Proof that Shane is a Complete Coach

Don't disagree that we sucked. The coach sucked, and deserved to be fired.
I just bristle at the notion of throwing out "two win season" without a clarifier. That was in no way a regular season or schedule.
For sure. I just can't help to think we would have ended up firing him mid season anyway, then doing something stupid like losing to Wofford. So I'm kind of glad for the all SEC schedule. Potentially saved us from a massively embarrassing episode. At least we can explain that one like everyone else explains failures during 2020...it was COVID!!
He couldn’t have hired Lincoln, period. Stoops had his “discussion” with LR immediately on his return and Riley took his name out of the hat. The Sooner site had several articles on it.
And several successful coaches have struggled at UF since UM left…..the expectations of the fan base and the Bull Gators is ridiculous.
This is why I have always felt the SC job was a very attractive one - expectations are not ridiculously outrageous.
UF is very big and very wealthy and Florida is talent rich. Gator expectations are where they should be.
I have to admit that I was frustrated that Beamer made that hire because of the NFL stats but once I heard his first presser, I was sold. You can tell how genuine, smart, and QB friendly he was from that presser. Even listening to how Shaw and Alshon endorsed him, gave me hope too. The positive reports from practice was refreshing and always thought if we could get someone in here that understand how to get his playmakers the ball then we’ll be a force.
Mack Brown is in year 5 with a more talented roster than ours. I don’t believe UNC was better than us but any team can be beaten on any given night.
Only two coaches consistently won at UF and they’re some of the best coaches of all time.
It really doesn’t matter what I said though. The team composite show that UNC is a more talented team, which is to be expected since one coach was there longer than the other.
They were better than us then. Now that the OL is settling and Mario is getting touches I think we would take them if we played right now.
Me too. That’s why I wished we schedule them game 2 and not 1. It’s hard to know what you have without playing a real game
two data points is all you have in the time Beamer has been here? You missed a lot of data.
I disagree. Our special teams should keep doing what they do best, keep the defense guessing and winning games for us. Of course we should try things like this. Makes no sense it was a good call no one expected and it was wide open.
Agreed, the “Brilliant” and “Monster”accolades are premature. The criticisms to me are even more premature. Sure, it’s fine to judge a play call here and there. As far as hires go, we need to see more before we can actually make an accurate assessment. Dabo went through several coordinators and built up recruiting over several years, all while we were whipping him 5 years in a row. I’m not saying we wait forever but rushing to scrap everything would only put us back at this point. Don’t see a great coach out there we could steal at this point. I realize most of us are not advocating starting over, but if you are, I believe you are totally wrong.
Back in August I read lots of posts stating we were better. Didn't keep track of the posters.
