He said, "in light of expectations." If one considers the loss of two coaches, one of whom garnered incredible criticism while in Gainesville, 11 players who went on to play in the NFL, one arguably the best college football player in history, the rash of injuries and suspensions to "speed" athletes and the infusion of lots of inexperienced freshmen and red-shirt freshmen, why would anyone have expected the Gators to be eastern division champs before the start of the season? Yes, we were led to believe these freshmen were the second coming of the legendary four horsemen, but they are still inexperienced freshmen! Even Tebow didn't do that well his freshman season. We really expected too much from this team. Now, can it be fixed? What would you do, fire Meyer? As he said, he has resurrected 3 football programs in his career. Would you really expect John Brantley to transfer? Maybe he isn't Cam Newton, but if you could just get a decent running back to stay healthy and plan the offense around his drop back style he could be a lot more effective. I know, he played lousy yesterday, but the whole team gave up. Everybody did. I think the coaching staff will be able to fix things with the talent we have. And we the fans need to be more realistic about what to expect from this team. You can't just win it all every year. Look at Nick Satan! At the beginning of this season he was the answer to college football. He was the supreme commander. Where is he now? Does anyone here really Gene Chizik will sustain what's happening at Auburn? Gus Malzahn won't be able to save him next year when ole Cam is gone. Oh yes, we could get rid of Addazio. And, yes his play calling was unimaginative. But, I wonder if he might stick his neck out a little more on game day if Deonte isn't a threat to drop half of what's thrown to him. He has improved greatly this year. The team will improve in the off season. The sun will come up tomorrow. We'll be back on top.

I hear ya, but even in the Doug Dickey years, when there was no expectation of ever really being a contender, it seemed best to say 'wait 'till next year'. Saying wait 'till next decade just sounds too pathetic. J Seriously, though, we have so much talent on this team that I believe we actually can turn it around in a single year if Meyer makes the right decisions on coaching and player personnel. Whether he will or not remains to be seen, but the talent is there just waiting for the right coaches to develop it. With that, and a good game-day OC who can actually call a game, we could be back in the hunt next year. On the other hand, if Meyer goes all stubborn on us and leaves the coaching team intact, then we may as well get used to this feeling. I think it would take another full year like this before Foley would get involved.

There's no point in knocking each other in the head at this point. Our team sucked pretty badly this year, and the coaching certainly hasn't been equal to our expectations. We're back to the old maxim most of us have faced for many of our years of Gator fandom: Wait 'til next year. :-/ Cee ----- Original Message ----- From: Woody Bass <mailto:gatorrr...@gmail.com> To: gatortalk@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, November 27, 2010 8:07 PM Subject: Re: [gatortalk] Fumble oh everyone Chill out.
