Ugh. It'll probably happen too.
I still can't believe our defense gave up only two scores and 119 yards, yet it was 42-13.
edit: yay, new page. No more Driskel glimpse when reloading.

Nebraska vs Rutgers at home this week. Sorry Sirpopop, I don't think this is your week.
I demand another mix tape as something to console my sorrows after the loss this week. I will send you my new address.
Could he even be considered impartial with Ole Miss in the hunt?
Get lou Holtz in there to replace him.

Blessed man still keeps ND in the playoff... I admire his passion, but let's be realistic. Still need to win the next five games, look good, and hope for some more clusterfucks for other one-loss teams.
He really is. Despite having such thin numbers (and talent) to work with, the secondary is showing real signs of improvement in being in the right place and there to contest passes and pick balls off. When he starts getting the guys he wants (if he sticks around), he could really have a great defense.
That's what's so crazy about Muschamp. Their defense is still really great, but Driskel is so bad that it doesn't matter. Thing is, anybody would be better than Driskel. I don't see why he won't take a chance with someone else rather than being so stubborn.
Don't really get the bolded statement. This is his 4th season there. He should have the guys he wants already.
I don't follow Gata enough to know about attrition or things like that but everybody on the roster that's not a 5th year senior was signed under his watch.

It was maddening how long Harris was on the bench. He messed up early, but Driskel is a proven fuckup and Harris just made a freshman mistake.
Sorry, I may not have been clear who I was talking about. I'm talking about Jeremy Pruitt, our defensive coordinator. His first year on the job. Not talking about Muschamp until my second paragraph.
Muschamp has had plenty of time to prove himself. As much as I love him being there, he's not head coach material. I'm glad the Gatas found out and not us. He needed to take Driskel out permanently last year.
Exactly. Harris is going to make some dumb mistakes because he's a freshman. But he's probably going to make some good plays too. Driskel isn't going to make any good plays, and he's going to continue shooting your defense in the foot over and over. Driskel being out there over and over has to be one of the worst things about being a Florida fan right now.
A walk-on would be a better option.

I just look at Gators (Meyer or Muschamp recruited) that are now playing in the NFL. Like Hammond Jr. Or Burton. They are producing and even starting. There is a serious lack of talent development on offense.
Plus Pease set us back so far. No o-line recruiting to speak of. Missing the boat on key talent. And telling the WR coach to back off Rudolph and Cooper. The seven step drops. 14 seconds in the pocket to develop a play.

No, Morninwheg... (he's not a walk on, but he should be)
Ah. I probably would have gotten that if I had gone back to the original post that Meier was quoting.
Muschamp doesn't know his ass from his elbow when it comes to recruiting offensive players. And while the defense is good, there are no outstanding players who blow you away with their play. Our best player might be Hargreaves, and he's incredibly inconsistent.
Muschamp's first weakness is his subpar recruiting at what was the best program in the state. His second failing is his stubborn loyalty to Driskel. Whatever he promised him to get him signed was far too much. I want to find my posts from the first games Driskel played for us. I picked up on his shortcomings immediately. I think I've said from day 1 that kid isn't worthy of being called a Florida QB. He somehow managed to be worse than the failed project that was Trey Burton at QB.
This is not hyperbole, folks. This is the worst Gators team, and Driskel is the worst Gators QB I have ever seen. I've been watching the team closely since the 90s, and we have hit bottom this year. If the Dolphins can't get Harbaugh, I'd love for the Gators to make a run at him. Get his recruiting and passion in this football rich state, in a big money conference like the SEC? Hell yeah. PEACE.

I would assume either his comment about the girl that killed herself or the subsequent post did him in.
What a piece of shit (for the former comment).

Harbaugh would be short term. I'd like Mullen. Starkville has one wal-mart and is less than an hour from Tuscaloosa. Anyone that can win there...
Muschamp stuck with Driskel because he really thought that was the best chance. And that's why Muschamp has to go.
Edit: Cris Collinsworth was the worst QB we had

CFBGAF should hop on that cryptocurrency train and make our owndufrees currency.
Supposed to be 65 that day, so it should be great tailgating weather.
Chris Rix wasn't that bad. Xavier Lee was worse than Rix.
Rix gets a bad rap because he was a douchey average qb at the same time as our dip into mediocrity.
You have to remember those were the Jeff Bowden days.
His mother apparently told somebody that it was a stab wound from an altercation he wasn't really a part of, but he was in a boot after getting hurt during the game and couldn't get out of the way. Says he's more beat up from the game than from the events Saturday night, so he's hopeful that he'll get to play on Saturday but it will just depend on how quickly it heals.
Is Kyle Wright in the conversation?

This is really unfair to Rix. He was actually above average. There were a lot of other things going on in the program that contributed to the dropoff, and Rix had to follow up after Chris Weinke, who had an insane run at FSU QB.
When I think of hilarious interceptions, I think of Chris Rix.

thanks for the updates. Gotta keep calm. I'm used to seeing my team choke. Especially the Titans, losing a 25 pt lead and then losing to Colt McCoy!!
Colt McCoy fellas

When i think of Chris Rix I think of a hilarious blown call leading into a long touchdown pass to win the game late in Gainesville while I am in the student section cheering and thinking about how i am about to get my ass kicked. But Florida fans are too classy for that. For fucks sake, they aren't Miami fans.

The thing is he'd score plenty of points and look good and then WOOPS RIX'D for a pick-six. It was maddening but he was at least putting points on the board and moving the football most of the time. At that point all of us in Tallahassee had been spoiled by like 11 years of excess and Rix had to take it on the chin.
He was honestly a better athlete and more consistent performer than two of Tallahassee's elder deacons, Peter Tom Willis and Danny Kannell, names you will hear very few in the city ever speak ill of.
I don't really see the advantage of a mid season firing. I think Muschamp is gone but it just won't be announced till the end of the season.

My wife has a very negative reaction to football (due to a former husband's obsessiveness with NFL) but I still keep up with the college scene as much as I can, and try to get to one FSU game a year (though being in Tallahassee while FSU was in Raleigh this year might mean I brick).
Muschamp's safe until the end of the year unless the team is literally on the brink of collapse. One humiliation and a 3-3 schedule don't equal that. The only way I could see him being replaced is if there was a interim head coach who might make a reasonable permanent head coach ready to hire right now.

Will Muschamp has demolished our program. Clearly this was a Georgia plot all along.
I'm amazed every time I see this. I can't believe we got this hire so wrong.
The wife is pretty understanding as long as I keep the honey-do list in check. I'm not above bribing with known-favorite home-cooked meals if there are multiple games I'd like to see.

Speaking of banned posters, can Cyan un-perma Mid R, please?
As a Misspspspsisi State fan, he must be going nuts right now. He was hilarious. (For all the wrong reasons.) I want him back.

You gotta appreciate the little things.
I thought that after John Brantley, we could never do worse.
I need to stop saying these things.
Also, Spencer Hall breaks down the lowest moment.

It's very likely that Taylor Kelly will be back for this game, too.

I wonder how many of the wins in the left column are his as well.
Not trying to make a point or anything, just curious.
