And several that STILL think there is a perfect coach out there somewhere. Bama fans freaked when RIch Rod turned them down and they ended up with Saban. Norvell was the ordained savior at FSU and on top of everyone's list. Some of you raised Cain when it was Huepel and not Tony Elliot. We (probably me too) would have melted down had UT hired Sam Pittman or even Odum as DC. Huepel is a good coach, not a perfect coach, but a very good one. He has good assistants. We WILL get better.And a few here were begging for Harsin to be OUR guy
I think most of it was due to the fact they were big favorites, and all anyone talked about last week in Gainesville was the bama game.Not really sure I'd have put it that way, but it did seem there was a whole lotta "this is what Florida needs to do to score" or "Florida should bring more up closer to the line of scrimmage" or something like that. I thought I may have just been being overly sensitive or critical.
Better yet, Heupel seems like a genuinely good dude that I have no trouble cheering for.And several that STILL think there is a perfect coach out there somewhere.

I’ve soured on QB’s “figuring it out.” I know people can list a dozen exceptions, but mostly, a dude is who he is on the field.At some point people need to accept Milton is a show pony - even Heup. Sometimes it just does not work out with guys. We had two HC's who lost their multimillion dollar jobs primarily because they refused to accept that they could not make JG better since he had all the tools - except the brain for the game. Some players and ex-players even fell for it. They practice so well and can talk the talk. Then, come game day they turn to jelly brains and cannot incorporate the coaching into how they play.
Fans/posters need to stop with the player's former coaches were idiots narrative. Both Milton and Hooker lost their jobs and were benched for good reasons. Hooker looks better in this scheme than he did at VaTech. But he's not the long term answer, he's just the best Heup has at this point in program history. We have to accept there are no perfect answers until Heup gets enough time to build his roster and develop it his way.
But he needs to stop using Milton. Enough.
