better and further ahead than I thought we’d be when CDM was hired and he is a vast improvement over Chimp and Butters in a myriad of ways. I’m not saying I am content by any means and if recruiting does not get better the Mullen era will be over sooner rather than later. And if our AD has any brains he is regularly updating a list of potential replacements (if for no other reason than to not emulate Tinerc or the Nulls). But.....I always figured this was not going to be a quick fix. This off season will tell us a great deal.

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 :kiffin: 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.

you like him better. so do I. That's really the bottom line. The rest aren't facts. the rest is I"wish this team would become a lead someday."

he is recruiting no better than butters, or only marginally better by the slightest fraction. Butters at least added wide receiver and running back talent. dorky Dan is adding nothing.

at LSU or Tennessee he'd still be the same clown we were laughing at two years ago, but you can't take off your orange and blue goggles.

he's proven repeatedly he can't win without a talent advantage, and then he can't recruit well enough to have a talent advantage. how fccking hard is that to understand?

shark and chimp have 10-win seasons too.

the rest is just your imagination.
