6-7 season 5-7 season God awful OL play/recruiting God awful Special Teams play Defense giving up explosive plays Slow approach to the transfer portal Gator Collective flopping Lose to a crappy Arkansas team who was on the verge of firing their coach Star players transferring Fired 2 coaches with no replacements lined up No OC AD wanting to decrease Swamp capacity etc. So you’re telling me none of that is what’s hurting the program? It’s the fans being mean on Twitter that’s the sole problem? The same fans that did their part and Sold Out the Swamp every game this season? What about the former UF players speaking out on Twitter lately upset with what’s going on? Are they the problem too?
Its circulating everywhere and just sticking our heads in the sand won't make it go away. It would be nice if the folks that are getting paid big $$ off of our contributions will actually get busy doing something that will yield something positive for a change.
I never said it’s all the fans fault, I’m saying adding to the negativity doesn’t help anything. It only makes a bad situation worse. I’ve never seen you say anything positive, and you disappear if ANYTHING good happens. You are all negative, all the time, and there is a good amount of very vocal “fans” that do the same. How does that help us land recruits, retain players, or lure the best staffs here?
I beg to differ. UF is one of those rare schools where the academics embrace the football program enthusiastically. Show me an accomplished professional UF graduate and I will show you a diehard college football fan. This is not the norm for elite academic institutions. In most of them, the academic circles spurn the gridiron gang. One could list the academically elite schools with this kind of attitude towards the football program on a 3x5 notecard. A few that come to mind: Ga Tech, Texas, Michigan, Clemson. For attitude, I would put us at the top of this list.
Burn down the house without insurance? Who pays the 20+ million fee after the fire? The problem with all the fire the coach people is that the sack of garbage left after the destruction has to be cleaned up, coaches have to be bought out... With monies that could actually be spent on procuring players, assistants, and upgrading facilities. The same boosters do both. I'm for supporting CBN as much as possible. When and if the money gators decide the change is necessary, that's when i will support the new coach.
I’m fine burning it all down if you want to pay to rebuild it. If you have the swing, by all means go get it done. If you don’t, what else can you do to help? Does constantly bitching and complaining help? Does calling for everyone’s head help? I can’t see how it does.
How is telling fans who are rightly pissed off about the direction of the program to just shut up and deal with it any better?
How many tickets did you buy and what exactly do you think that entitles you to? Did you buy them from the UAA, or second hand? Do you really think it’s that simple? Buy tickets and the wins should be guaranteed?
Paying my hard earned money on tickets from the UAA I’m certainly entitled to watch a team that knows how to count to 11 on Special Teams
imagine if this was FSU, Miami, Georgia, Alabama -- the 2 words to describe the situation would be dumpster fire. current staff has 2 terrible football seasons in a row very little positives from the play on the field over the past 2 season, no consistency, and both seasons, we probably got worse as the season progressed. current quality players have entered the portal. Still no special teams coordinator or any news on a Offensive coordinator. Every day, we are dropping in the recruiting rankings -- the worst part is UGA, FSU, Bama, miami are in front of us, and 4 SEC teams are on our heels. To get back to where we were we have to blow everyone away in recruiting and the portal -- and I think on the other thread someone mentioned the best edge rusher and running back in the portal are gators. that is not good. Then take into consideration the schedule next season --- its going to brutal to get to 6 wins.
