Love or hate Bianchi as a beat writer, this quote is repeatable

[NavetG8r]

Taken from an article I read a few minutes ago. I almost didn't click when I saw who wrote it, but after finding this gem I'm glad I did.


"The offense was so bad in this game, the ultra-conservative Muschamp on two consecutive series at the end of the first half - from UT's 35 and 38 - chose to take a delay of game and set up for a punt on fourth down. Good grief, if Muschamp were a professional golfer, he'd pull out a 7-iron on every teebox just to keep the ball in play."

Muschamp explained this in his press conference. Had something to do with the clock being set to 25 vs. 40

 

[Zambo]

Basically what I heard Muschamp say in that presser was, "I have no idea what happened or why because I'm in over my head."

 

[ThreatMatrix]

Champ hasn't shown good "in-game awareness". Like Zook before him, for whatever reason DC's just seem to missing that something. I'm not defending UM but remember how he analyzed every single game situation and rule change so that they new exactly what to do in every situation.
In contrast Spurrier just worked from pure football IQ.

Champ has neither the analysis nor the IQ.

I think Muschamp must have lost a game somewhere in his past that came down to a turn-over. He's is deathly afraid of turn-overs, so he doesn't like his offenses to do anything that might cause one.

You also have to give Bianchi credit for "Freon Treon". Here's hoping Harris lives up to it.

Yes that was his excuse, I did not understand the reasoning and I believe it is BS. What really happened is he was so worried about a pick 6 that the possibility of a score was not good enough to take the risk.

A pick-six on a Hail Mary?

Champ is very risk averse. You get the feeling he never wants the offense on the field because they might turn the ball over and make his defense work. LOL

Maybe I should say Champ is offense averse.

Incredible. He explains exactly why he did it and still gets questioned.

 

[Gator Fever]

Well he explained the whole week why he was starting Driskel against Tennessee also.

Mikey usually hits the nail on the head. It may pisss you off he tells the truth.

It's often helpful if the explanation makes sense.

Bianchi is a columnist not a beat writer

I would've settled for a record field goal attempt. Just something.

You're joking right? His time here is a failure. He makes mistake after mistake after mistake. Uptempo? Where'd that go? I haven't seen it. I question everything that loser says. He's a joke as a head coach so yeah...question anything he says. Totally deserved.

 

[Gator87]

It's often helpful if the explanation makes sense.

The Midline BS he used after the Georgia Southern loss also made no sense. I think he goes into press conferences with the attitude that I'm the smartest guy in the room and I'll just say a bunch of crap that makes no sense and they'll buy it because I'll use some obscure coaching terminology that no one understands.

Bianchi also tweeted this before we finally pulled Driskel:

Somewhere Brent Pease is on the phone to Charlie Weis saying, "Are you watching this garbage?"
