We sucked for 60 years because the demographics of the Sunshine State were completely different in 1953 versus 2013.
Florida wasn't the most populous state in the Southeast 60 years ago, and there was this thing called segregation that sent elite athletes to FAMU and Grambling instead of UF and LSU.
fla fans got spoiled with the title by spurrier and 2 by meyer and expect every coach to do the same thing. it doesn't work that way. plus, meyer got lucky and won titles with tebow.
He had a good year last season but I'm not sold on him. He's not Meyer or Spurrier. He can be out manuevered. How does Butch match up with him? Can he outchess muschump?
The head coach is responsible for everything!!! Including who he hires as OC (Charlie Weiss) that worked out didn't it.
He is also responsible for having his team prepared and ready to play!! What a great coaching job he did against LOUISVILLE!!
Right now, get real he hasn't proven (or disproven) how good a coach he is.
But he does appear to look like a deer in headlights at times. MUSCHUMP!!!
He is 0-6 in the Florida/Georgia game.
One other thing Florida SUCKS!!1
He may be a good DC, which is debatable, but he's a bad HC or at least he has been so far. His team is poorly conditioned and poorly coached. Any team that has that many penalties is poorly coached. With the talent Fla has they should be a better team than they are. Compared to Jones, Jones hasn't coached enough games in a good conference to judge yet but I personally like Jones better. IMO Muschamp will be gone in 3-4 years after making R Zook look like a genius.
They'll be in every game because of their defense.. He's a good defensive coach. I guess we'll see how good of a head coach he is this year. I say 7-5, 8-4 is about where they land.. Their defense is stout.
Nonsense...you can argue whether or not Muschamp is a "good" head coach, but to debate his ability to coach up elite defenses is laughable.
If UT brought in a coach with Muschamp's credentials and he won 11 games his second year...and extended the winning streak over Florida...you guys would be ready to build the man a statue.
Losing our starting QB and defensive leader, I'll gladly take 8-4.
LSU, UGA and South Carolina will be tough games.
I swear there should be an IQ test required before people can post on here. We have one of the largest conglomerates of dumbass fans, rivaled only by Bama and UK.
Muschamp has beaten us 3 straight times, fairly soundly each time, against 2 different coaches, with his players and with CUM's players. Anyone who tries to discount his ability to coach up and motivate a team is grasping at straws to somehow make our situation not seem so bad.
