Andrew Spivey's perspective on the Gators' new coaching staff

[NavetG8r]

Thought it was an interesting read. Maybe someone else will too.

Got to love the energy. Hopefully it's genuine and these guys can produce.

LMAO at silly Skyflake in the comments. I'm glad is not here anymore!

"First off, every member of the Gators football staff was out at the Lacrosse field and track field watching prospects participate in camp, and while that wasn’t different for them to be out there, it was different to see them so engaged and concentrating on what was going on out there."

Interesting comment. That last sentence is particularly telling. Why was it different to see a coaching staff engaged? Isn't that their job? The more I read, the more I find out about how bad the previous regime is.

 

[Gator Fever]

Sounds good. McElwain seems like a personable guy. I think he met with fans prior to the bowl game also.

 

[GatorJB]

Very good sign that these coaches work well together.

 

[oxrageous]

That guy isn't a very good writer. Ugh.

 

[BostonGator84]

That guy isn't a very good writer. Ugh.

Agreed. That was painful to read. But had some interesting insight about the new regime, even if it wasn't presented in the clearest fashion.

 

[GatorJ]

That guy isn't a very good writer. Ugh.

Agreed. To mix up the words "curiosity" and "courtesy" is pretty terrible grammar. And that was the least of the issues. But I like Spivey and it's nice to see his take.

Dooley doesn't like the staff, so we have that going for us.

Dooley doesn't like the staff, so we have that going for us.

Dooley's whining about how he can't get straight answers out of Coach Mac cracks me up.

So we can no longer look forward to those insightful, insider articles he has never written?

This is the guy that didn't know anything about Donovan leaving until two days after my sources (as weak as they are) told me he was a goner. This is the guy that offered no insight into the football coaching search until long after every other source reported it.
Dooley not liking McElwain does not bother me in the least.

 

[Swamp Queen]

People still actually read Dooley's stuff?

 

[gatormandan]

Good stuff....

Yea,he was tail gaiting with the fans

Exactly. Dooley held on to Chimp's tail until the bitter end. It was just Dooley and Coach9 at the end.

The fact that Dooley doesn't like Mac is a great thing in my mind.

I suspect only the OLD timers are the only ones who read. I'm not sure if he was ever any good, but if he were, he certainly had lost whatever he'd had by the 1990s. He survives by inertia and by being the SID's last port in a storm.

I didn't know that I was no longer on here. I also see my comments have been removed from Gator
Country. It's truly sad that there are so many of you who rejoice in living in ignorance and imitate the three monkeys when reality rears it's head. The article by Spivey was pure garbage. When has a new coach not been lauded and praised? The same exact things were said when Muschamp was hired, yet most of you are still naïve enough to still drink the Koolaid. You continue to live in the lands of fantasy where Tim Tebow is an NFL quarterback and Jameis Winston is a rapist, when neither proposition is even remotely close to reality. I guess the internet is only for those that "seeing things with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see." Intelligence and reality are something to be avoided at all costs.

Seems like a positive to me. Being too close to the old school media is never a good idea, at least in my opinion.

 

[LagoonGator68]

He is even less trustworthy, unfortunately.

 

[CaribGator]

Sounds like good energy, i think the players will be pumped not to be smelling dawg breath all over the place and will be fired up to play for the new staff. BE competitive, win the games we should, pull off an upset or two and we'll start to get higher rated players

 

[TN G8tr]

I like what we're hearing. Keep it up Mac!

And yes........Dooley still sucks.
