I wonder what percentage of fired coaches are fired not because they themselves are bad at the job, but because their coordinators suck and they're too loyal to them to find new ones?

He wasn't fired but Bill freaking Snyder was kind of 'convinced' to retire at one point because of that. I'd think Les Miles might fit into this category too.

Charlie Strong's biggest mistake was not getting rid of Shawn Watson after a super lovely first year.

I don't know his reasons, but a lot of the fanbase was like "Oh, well David Ash (coming off a major concussion the prior season) got hurt, and no one could have seen that coming, so you can't hold that year against Watson." And then we got whupped by Notre Dame and scored like 3 points and everyone realized Shawn Watson sucked rear end, but we'd wasted a whole offseason. Strong's last year we tried to install a new offense.

So this year our offense sucks rear end, but everyone's like, "Well a lot of the offensive line is hurt, so it's not really Tim Beck's fault ..."

I honestly wish Aggy had blown us out like I expected them to, because leading most of the game and then choking it away in the most infuriating fashion possible was so much worse. I literally can't believe Muschamp bet his coaching career on Kurt Roper. Yes, we have some bad injuries on the offensive line right now and no more Deebo Samuel, but even with that, we're still better than the "game plans" this bum has drawn up.

You either get to brag about playing Florida State or you don't, pick one.

Bama is just playing the teams scheduled. As is clemson. But talking poo poo when almost every team in the top 5 has some clunkers is really dumb. Who knew FSU was going to fall apart? Ole Miss has been a quality game the last few years and it's not Bamas fault their coach decided to buy hookers and poo poo.

Cam Cameron had to go and firing Les was the only way for that to happen. And Les seemed to forget what offense was entirely

LSU's problem was hiring the DL coach instead of, like, Jeff Brohm

*clears throat*

acc teams are actually hella overrated because they are all presumed to be good and therefore feed off each other's perceived value when in fact they are not that good, so uh clemson gets a big SoS even though LSU and A&M oh poo poo I mean NCState and Louisville are not that good.

This was especially apparent towards the end of UGA/UT when Tennessee was starting fights and not even bothering to come off their blocks but holy poo poo, I think the players have completely quit on Butch. I guess he's pretty much a dead man walking.

Georgia Tech nearly pitched a shutout before giving up a TD in garbage time. I will continue refusing to believe the defense is good.

I will continue to reserve judgement on the defense until we see it against Miami. So far, we've only seen our defense in action against a crap-rear end Tennessee, an FCS team, and the two worst offenses in the conference.

I think Georgia sleepwalks through Vandy/Mizzou/SCAR/UK, beats UF/Tech close, drops to Auburn and loses a two score game to Bama in the SECCG, which hopefully puts them in a New Years Six Bowl. I'd be more than cool with that.

VT, GT, and Miami are a step above the rest in the Coastal. Assuming all of us will lose a lovely game it'll likely come down to if someone can go 2-0 against the others. If we all go 1-1 I could absolutely see a 6-2 three-way tie with some weird rule-breaking fuckery.

I think UNC is down 11 scholarship players and a couple more walk-ons right now. I believe last week they were down their entire starting OL at one point. Some teams get bit hard. Wasn't it UT last year that lost a ton?

Ah, one more!


UF's secondary is garbage. Missed tackles, missed assignments. LB corps is MIA. DLine gets to the QB and seems reasonably stout inside against the run, but can't set the edge and is prone to taking plays off.

This phase is still remarkably UF's strength.

Offense lacks rhythm or confidence. OL, a purported preseason strength, has been completely overmatched in each game this season. Playcalling is atrocious and poorly-designed--watching multiples screens with no leading blockers to the short side of the field will age anyone prematurely.

Malik Davis is an actual baller at RB and Perine looks pretty loving good too. Davis looks like an actual gamebreaker though.

Townsend is our MVP - raining punts from the heavens with great accuracy.

All-in-all the offense looked somewhat better against Vandy, but that is more a testament to the athletic ability of several guys than it is to any inkling of a cohesive gameplan.

I'm still chucking coal in the Fire Nuss Locomotive.

So our hopes now rest on the chubby, inbred shoulders of Georgia. The dream of a playoff that doesn't have Alabama and Ohio State is still in reach. Oklahoma did their part and Michigan, Penn State, and Wisconsin stand ready to do give theirs. Their road is easier, with more room for mistakes and errors. But, like Georgia may be all we have in the South.
