Are you satisfied with the way your team played this year as well as how your coaches prepared the team and made game day decisions during the games.

If so, by all means step up and say so( except for Instant whose only gripe is that Trask didn't start from the day the Mother ship delivered him to Gainesville from the planet Tejas)


For those who aren't happy, is there one specific thing that was wrong( IE playing someone due to seniority rather than ability a thing Phil Fulmer was horribly guilty of doing or a coach who called the same play on a specific down on offense or defense or perhaps a lack of Senior leadership?)


Or was it a multitude of errors( like I feel with UT)?

I am serious although I know that there will be some who will simply use the occasion to mock me simply for being who and what I am.
 
Most of us are fed up with Nuss as OC and many wish a freshman would have got a chance to play after that Arkansas game at least. He just isn't a good play caller it seems and once we go through the first scripted plays we are very easy to defend.
 
After falling apart at the end of last season, our team was totally dominated on 4 occasions (so far) this year.

I am not satisfied.
 
I think if you flip through a few of these threads, posted since the SECC game, you'll get a pretty good sense of the sentiment toward Mac right now.
 
For Fsu, absolutely not, we have Charles Kelly as our DC who is probably not a top 50 or 60 DC. He cant stop a spread offense to save his life. Oregon scored 3490853409854 points on us, then Louisville scored 238052308 points on us. He is LOST as a defensive coach. He is a weird human being as well. We will nvr make the playoffs as long as he is there. He sucks on 3rd down calls, cant coach zone defense, doesn't have a feel for the game, acts very strange on the sideline(seems like he fakes emotion). Our defense was top 5 the previous 5 years he arrived and he has never been top 10, Id say in the 40's or worse(last year we lucked out in playing almost no good qb's so it looked better than what it was.

Offensively I think it was the year we were expecting. We played well the majority of the time because of Dalvin and Francois but the o line was down right awful for over half the year. The receivers did not get good separation and Jimbo falls in love with playing the runts instead of the bigger receivers.

9-3 is a disappointment, no ACC title. The ONLY good thing that came out of the year is we beat Miami and UF but both teams are down right now so, is that really a big accomplishment?


If I was a gator fan, I guess I wouldn't be happy but winning the SEC east is an accomplishment, yes its not that good of a division right now but you still won it. I think if the Gators could have at least kept it close against FSU and Bama the season would have been a success. Obviously, the Gators have a deficiency on the offensive side of the ball and that is really what kept you out of games. If I was a gator fan, I would be upset at the lack of offense

Not happy with Nuss. Puzzled by Collins play calling. Wonder why it took so long for Mac to figure out that our play calling is very predictable.

Yeah, I glanced at the subject matters. Read a couple of threads. Haven't spent much time reading or posting.

Battling Kidney disease. Been sick for a long time. Had surgery on November 7. Have to go back shortly to the Hospital for more surgery as the surgery on Nov. 7. failed and the one kidney shut down completely.

Got to get my radiator flushed I suppose. Core seems to be clogged up.;).

Just quicker to have responses in one thread. At last for me.

Not gunna lie, playcalling is huge problem for you guys. Run, run, 3 and 12, wild pass..... I mean, there has to be plays beyond the scripted playcalls that work.

Hope you get to feeling better. Watching Gator football certainly won't help.
 
My issues center around the refusal to adjust anything offensively and then the recruiting. I never expect miracles with a new staff, recruit well and keep building and getting better slowly by slowly until you can make a run at a championship.

Well on the first part each of the last two seasons we've gotten worse on offense so no improvement and we tank at the end of each season so there's no improvement as a team either. Recruiting wise we aren't meeting crucial needs so it's hard to see where the improvement in the future is gonna come from. How we only have 1 OL commit and 0 DT commits just makes no sense to me.

So put it altogether

1. Bad offensive coaching
2. Little to no improvement as a team
3. Mediocre recruiting

Thanks.
It is what it is. Lots of folks are a lot worse off. People with heart disease, cancer, etc, etc.

It's an inherited defect. No cure but also, no set time limit on who it kills. Killed my grandmother( dad's mom) when she was 39. Killed my dad's oldest sister when she was 35. Killed my cousin Chip when he was 42. I have gone through 9 Kidney surgeries over the last 15 years.Nearly every male on my dad's side of the family has it to one degree or another. I have one cousin who's on dialysis awaiting a kidney transplant I am 58 so I'm doing well all things considered. Dad's oldest brother managed to make it to 76 and he suffered with it.

That sucks, man. Sorry to hear it. Health stuff sucks. I recommend medicinal marijuana, if you have access to it. I've tried the non-medicinal variety and it is excellent.
 
Overall, I think this is the worst season for the SEC as a whole that I can remember. Outside of the Crimson Stain, there's not a single team with fewer than 4 losses.


I opined the following on the Vol Board.

"This has been a sorry year for the SEC. I can think of no fan base that is happy right now save for the fans of The Crimson Stain and those of Vandy and Ky.

The former are probably bored with yet another undefeated season, while the latter two are thrilled not to be fighting for who's the worst team in the SEC.


Both are going to a Bowl. Something alien to their fans.


Other 11 fanbases are in turmoil and uproars over unmet expectations and piss poor coaching decisions that affected game outcomes. That so many SEC Teams( 11 of 14) are going to a Bowl masks the pathetic play of SEC Teams this season and the ridiculous proliferation of Bowl Games.

Like getting a trophy, going to a bowl used to mean something. Nowadays, EVERYBODY gets one."

I don't know how you can be critical of play calling when the quarterback play was so terrible. That's on the coaches for sure. Appleby is a totally inaccurate passer, even when he makes the right reads. How could the freshmen be worse? After a great first drive, he played like he'd bet everything he owned on Alabama.

I appreciate the sentiments expressed here. I never meant for the post to be about me personally. I was just explaining why I hadn't read much when I posted. Wish I hadn't said anything as it detracts from my goal of finding out what U/F fans are thinking about this season and their coach. Already know what most Vol fans are thinking about this season, team play and of course - Lyle and it ain't pretty( his real 1st name and it pisses off the Orange Colored Glasses - See no Evil, Hear no Evil, Speaketh no Evil toward our beloved "Butch" bunch.

. I plan on visiting the Dawgs next to see what they say. Then around those whose boards are not closed.

Look at the game vs Tennessee. Appleby was allowed to wing it in the 1st half and he dominated. 2nd half, the OC got kidnapped by one of Instantgoober's aliens and a body double replaced him who would call 2 consecutive dives and an incomplete pass on 3rd down forcing a 3 & out something like 8-10 consecutive drives.


At the time, I thought that your OC had lost his mind but was happy over it. He tried to sit on that lead and run out the clock. Like the old 4-Corner stall in Basketball before the shot clock.

It was insane what he did.

imo, I think this is all coaching based. I think inly a handful of SEC programs have the coach that can meet their potential. I believe most schools have a coa h whose ceiling is below program potential. Keeping in mind potetntial is different, NCs at Bama, comepting weekly for places like Vandy and UK.

Schools whose coach I believe can meet potential:

Bama, Barn, Ole Piss (if no sanctions), MSU, Vandy, UK

Maybe: TAMU

Schools whose coaches ceilings are below program potential:

UT, Mizzou, Arky, UF, UGa, USCe, LSU

The two don't have to be mutually exclusive. We haven't had great QB's but good playcallers find things their QB's can do well and work from there. Then you have counters off of those handful of things and just add more to the offense as you go. If for example Appleby is bad at throwing downfield (and he is) then if the OC calls a a post and he's way off is that poor QB play, poor playcalling, or both? If he can't make the throw why call it to begin with?

Appleby is a mediocre passer with some athleticism. The best the offense has looked all year with him was the SC game. Why? Because we involved his athleticism in the gameplan. We ran him which forced SCAR to keep an extra defender on him which took one more defender out of the pass defense. Then we could use counters off of that. We might have called 5 designed QB runs since that game. Why did we go away from it?

I agree with this. I do think the first half of the Bama game was well called. The windows were there. If Appleby can't throw downfield--which I agee he can't--why not put the freshmen in? You needed those passes to beat Bama.

The Tennessee game was a great example of bad playcalling leading to poor play.

Yea I thought the Bama game was called decently too. That was more on the QB than anything although we still had moments of braindead playcalling.

WoW! It's certainly a miracle that your broken legs and/or kidney's never seem to bother you (especially in the off-season and/or pre-season) when you're running your idiot mouth about anything and everything related to the Gators or UF. But after your team/HC SUCKS yet again, you disappear from the boards. Maybe your sickness (gutlessness) derives from all of those CROW dinners that have been shoved down your idiot, Mad-Dog-dollie throat through the years. o_O

So while I'd never wish you any harm,,, I also don't G-a-S what happens to you. Oh BTW - Maybe it's the hillbilly inbreeding that's causing your family so many medical problems? jus-sayin' :D

VU 45 - 34 Tn <<<-------- :D
Tn 45 - 24 VaTech ACCc-C
Tn 38 - 28 UF SECe-C
UF 13 - 6 VU (and Mad-Dog ran his mouth about the UF - VU score)

UGa 33 - 24 NC ACC
UGa 13 - 7 AU SECw
It took a minor miracle and stupidity on UGa leghumper players,
for tennis-sea to get a last play of the game Hail-Mary 1 pt win. o_O
UGa 10 - 24 UF SECe-C :p -- So even when you manage to get a once a decade win at home over UF, you still suck so bad that you still can't even win the weak SECe. :cool:

Nobody is ever totally satisfied with their coaches I'm betting. But for their 1st 2 years, yeah, I'm okay with them. That means that I'd not fire them yet, not that me or anyone else will ever be 100% satisfied.

PS -- And attempting to tell me how I can respond, or that I'm not allowed to respond on my own Gator board, is right up there with your usual idiot behavior, besides being pretty darn funny to me... :D

Does that mean I don't get no Christmas card from you?


Oh yeah, that's right. You and your Andromedans don't celebrate Christmas. My bad.

BTW, watch getting out of the tub. Broken hip at your age is a death sentence you know.

How much did your season tickets cost in 1950 when that great Tennessee Vol Bob Woodruff rescued U/F and made it respectable after 25 years of pure embarrassment? I know you were there on opening day. You were what, 30, 31 in 1950?

Or has dementia robbed you of your memory and left you relying on stacks upon stacks of worthless, useless stats that nobody else even bothers to read because they are written like some 7 yr old would have done?

Why not use either of the Freshmen Q/Bs?

Real reason IMHO?

Nothing more than fear. Some like the current coaches at UT and UF coach not to lose instead of coaching to win. That means Red Shirts stay on even if it costs their team a chance to win.

Take that RS off and piss off your junior or senior Q/B. The Freshman will make mistakes. Always happens. They usually more than make up for their mistakes with raw talent and youthful exuberance.

Senior Q/B will sulk and then not give a damn when he is called upon to take back over later in the year. Plus, that Junior or senior has friends on the team that the freshman does not. Guys who will simply refuse to do their best when that freshman takes the place of that Junior or Senior Pal unless the starter gets hurt and can't play.

Unless injury forces the scared coach's hand, they will play their "More experienced" Q/B, RB, Center, etc than some guy who was playing in High School last year.

The Sabans, Meyer's, Spurrier at UF and even at Li'l USC when he was building up that program and got it to 11 win seasons for the 1st time in school history, Barry Switzer at Oklahoma, etc all valued putting the BEST on the field. They were NEVER afraid of losing because they had faith in themselves as coaches and in their players regardless. In doing so, they almost never lost.

Ain't going to find that quality in "Butch" or "Mr Swamp Donkey."
 
I just wonder how you haven't choked to death on that CROW that got stuffed down your idiot Mad-Doggie throat....

Did your 1st cousin wife give you the hinny-lic maneuver to clear your throat?

What does a 300+ pound 6'6", 6'7"( depending on what service you are reading) PF have to do with Football?

Dodo

He quit playing football to concentrate on basketball sometime during his junior season.

LIKE HIS BROTHER, he wants to play in the NBA. Memphis has put a whole lot more in the NBA than UT has and the UT coach who put his brother in the NBA is now coaching at Auburn.

As for eating crow, refresh my memory. What team won in the head to head match up this season between UF and UT?

What was the score?

Simple questions that do not need 6" of Male Bovine Defecation from you
 
My issues center around the refusal to adjust anything offensively and then the recruiting. I never expect miracles with a new staff, recruit well and keep building and getting better slowly by slowly until you can make a run at a championship.

Recruiting wise we aren't meeting crucial needs so it's hard to see where the improvement in the future is gonna come from. How we only have 1 OL commit and 0 DT commits just makes no sense to me.

So put it altogether

1. Bad offensive coaching
2. Little to no improvement as a team
3. Mediocre recruiting

im not sure if you get worse at the end of the season. I think you just play teams that matchup well against you. Fsu, bama, and Michigan (I think), all had good defenses to stop the offense and it basically left you handicap in the game since all of those offenses can score. Not saying the offense got better but the matchups against you did. Same as this year. Now, I watched every gator game this year except one or two and I did not see the team improving, just up and down, up and down.

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said recruiting. Not sure Coach Mac can recruit at an elite level. UF recruits itself for about half of each class, same as any big time program. It is the ones where he has to go in and convince the kid, I don't see him being able to do that. It was reported that he rubbed some high school coaches the wrong way, not sure if it was true or not but its out there.
 
If Stokes is as bad as you claim, then why was tennis-sea attempting to recruit him so hard? They all but got on their knees begging him to not embarrass them... :cool:

You're correct. Tell me then, how many times has tennis-sea won against UF in the last 12 years? Who has the longest winning streak in the entire football history between us?
And since you claim that UF has NO HISTORY OR TRADITIONS, could you tell me how far ahead your rubber dollies are in the All Time W/L vs UF? :oops:

Remember, short answers are all you need, not your usual dump truck full of answer dodging confetti... o_O

Tennessee hasn't played Men's basketball ( except when it came to playing the Gators) since 1977 so I don't know nor care about that intramural activity.


You failed to offer any explanation why a 300+ Lb 6'6" basketball player has ANYTHING to do with the FOOTBALL team.


My memory regarding UT football became very limited to only what happened this season. Probably the medications I have been forced to endure. Only game I can recall was UT 38 UF 28.


You've shown that you are without any class so take your walker, bedpan and git. I'm done with you. The others have responded with intelligent thought while you are the horses arse you are.. Problem is, I don't know if you are Statler or Waldorf. Come on, and reveal which one you are.

For Old Time's sake?

Damn bub, hope you get well.

Here is my complaint. Do not like the OC one bit.

Do not like the ST Coordinator one bit.

Not too fond of the S&C coach because we are soft!

Wish Mc would have gave one of the freshman snaps at QB.

Here is the positive...
We have a descent core of young skill players. Swain, Hammond, Perine as true freshmen. Scarlett and Callaway as true soph.

Build off that and change up the offense, play calling, etc.

How are the "Beat" Sports reporters handling things. Still "Don't panic, All's well? Or have you had any like this dude who tore the bark plumb off of Lyle's Log.

I don't know how you can be critical of play calling when the quarterback play was so terrible. That's on the coaches for sure. Appleby is a totally inaccurate passer, even when he makes the right reads. How could the freshmen be worse? After a great first drive, he played like he'd bet everything he owned on Alabama.
That is why I remain a bit hopeful if Nuss remains.
 
Hang in there MD. Wishing the best for you.

I think TennesseeGator captured most of my gripes about the SOTP. So far to go still. Hoping we can at least scratch out a Bowl win....unlike last season.

Tennessee. Appleby was clicking and we came out after the half and quit trying to score. Reason one.

Reason two, Nuss have overseen three straight offenses ranked in the hundreds.

AND, if you read the posts, everyone admits he does well on the firat drive or two. But halftime adjustments, probably the worst in CFB
