    Like we build a specific knowledge base for Gator football, our players metrics statistics , other teams, film review, train the shit out of it on Gator football. All the analytics are out there. We try to have it call the Miami game. Play by play and see if it picks a different path.
    Side note, we came home last night, dog ass tired and drained of emotion and all bodily fluids, and I had my kid replay the game on NCAA25 so I could go to bed at least having watched the gators win over Miami. He’s pretty good, but he took a similar ass kicking. I wonder if the EA AI is tracking real time.

    I like the suggestion, however, I do not want to rush SOS into an early grave. Maybe have him be a director of football operations. That way he can issues some severance checks and bring in some quick fix technicians. Also, his personality and his leadership will get the team and staff on the same page.

    Zook did have a couple of good seasons at Illinois. Historicly that is not an easy thing to do. That school is a perpetual Big Ten bottom dweller.

    As being the Head Ball Coach, what Zook was great at is recruitng and great special teams.

    Game 1, and we are talking about who is best to be our interim coach. Thanks, Stricklin!!! Another great hire! Nothing like seeing our team headed for 4 straight losing seasons, the worst we have been since the 1930’s, something made even more disgusting since we are one of the wealthiest schools in the SEC.

    Why do we always get this with our hires? All they want is to bring in their buddies instead of the best position coaches.

    Spurrier brought most of his staff with him from Duke and added John Reaves. It just depends on who's hiring.

    And that was a damn good staff he put together, but lately we've been getting our head coach's with their apparent drinking buddies.

    AD should have stepped in last year and forced an OC to be hired and forced Sale out.

    Hindsight is 20/20. Hearing how our DL was talking about iron sharpening iron and how tough it was to against George should’ve been glaring red flag.

    ChatGPT on our loss…

    **Coach's Press Conference Statement:**

    "First off, credit to Miami. They played a heck of a game tonight. We didn't execute the way we needed to on either side of the ball, and that's on me. As a team, we've got to be better, and it starts with the little things—preparation, focus, and discipline.

    This was a tough loss, no doubt about it, but we're not going to let one game define our season. We've got a resilient group of guys in that locker room, and I know they'll respond the right way. We’re going to go back to work, correct the mistakes, and come back stronger.

    Our goals are still in front of us, and I believe in this team. We’re going to learn from this and move forward together. Thanks to our fans for sticking with us—we’ll bounce back."

    ---

    This type of statement acknowledges the disappointment, gives credit to the opponent, takes responsibility without being overly specific, and emphasizes a commitment to improvement and resilience.

    No, this was my prompt…

    “Can you give me a good coach speak for a press conference after the gators embarrassing loss to the canes?”

    Steve Spurrier, known for his sharp wit and candid remarks, might say something like:

    "Well, we didn’t execute like we needed to. Miami played better today, and they deserved to win. We’ve got to go back to the drawing board, figure out what went wrong, and make sure we’re ready for next week. We’ve got to coach better, and the players have got to play better. It’s as simple as that."

    Spurrier often balanced accountability with motivation, so he'd likely emphasize the need for improvement while acknowledging the opponent's performance.

    The stadium will be empty if he is not fired. 6 game losing streak! He is that bad of a coach and he has NO business calling offensive plays. What an embarassment he is. We owe Ron Zook an apology. You are right though we cant fire him after 1 game. I hope is stops calling plays and give us fans something fun to watch.

    When we are 1-7 and BN is let go, does it really matter who the interim coach is. Heck, the rest of the home games might be free.

    I think he is fired with a UCF loss or no more than 2 wins heading into uga. What is the point: it can’t get worse if that is where we are and it shows recruits that changes are coming.
