Driskel on Muschamp's offensive strategy

"At times, you can only do what the coaching staff asked you do,” said Driskel, the Hagerty High product who has since transferred to Louisiana Tech. “At times, we were asked to play conservatively and control the time of possession. I don't think it was a lack of talent. At times, it was lack of executing plays and at times it was lack of playcalling. There were times when we just wanted to punt the ball and get [the opponent] inside their 10-yard line."


Driskel's play aside that is very telling and just confirms what most of us were thinking those years.

This is so sad. I'm generally a fan of Foley, but have no defense for his decision to keep WM after 2013. If kids are aware of this extremely flawed approach, I find it hard to believe it wasn't widely known. How can anyone honestly feel that such incompetency would ever produce results. It's absurd.

I don't think JD was ever going to be great, and I was ready to see him replaced long ago. But I do wish him the best at LaTech. I can only imagine the absolute hell of dealing with the previous staff. None of those kids deserved that.

Much more than at times for these two items. The play calling and execution were horrible for most of the last 4 years.

This +1000

I'm so glad that that dumpster fire is gone. I hate Muschamp.

Don't forget a fan base that blamed him for everything even when he wasn't on the field. Driskel was never an SEC quarterback, but he was blamed for things that were not even on him.

Thanks Bro!

Playcalling or execution? Any play will work if it is executed. But hell sometimes you have to call a play that the players want to execute. Sometimes.

WM ...(you can't spell waste management without it)

 

[GatorTAG]

Well if you read this article that came out today you will see that our receivers are saying they are actually running routes. Even ones that don't involve blocking.

That quote by Driskel is amazing. Sometimes they just wanted to punt and get the team inside the 10 yard line? WHAT! You never should "want" to punt. If you are big on time of posession you should want to keep the ball. I think WM is such a defensive guy that he wishes his team could play D all game long because he just dislikes coaching offense.

There was a time, half a century ago, when that was how football was played.

I think Muschamp's ineptitude as a head coach here would make a great 30 for 30 documentary.

Thanks Bro!

Spurrier would have benched him just for this picture.

This is news?

I believe one of the lines during ESPN breakdown of UF team was 8 receiver coaches in 8 years. That is pathetic.

You sure about that?
