Gators practice

Mac was even parroting that nonsense before the Michigan game about our O line was going to be really good etc and they got killed by Michigan. The 2 early picks gave me a little false hope we might have a chance for a while then the damn defensive ends kept failing to set the edge leading to big runs by Michigan.
 
For me, it was them losing all those seniors, us going into year three of the system, plenty of experience, and a while off season to prepare and gameplan, and that was the product we put on the field.

I truly couldn't understand how in 3 years, we couldn't progress at all, and even regressed.

Under Muschamp, I couldn't understand how (and Michu will vouch for me because we had some phone calls about it) it could be possible that Driskell couldn't possibly progress going into his Junior year. The defense was talented, and we had some talent on offense.


But there we were, season starts and Driskel managed to REGRESS. Muschamp at least had other things working, though his offensive recruiting wasn't great.

Mac, who really nailed it on offensive recruiting (by-and-large) regressed the whole team EVERY season.

Hats unbelievable.

All those are reasonable assumptions for a decent coach my man, but you just had to look at who the coach was and it was easy to see what was coming. What’s crazy is now looking back Muschamp was a lot closer to getting it right than even me and other people realize. He had the QB and some decent skill players and the defense was stacked. Just could never get the right OC. But if the rumors are true that’s on Foley too because didn’t he apparently kinda force Weis on Muschamp thinking his experience as a HC would benefit? He left after one year and we were scrambling on offense ever since.

From 247 Sports: "Almost every position on the Florida roster was hit by injury or suspension and most severely hampered to the point that a 4-7 record was almost inevitable in the 2017 season. This is a point of recognition that things should get much better for the Gators in 2018, just by the addition of a couple of dozen more bodies (Dan's recruits) to the roster to compete."
 
It’s a funny thing that happens on a message board when you get really down on the team, player and/or coach, usually by arguing against posters on the other side, and you create a conflict between the team’s success and the correctness of your opinions. I’ve done it a couple times, and I try to guard against it now, because you find some part of yourself actually rooting against the Gators, just so you can be right.

And I think Fever is correct that our recruiting is lagging, even with the recent additions. But given our recent history, and given how much time is left to signing day, I’m not ready to pile it all on Mullen.
All we (most anyway) are asking of Fever is to wait on complaining about recruiting. At least late September/ early October. Not the end of July. It's nothing any of us have control over and stating the same words 500 times isn't going to change anything. Mullen is going to log onto The Blue Board and suddenly think "Hmm I better take Fever's advice"
 
But is 3 times enough?
Will it ever sink in?
Do any of us still care about what a high fever can cause?
You make the call.... ;) ----- :D

Muschamp at the age of 39-40 getting a first time gig at a place like Florida probably wasn't great, especially with the changing landscape of football (offensive mind versus defensive mind) and taking over a roster that was very talented but very flawed, and didn't suit what he wanted to do.


I remember the rumors about him having Weis forced upon him, and likely we won't know until someone retires a book, but he did have it really close to working. He won 7 games in his final season, after the first game was lost due to weather, and two more games were incredibly close. And he was the one that brought in Grier.

I always thought that Muschamp would do better once he moved on somewhere else and learned more about being a head coach.

And most importantly, he wanted to win at Florida.


I don't feel any of those things for Mac. I don't think he gave a shit.

Champ was like Zook...both tried. Both loved the school. Both wanted to win. Mac...he was one weird creature.

I mean Mc made BBQ sauce, had a cool garage apartment, a cover on his swimming pool in the summer...and a fake dog named Clarabelle. what.the.fudge!

Co-sign all of that. And Lamar Jackson said he would have gone to UF if Muschamp wasn’t fired. Imagine him or Grier in a spread offense with the defenses we had. Dumbass Foley.

If the media brings it up enough mentioning it quite a bit he might make changes to help get a good 2020 class and not a substandard class which he is going to get for the 2019 class. The media definitely follows social media and that is why some of them have asked him why recruiting has been so sh*tty so far. They usually use the angle that the fans are asking what is going on there not to piss him off however.

The year we fired Muschamp was about the worst year we could have, not only Lamar Jackson but a shit ton of other Florida talent wanted to play for him. He needed to be more open minded about offense though. I know defensive coaches don’t want points up fast and often typically but I think Lamar had enough natural talent to score enough points to make Muschamps D lethal. Again, Foley mistimed that as bad as he could have.

Muschamp was at least good at what he was good at. Mac wasn’t good at anything. No comparison between those two. Muschamp wasn’t a great fit for a university whose best years were under offensive schemes that were outside the box like SOS and Urban. Foley tried to make us an old-school, early Saban type of program. Like I said with Champ, his style would work as ling as he won, but would never get away with 10-9 games if he wasn’t winning 10 a year. More of a bad fit than bad coach.
 
RB Dameon Pierce 5-10 216 Fr -- "He squats 595 like it was nothing." -- Fred Johnson
“Dameon Pierce got the strongest squat I’ve seen,” RB Jordan Scarlett said. “That man puts like five, six plates on each side and just lifts it like it’s 225 up and down, up and down. I was like ‘Yeah, that’s a strong kid’.”

Among the RB's, Scarlett seems to own the bench, but Pierce owns the squat... :cool:
Davis, Lemons, and Toney can run inside too, but they will own the outside.
While Iverson has been temporarily loaned to the DB/FS roster...
 
Muschamp sucks and still hasn’t figured out offense. He fired Roper and believe he promoted the starting QBs father to be the OC. What a joke! Probably because any decent OC has to be leary of working for Muschamp.

I remember people saying Jackson wouldn't come here because Muschamp wanted him to switch to DB - I thought some people claimed that anyway.

Agreed, Mac was just happy being at Florida...guy was a total failure.
 
That's a 23-15 winning record, 2x SECe-C, and failure as a Gator HC.

To be honest, Mc did have some good points.
It's just that they were far overshadowed by his many inadequacies.
I don't hate either him or the Mus-Chump, but I'm glad that we now have Dan-the-Man running the team.
And it's long past time to move on to the Mullen era.

If you're tired of being in a hole, then you must stop digging... :cool:
 


Some video from the scrimmage - more of the same on offense it looks like.

Man I do miss the good old days, when every practice pass was perfect, and really everything was perfect in all ways.

I miss the good old days when we had a QB for most of the season's games that could actually stay composed a little and complete basic passes. Curious if that play might have been a screw up on the receiver also however.
 
^ LOL --- :cool:

===========

8-19-18 Scott Carter: " Franks, who played in 11 games and started eight as a redshirt freshman in 2017 (team went 4-7), appears to the most likely to start. He is the only one among the trio to take a snap in college and has a skill set that fits Mullen's spread offense."

WTF??? :eek:
How can anyone still be saying that total CRAP??? :confused:


Mullen's offense requires:
1. Protect the football
(9 TD's to 8 Ints, plus sacks and fumbles)

2. Be consistent and move the team down the field.
(3 & outs rule the day, with the rare Hail-Mary)

3. Calm Leader in the Huddle and during the plays.
(under a hard rush he goes brain-dead and can't even remember to throw the ball away)

If there is no real separation at this late date, then it's freakin' time to give another guy a shot. o_Oo_O

Trask and/or Jones, with 'poor experience Franks' as the emergency backup.

It wouldn't shock me if Franks was struggling against KY again this season and maybe gets yanked if he doesn't get his stuff together real soon.

And you KNOW we won't have that this year? You KNOW it?

Might as well go into a coma until February then, since you already KNOW everything.

Make that March, since you also KNOW how recruiting is going to turn out.
 
iG preseason dark horse tFr... o_O

Former HS QB-dt Jaylin Jackson, a P-WO tFr, continues to make some plays at WR. He caught a TD in Sunday’s scrimmage. “He’s an athlete,” Mullen said. “He’s done a good job. A good young player … a freshman trying to figure it out.” Dan said he's unlikely to get a shot this season, but in the future he might have an opportunity. (bet on it)

The reason in iG's opinion, is the incredible WR depth for 2018. My dark horse Fr will likely be a redshirt this season, but I still think he has a solid future as a Gator. And Dan can still give him a few plays in 4 games,,, I hope so. :cool:

=====


Especially for the 'fevered fools' and/or the 'rival trolls' we have this:

CBS has come up with anonymous college coaches poll ranking the most overrated and underrated coaches in college football.

Mullen is among the underrated coaches. His counterpart to the north, FSU’s Willie Taggart, is among the overrated. :p ---- :cool:

He's basically admitted that he wants to be the guy who was right from the start of Mullen doesn't work out.

Anything good that happens he just runs off for a second and then moves the goal posts.

He is who he is.

I am not moving any goal posts except lowering our likely recruiting ceiling as time goes by. I have it at about 17th in Rivals best case scenario now from about 14th previously.

You can point me out changing my doom and gloom backing off the bad stuff if you can find it however. As far as the season goes I see 8-4 or 7-5 the most likely record with 9-3 only being possible if we get pretty damn lucky in the turnover department because of the QB situation.

You can also feel free to tell me how wrong I am after Franks gets pinball numbers against lowly Charleston Southern and then I will come back to that statement when we are facing legit decent SEC defenses.
 
Sounds like Reese has a high ankle sprain some people are saying. Could miss the first couple of games.
 
A team will always miss any player of ILB Reese's quality, but it's not like it leaves an insurmountable hole in the defense...

28. ILB/OLB Kylan Johnson 6-2 232 rsJr (QB/SS)
44. ILB/OLB Rayshad Jackson 6-0 236 rsJr
33. ILB David Reese 6-1 248 Jr (Butkus, Bednarik & Nagurski W-List)
42. ILB Umstead Sanders 6-1 236 Jr - JuCo - P-WO
90. ILB/DEws Andrew Chatfield Jr 6-0 245 Fr

I hope that he's back by the UK game in week two, if it's true that he's out for now.
 
That’d suck.

It gets worse - McCoy was at Shands supposedly in crutches so we are looking at Buchanan, Jordan and Fred Johnson for the interior of our offensive line. Jordan has decent fundamentals but isn't strong enough to be a good player there I think. No comment on Fred Johnson.
 
Thank gawd that they will be on the field very soon, so that the fevered twit can stop speculating about how terrible IT'S BOUND TO BE THIS SEASON...:rolleyes:

But don't worry fellow trolls, no matter how well they do in any game, he's sure to keep up with his loser narrative with stuff like, 'next week they are surely going to suck.' :cool:

Not a loser narrative just talking some probable reality - not like I won't still be cussing up a storm when we are screwing up. You think we will be getting Ws against the top teams with that interior O line and Franks at QB?

So, how smart is this fevered twit that's claiming that he has even a clue about 'probable reality' anyway?

Merritt James Norvell (born March 28, 1963) is an American college football coach, head coach of the Mighty Nevada Wolf Pack and former player. He was previously the wide receivers coach at the University of Texas.

So that fully qualifies him to be a better HC than that no coaching, no recruiting Mullen dude.
