The End of an Era

Well, the Florida/LSU game is over and I'm finally over my disgust. Ok, I'm not. But I have to get this off my chest. I'm pissed. But surprisingly, not at Coach Zook. I'm pissed at Jeremy Foley, the nutjob A.D. that managed to hire someone who can't seem to reap success out of a Heisman quarterback and who can't seem to convert NFL special teams experience into college special teams success. And Jeremy Foley is responsible for single handedly bringing a great program to its knees. Miami was able to come in with a first year coach and win. Why can't we? The answer is simple. Jeremy Foley went with someone he thought would have crowd appeal because he had former ties with the Gators. So what if he's never been a head coach. So what if Spurrier didn't have faith in him when he was here as an assistant coach!

Jeremy Foley should have made Gruden an offer that would have been too good to pass up. But he didn't. He saved money and went with an untested figurehead that has no offensive appreciation and an offensive coordinator that thinks a "trick play" is throwing deep on 3rd and inches. Ugh. We have a team full of talent that has no confidence and that responsibility lies with the coaching staff. Ugh. Double ugh. I'm gonna hit the showers.
