The boring matters. The boring makes fans apathetic. The boring makes marketing revenue apathetic. The boring makes recruits apathetic. The boring makes the score something you check in the morning like a stock price. To hear Dooley finally admit it is priceless.VulcanAlex;n106045 said:Gee for me it is not the boring style (since I don't care what style you use), but rather the results. The lack of aggression on offense. The lack of anticipation in the special teams. The various lacks that we see every game.
Agreed. Football is entertainment. HOW you win matters.threatmatrix;n106317 said:The boring matters. The boring makes fans apathetic. The boring makes marketing revenue apathetic.

I wasn't against the concept of playing ball control football, but until recently we didn't have the personnel to do it. This year we actually might, but if you are going to play that type of football, you have to play near error free ball. There is no margin for error. For whatever reason, Muschamp doesn't doesn't have the level of command and control of all aspects of the program to have the error free ball that is required to run grind it out ball control football. We had the game won, and then had two blocked kicks. When is the last time you have seen that on a Nick Saban coached program.
I'm officially done with Muschamp. I wanted him to succeed, and I wanted to see if things turned around with Treon, but this game shows me that you really can't be confident of a victory of any game we play, and that's not FL football. I started to feel this way after GA Southern last year, but figured it was better to let this play out. While this year sucked, its probably best we let it play out. I don't think it is good for UF football to fire coaches on a whim - it just makes it that more difficult to get the next good coaching prospect. We gave this thing 4 years, and I think it is now pretty obvious to everyone outside of FL football that he isn't the right guy.
I'm kind of pessimistic on our chances to land a really top coach right now, but at this point things can't get any worse.
Ha! We've never seen anything close to the Bama offense. They actually throw the ball. I would have no problem with their offense.L-boy;n106356 said:Seems to me Bama does just fine playing meat and potatos boring football. I think it is mostly about winning.

Really! I'm not so sure that infamous name dropper deserves kudos for taking 4 years to say what most were saying after his first season.Gatoravatara;n106058 said:I think he has been reading GC. We have been saying this, like forever.

Now that he sees the writing on the wall he throws Muschamp under the bus. He'll only have to deal with Mush being pissed at him for 2 weeks.

No, you are just too young to remember. This guy is a throw back to the great Woody Hayes of Ohio State who said, "only three things can happen when the ball is in the air and two of them are bad." AND "I will pound you and pound you until you quit."t-gator;n106365 said:Nick saban's teams score a lot of points. You never see his teams only throw the ball 6 times in a game. Heck they usually average close to 40 a game. Muschamp is more like Shaw st Stanford. And you see what they look like when they don't have the best defense in college football. Very mediocre this year
