Timing of Changes to Staff

Let's hope that doesn't happen. We'll be starting the clock all over again.

 

My memory is fuzzy. Didn't he get suspended by the NCAA for a full 1.5 years for PEDs? I thought that Grier's Father wanted guarantees from Mac that Grier would be the starter again as soon as the suspension was lifted and Mac wouldn't agree to that. If so, I don't blame Mac, because who knows who would come aboard at QB in the mean time.

 

while watching Dawgs vs OHS, they panned on Muschamp which got me thinking about their level of defensive coaching experience compared to ours, which didn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling

 

The level of defensive coaching experience that gave up 41 in that game?

 

Conflicting stories. One school of thought was that Shark Boy pushed the father narrative out there to give himself cover.

The other is the article with the unnamed assistant who says that Shark Boy wanted his own hand picked guy behind center and not a Muschamp recruit.

Then I go back to an actual quote that Shark Boy's dog, Clarabelle, could run his offense.

Regardless, it was a failed hire by Foley that has been a sad part of our history.

 

yes and that was the exception, as they gave up on average just a little over 13 points per game this year

 

Just to keep you in the loop factually, McElwain was NOT the guy in the photo with the shark. But carry on.

 

He will get a third unless there’s some catastrophic event.

 

Figured that, don't remember how he got the name, but it sticks.

 

If you don't remember how he got it, maybe you shouldn't resort to using it.

 

Day is considered a premier play caller too, well, that was before the last series.

 

So are you seriously suggesting that the UAA and our coaches should have been prescribing drugs to our players that are prescribed to help diabetics, are totally inappropriate for the players, and have very serious side effects??? Last time I checked, coaches can't prescribe prescribe prescription drugs. I guess you are assuming that the coaches can wrangle some Shands doctor, or some team physician into writing these scrips? Classy.

Both of the medications you suggest were developed to help diabetics; one of the side effects of these meds happens to be weight loss, which is generating quite a bit of media attention among such reputable media outlets as the National Enquirer.

Among the many other serious side effects of these drugs are such small things as pancreatitis, kidney failure and gall bladder problems. The list is quite long. There is no chance a reputable physician affiliated with UF would ever write such a prescription, nor should they. But make them take it dammit!!! Who cares if they don't want to??

Is that the "important detail" that our coaching staff overlooked?

I read posts like this and can do nothing but shake my head about some of the posters on this board

 

They are playing for a title in their next game. Let’s laugh it up, why don’t we.

 

Stop shaking your head. Semaglutide is a diabetes drug that is also approved for weightloss under the brand name Wegovy which is just a higher dose than Ozempic. It is legal for physicians to prescribe for weightloss. In months there will be a complementary weightloss alternative to Mounjaro. I am not a doctor nor are the coaches or the UAA, but they have doctors who do know that not all medically recommended weightloss can occur from sheer willpower or careful calorie control and the side-effects of out of control weight are at least as negative as what you read on the drug label. Of course, I don't wish on people that they have to live off pills and injections, but some will have to have them. You may notice in my postings that 90% of what I say is in jest, and I don't know for certain that he had a problem that must be treated with drugs, but turning him away from potential treatment that could alleviate so many complications for the rest of his life would be truly cruel.

 

I think he's likely met with a lot of doctors, and nutritionists for that matter, since he arrived in Gainesville. If they wanted him on weight loss drugs, he'd likely be on them.

 

If Napier is as detail oriented as we are lead to believe, it didn’t go by him.

 

I would hope so. It has to be a balancing act though with trainers, doctors and dieticians because he needs a lot of calories regardless but has to lose weight that stays off. I read that there is still a bias with doctors and even nutritionists and dieticians that the new weight loss drugs are unnecessary. But some cannot lose weight just by calories reduction. He is many dozens of lbs above what is marginally healthy for even his frame.

 

Can’t lose weight with calorie reduction vs snickers

 

He'd better - or perhaps I would be out.

 

6-6 may be a great coaching job. This isn’t the acc.
