Steve won a Title and multiple SEC's as a coach, He won a Heisman, and he developed Danny into a Heisman QB.
Billy has been to 3 final fours. 3 Title games and won 2 National Championships. And also has multiple SEC's
Tim is the most popular and perhaps the most beloved. But to say "of course" is a bit of an exaggeration in my opinion.

Agree. Tim is without doubt the most popular, and most decorated--and largely due to exposure, outside of his accomplishments. But considering Danny didn't get the same degree of exposure(mostly due to technology and media), and SOS-while a player--had virtually no exposure whatsoever. IMO, if ranking a Gator as 'greatest', it should be the entire package and when ALL things are considered--the whole body of work....SOS deserves the title over anyone else considered.
Danny and Tim both are equals in their accomplishments and deserved to be tied at #2, with multiple players falling in close behind.

Yeah, I mean I remember being frustrated as all get out with the 20006 offense at times so I looked back at there stats and its kind of stunning how much better that offense was than what we've had recently- it wasn't a Tebow offense, a Spurrier Offense or even the best Leak offense but it was much, much better than what we had last year- it really puts into perspective just how far away we were from a true title contender despite our ranking.

Greatest Coach, no doubt- he combines the length and program building of Spurrier with the peak value of Meyer.

We need a new offensive star, its only been 3 seasons but Tim feels like longer ago- I just don't want to be like those sad old UGA fans talking about "back when we had Herschel"

I continue to think that Muschamp is building a Bama-type offense, with no big stars. Not flashy in the Spurrier-Era fashion, but damned effective in the Galen Hall-Charley Pell manner...

Wilber Marshall was an animal. Unlike SOS and Tebow, he was an all-pro NFL player for many years. Same can obviously be said for Emmitt. But you gotta love Spurrier for resurrecting the program as well as for the greatest sound bite in Gator history: "You can't spell 'Citrus' without UT."

You forgot "most recent".
I love Tebow, but he's third behind Danny and SOS.

It speaks volumes about Bama's offenses throughout the decades that Ingram was their FIRST heisman trophy winner. I said 'Bama-TYPE offense.' And it's true. That offense, with a dominant defense, wins rings. Ask Spurrier, who finally domped his offense-first philosophy in 2010 and started winning at USCe.

Tebow,SOS, Danny & Billy in no particular order because they each individually did great things here on and off the field of play.

What did we win in that period? That's not the way modern Florida football has worked we build on speed and flash with an aggressive defense- it takes advantage of our state's talent base, until we accomplish something as a team of grinders I'll remain a bit skeptical; winning cures everything but its not as fun to watch as the Meyer and Spurrier approaches.

Good defense is necessary but it's bit overrated look at the last decade every title winner had a great defense but about half were offense led teams- USC 04, Texas 05, Florida 08, Auburn 10- all were offense first teams.
