Sad,sorry Paco…sadgator knows there are enough threads on this…but he felt the need to get his true position on record…
sadgator is seriously butt hurt…he ain’t gonna lie…this one hurts…bad…and sadgator wants to unfairly take out his frustration on those who he feels are foolishly reveling in this…
sadgator has been a loyal member of this board since 2002… he is as honest and true of a Gator fan as you will find….
sadgator isn’t a big money booster or person in the know…he is an average fan of average intelligence who thinks fondly about his time at Florida ‘93 every…single…day…
sadgator sang gator songs at his wedding and raised his kids going to games and loving the motherland….
but sadgator has finally had enough…we literally went through hell for approx. 7 years while two horrible coaches dismantled our identity and eveything we loved about Gator football…
Mullen gave us hope…he knew us…he embraced us…he walked our sidelines during two National Title runs…his staying for the BCSCG was a HUGE part of why we won a title in 2008…like it or not (many can’t acknowledge this)…
He returned with passion and a plan to return us to the program we knew…and for the better part of three years he did that…he spoke of “relentless effort” and a “gator standard” and when he spoke…sadgator believed…and he largely delivered…
Now…after one very shitty season…for whatever reason…he is gone…sadgator honestly believes that impatience was a large part of this…but it doesn’t matter…we are right back where we were 4 years ago…the vocal part of the fan base got what it wanted…
sadgator believes that this was a bad move.
Regardless, sadgator is done. sadgator surrenders. The “war” is over. sadgator has given up. The mob has won. But sadgator will say this…this average, nobody, “dedicated” fan won’t believe one word of this administration or next coaching staff about…”standards” or “efforts” or “anything” anymore.
So congratulations to everyone who wanted this…sadgator hopes you get what you want…
it is apparently all that matters…
but…based on where we’ve been for the past 11 years…sadgator wouldn’t bet on it…
1. He got us on probation for the first time in 30 years. Also got a show cause.
2. Lost to UK twice in three years.
3. 2-9 against Power 5 teams in last 11 games. 0-9 against teams not in Tennessee.
4. 2-6 in conference this year.
5. 41st in recruiting this year with players defecting daily.
6. Surly and uncooperative with the media.
7. Fought to keep Grantham.
8. Refuses to play AR.
Do I need to go on? I probably could.
