To a large degree, they did. But even the most rabid Nole hater would concede they were a shell of their original team. They didn't care and...
Given a typical SEC schedule (not our 2024 schedule), it wouldn't have mattered much. I've heard this All Cupcake Conference stuff since FSU...
Well, when ya consider we didn't go to a bowl last year...
Try to get used to the fact that we aren't in the SOS and Meyer Era with loaded teams.
Well, that and Cam Newton not running his offense...
Didn't he have an ACC schedule his first two years as well?
Disagree. Meyer's talent in 2005 was far better than what we have now, and we won 9 games. Meyer's talent was far better in 2010 and won only 8...
To say stars don't matter suggests that our coaches can identify talent better than the others. You believe that? The recruiting and W/L record...
Wouldn't have mattered that much the last three years...
But both Spurrier and Meyer benefitted tremendously by inheriting loaded rosters of talent. They also benefitted from having the easiest...
It's not where we were, either. The last top class was 2010. Muschamp had two #3 classes, but as we all now know, those top players were on...
Since 2014, Florida averages 6th in the SEC and consistently behind FSU and Miami. We are no longer getting top 10 classes.
So we sift through coaching staffs every three years until we luck out? After Billy goes, it will be coach #6 since 2010. Frankly, I wonder if...
Absolutely. I agree, but we wouldn't have been 10-2, either. Look at Saban's first year at Bama, or Smart's first year at Georgia. Meyer's...
Of course not, but Ole Miss was 29-10 their last three years, while Florida is 17-21. For the last three years, at least, Ole Miss is the better...
Not accepting mediocrity at all. Meyer was an up and coming head coach from a G5 conference. But I'll ask. Who would we hire that has a proven...
Doesn't work that way. We could be Georgia and it doesn't change the schedule...
Spoken like a 1990s or Meyer-era Gator. Great coaches don't grow on trees...
So how much longer are we going to go three and out until we find the "right" coach? In perpetuity?
Gotcha. Let's look at the SEC schedule of each team and get the average: Florida: 19th Oklahoma: 21st Vandy: 23d Arkansas: 24th Miss State:...
