This is what happens when the coach kicks out half the team to look tough and convince people not connected to the program that he's fixing intangibles somehow

The commentators take on that game was strange. You take two teams with six wins between them last season, have them play a fun, triple overtime game, and then declare them both vastly improved based on that.

It was a fun game and I'll agree that Kentucky will win more than two this season, but they were talking up Florida like they'll be contenders this year.

Florida is horrible. Nothing has changed. Driskel makes the wrong reads, rolls into the fetal position under pressure, and cannot physically complete a pass further than 7 yards.

We run design routes 1-yard shorter than the sticks on 3rd down consistently.

Demarcus Robinson is a goddamned sexual tyrannosaurus, and the lone bright spot on our team.

We dropped like 5 interceptions, and rolled up a poo poo ton of yardage between the 20s. Redzone playcalling was atrocious.

I mentioned before the season that I wouldn't be surprised if we won 15, or won 5. I think we will maybe win 5 games.

They were better than that last year and will be better than that this year probably.

Attendance is okay. They're not selling out every game anymore but the program still makes lots of money and more or less keeps the whole athletic department afloat by itself.

They more or less cannot afford to fire him because of his buyout. And I don't even know if I want that. He's frustrating but he's still if not the best coach in school history certainly in the discussion (the other options would be Fry and Evashevski; his best seasons are better than Fry's unless you ignore record and AP rankings and just focus on making the Rose Bowl, and Evy left coaching early to be the worst AD in school history). Like I said, this isn't even a sign of the program in decline, it's something that's always happened. They lost to Iowa State in a season where they went undefeated in conference play and went to a BCS Bowl. They lost to Northwestern in a season where they won the Orange Bowl (a season where they also almost lost to Indiana and Northern Iowa).
