The Missouri game was a terrible, Murphy's Law, whatever-could-go-wrong,-did-go-wrong kind of loss. I was wondering how many of the problems with the Gator football team have had are or were recurring problems and how many seem like "uniquely" occurring issues. For instance, the blown coverages we saw against Bama haven't been nearly as prevalent in any other game. I know there have been a few, but there haven't been many. On the other hand, Jeff's decision making is a recurring problem. (Last night when he ran out of bounds behind the line of scrimmage instead of throwing it away, I was deflated.)
That led me to think about WM's tenure at UF and wonder if he and the other coaches are more often frustrated that they can't seem to correct "known issues" or if they feel like they're playing Whack-A-Mole, where they see issues pop up, work to correct them, only to have new, unforeseen issues arise. If you were the head coach or if WM called you up tomorrow, what would you tell him are the problems that you see and what is their nature - recurring or not? (What is the opposite of recurring anyway?)
Examples:
Recurring
Jeff Driskel's passing decisions are consistently unacceptable
dropped passes (this season especially)
Intermittent
run blocking insufficient
blown coverages on long passes
Singular (more or less)
kick coverage
punt coverage
