I was referring to games 1 to 3 of this year? They had stud, veteran players, and nine months of practice and working out together.
You think they looked like a great coached team? I don't. I stick by statement that in the first couple of games this season - we did not look well coached and ready to play.

And most of our wins have been by double digits. And we play in the strongest conference in college football. So I guess I would have three questions: How many other Div 1 coaching staffs can say all of that? (One I know of and we will see them in action this week. ) How many times can we say that about Florida football in our history? (I don't think it has ever happened.) Who would you bring in to fix these serious coaching problems? (It probably needs to be someone with extensive keyboard coaching experience.) It also seems like we are seeing continuous progress in each of the areas below. ----- Original Message ----- From: Keith Baldwin <mailto:ke...@baldwinnc.com> To: gatortalk@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2010 1:01 PM Subject: RE: [gatortalk] FW: [gatornews] [Foxsportsflorida.com] Gator offense finds its identity Centers that can't snap the ball - and the other centers are much worse?

That says - serious coaching problems. Why is the defense able to play - and now start - so many true freshmen? And have confidence in them? Granted defense is easier than offense - but we are comparing true freshmen on defense versus offensive guys that have been in the system for years. How are other teams - like Cam Newton at Auburn, Ingrahm and Richardson at Alabama, Lattimore at South Carolina - able to do it? Oliver - I am not going off on you - but on this topic - all of these excuses - for why players are not ready to play after several years in the system. Debose sat out all last year - and this year he doesn't know the plays? What the heck was he doing last year while sitting around rehabing? Why didn't they have some graduate assistant sitting there next to the hot tub quizzing him on the plays? There are serious problems in developing these studs - and all I've heard are excuses. I am not calling for firing the coaches - obviously they do some good things. But to not have these guys ready to play is inexcusable and speaks of a major problem. I don't know what the fix is - but then again I am not being paid $3 million (or whatever) to fix it. We just wasted four games teaching guys how to block, run routes, and snap the ball. Maybe we should go back to a JV team? That is what schools use to do to develop players so that once they hit the big time - they were ready. This is what I hope Foley is asking Urban Meyer.

"I want to say we were fifty-fifty run, pass on all those big drives we had. (We had) a lot of first down mixing (the run with) the drop back and the play action pass and we're going to move in that direction. We have to. Now that we have confidence in our receivers that's the direction we're gonna go." -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
