Muschamp laid out his plan in his opening presser. He failed miserably in its execution. HCJM did not. You cannot have haters point out your failure to execute your plan if it is not laid it out. I thought that was very smart fan/media management. And I like smart coaches. It's a nice change.

Ok is this really him? I've seen the still shot but never played the video. Please tell me that's not actually him.

I think people vetted this and actually figured out that it really is him. And like I said, every single time I posted a Crucial video on GSMB it was taken down within about 5 minutes tops.

Big difference between this presser and the one four years ago in which Muschamp rattled off answers with machine-gun intensity. The things that stood out were he's a big picture guy, he lives in the moment and he doesn't allow pressure to overwhelm him. To the contrary, McElwain embraces it. "I want to be the guy applying the pressure," he said.

We've had five years of crappy quarterbacking. It feels esp good to have a head coach who knows how to tutor young quarterbacks.

Loved what I heard. Definitely a change of pace. He is a Gator and I think he made that evident. I loved this quote "Recruit daily or die." I think he knows how important it is and I think the days of losing out on most of the big recruits on the offensive side of the ball are over. He has a unique swagger about him. Can't wait for him to hit the ground running and see who he hires as staff. Hopefully he surrounds himself with a great staff.

P.S. My God the Abolverdi videos are glorious.

That's right Will Grier is waiting........

The QB position battle will be interesting to say the least. I wonder how the returning offensive line will play into that. I'm glad both Grier and Harris also have a good set of wheels. They will probably still have to use their legs quite a bit.

Also with the flipping of George Brown and decom. from Sheriron Jones I think its evident that Summers and Roper won't be back.

I think that is pretty much the case. If it is I would have preferred they wouldn't coach our players for the bowl game but under circumstances it had to be that way.

Wait... Crucial is actually Zach rapping and not just using a picture of his epic hair in his video?!
