    ah, kk. guess i didn't quite remember what you posted. i think at teams with inferior talent, an excellent coach can play giant killer. i also think it's impossible to keep guys that high for a whole season. cept for a couple opponents, iowast has a talent disadvantage to every other team on their schedule.

    The real short of it: folks don’t like folks who’s mission in life is to rain on everyone’s parade.

    And while BTG has been confident in his source’s info and hasn’t posted much else, Tilly has gone out of his way to provide both positive and potentially negative info. Like others on here, I just don’t understand what drives a person to continually visit a website when the only pleasure they seem to derive out of it is complaining about what they’re reading and who is writing it.

    You seem to be misunderstanding that post. It was earnest, not sarcasm.

    That and some posters are ONLY negative. And a subsection of those only seem to want to bash our program at every turn.

    Alright! Im out. This was fun and weird and exhausting. Nothing has changed other than scale of rumors which points to CK heading to Tenn...does that even make sense? No. Thanks @tilly and @BenTrillGriffin for keeping the faith and sticking to your guns...feels like this bizarre situation with CK will end tmw. Cheers!

    The scheme is the same in the NFL: have better players than your opponent. The mental part gets figured out sooner or later. That is why you don't know whether you have a franchise QB or not until about the 5th year.

    I agree. It's just a big leap of faith for me.

    I'm just interested in talking football, not memes.

    Well technically i could be a complete moron and he could still pick florida its just that everything my nfl insider has told me combined with tea leaves from other spots leads me to feeling insanely confident that chip is absolutely not picking florida.

    I disagree (I think?). Because there's so much parity in the NFL, scheming makes more of a difference than it does in college (although, it makes a big difference in college). It's why a guy like Wade Phillips can come in and turn around defense after defense during his career. Talent matters. You can't make chicken salad out of chicken scat, but the majority of NFL teams are close enough in talent that scheming makes a huge difference.

    Of course, having a franchise QB definitely helps.

    I respectfully disagree. At UF we have had two examples of coaches that made a ‘done deal’ then Chang d thier mind. Still the deal in principle was announced. I don’t believe any deal was agreed to here and the the marketing of this board was done to sell premiums. Which is OK because that is why this board is here, to make money. I chose not to pay and yet have seen any reason too.
    Thank you for the info you have provided for free.
