The coaching was good enough to win!

[KingtUT]

While I admit that the coaches have plenty of room for improvement, they did a good enough job to get the W. At some point players have to make the plays they're brought here to make. As good as John Kelly played, he has to make that catch for the go ahead TD. Josh palmer also had a pass go right through his hands for a TD. Abernathy has to stay deeper than the deepest, its just that simple, you know it, I know it, and he knows it. The FG kickers have to make some FG's. Like I said, the coaches have plenty of room for improvement but lets not act like they didn't put the players in position to win the game multiple times.

Florida is trash and they were missing key players. Losing this game, even on the road, was a giant failure. Of course we were in position to win. Why was Florida in position to win?

The coaching should have been good enough to dominate that game.

I wont argue against the notion that we shouldn't have been in that close of a game with them, im just saying...looking at the big picture which is W & L's, the coaches did enough to get the W. Could they have done more....absolutely.

Its not like this came down to won lucky chance at winning, we had chance after chance to put points on the board and we didn't do it.

Being good vs being competent are two different things. Competence was not displayed on Saturday.

On the flipside, the coaching was also bad enough to lose. Coaching alone didn't cost us the game, but it didn't win us the game nor did it overcome the periodic lack of execution of the players.

This is exactly right!

Wish I had his money

 

[omghulkhands]

The coaching should have been good enough to dominate that game.

We did dominate the game....and still lost. That is why most are so sour about it.

 

[BigO95]

Coach Scott is a smart feller, he will get it right.
Dormady will get better, it's only his third start.

Florida still has a very good defense and we basically did whatever we wanted to it.

 

[volsportsfan]

I still support Butch, but there are holes in his game. If he doesn't get em fixed he will soon be gone. Just the way it is.

FL was a very winnable game. Football is all about coaching. We hired a guy who required some on the job training and we are having to go through his growing pains. Take that for what it's worth.

Every player on the team would agree with this statement.

to not be successful at his job? yeah me too.

Many would argue we've dominated the last 4 years and only won once. That's what we are tired of. It's not just this game that is pissing people off.

I agree to a point, but to get up at the presser and say that your 4/5* back up QB was "too cold" to take a snap from under center and hand it to your starting RB is an absolute joke. I agree the players made many mistakes, the I think that the coaches made just as many. Butch also said that the 1st play QD had at the goal line was a designed run. The problem with this is when they lined up they were in the shotgun formation turning a 1 yd run into a 5 yd run. That is coaching, I realize that QD audibled into a pass because of a blitz package that UF had set up, but I go back to the formation. No coach in their right mind lines up in shotgun from the 1yd line and tries to run the ball. I don't believe that the original call was ever a run, I think it was a pass all the way, thus making the shotgun formation make much more sense. Either way you look at the play it was "butched" from the start.

Coaching flaw number 2, you are telling me that JG cannot take a snap from under center unless he is warm??? that is total bs and everyone knows it, the 1st and 1 didn't work, and on 2nd and 1 you come our again in shotgun formation with JG, again it was never gonna be a run. The penalty was on the OL, they should have called a timeout and got QD back in the game, instead throw JG out there get a penalty and now you're 3rd and goal from the 6 and are obviously in a passing situation. UF knew it and got the pick.

The moral of this story is, when you are 1st and goal from the 1 you have to come away with at WORST 3 points.

 

[280vol]

No if they had done a good job we would have been up comfortably at the end.

 

[VOL 4 Life 83]

Coaching should have run the ball inside the 5 yard line. Coaching should have been in prevent mode with 9 seconds on the clock to avoid a hail mary. Coaching should have called a time-out when Dormady came out of the game for one play instead of putting in a cold QB to run a crucial play at the goal line.

 

[CountVolcula]

These players only have 4 years

Butch has had 5. He still hasn't improved

If Butch was a redshirt QB in his Senior year, still making errors on judgement that cost critical games, he would be benched for a better option

I think this is a true statement too.

 

[OriginalCoach]

Good enough isn't enough. Room for improvement? Been two years since the 1 yd line or less blunder against OU and what improvement in game time coaching was displayed Saturday? It will always be on the players to make plays. Coaches should be held to same standard.

Oh boy, this should get good opcorn:

Pete Carroll agrees!

OTOH....QB should have been under center....on that I whole heartedly agree.
