I don't know man. I'd take the eleven win seasons and five straight against Clemson in exchange for one 3 win season.
Fair enough, the point was one win does not make a coach. Muschamp has not yet proven that he is a coach that can win the state, let alone the east, or the division.

I gotcha. People like simple good news. Reality is messy. There was good and idiotic coaching in that game
Boom has in fact already proven he could win the state AND already won the SEC Eastern Division Championship...only that state was Florida and he won the SEC Eastern Division while there in his second year.
But you're right, he did inherit a terrible 3-9 team and a program on the decline who's coach walked away in the middle of the season with little promise during the exact same period of time that Clemson had become the single best program in the country winning two out of three National Titles and appearing in three of the last four title games...yet you somehow believe this shows Boom has not proven he can even win the state...with a radically inferior team for the first three years so far.
This right after he just got his team to beat #3 UGA in their house between the hedges on national TV....possibly the single biggest road upset in the program's history.
Gamecock fans are a trip

I always felt like Florida cut him loose too soon. He had a lot to clean up there. Given another year or two I think he would’ve had Florida back to winning big.
It is clear that a lot of people have no idea why Boom was brought in or why...out of nowhere...Urban Meyer suddenly decided he didn't want to coach football anymore...until he did again.
Florida was as dirty and crime ridden as any program EVER.

Evaluate Muschamp:
Before this season started: Had better record that Spurrier right? Through 3 years? Most wins in 3 years as SC head coach? Known as a great recruiter. But for me there was always a lingering doubt about his ability to win big games.
After going 1-3: Many many doubts about his ability to coach.
After 2 wins in a row: Ok, so maybe he can coach. Though I still saw some bonehead play calling. Though I fully admit Spurrier teams had situations with bonehead play calls too. These wins help remove some doubt but I still have questions about his ability to create and sustain a good program. Because he hasn't proven himself, there is the doubt. When we had Spurrier, knowing what he had done gave many hope. That's probably the biggest difference.
We aren't 1-5 or 2-4, so definitely trending upward. I don't think App St will be a pushover, but we should win. Vandy should be a W and UT we should win too, but who knows. A big question mark to me is the health of Hilinski. Not sure he plays all remaining games this year.

Pump all the sunshine you like, I prefer to be realistic. He hasn't proven that he can win and win consistently. I am all for giving him a few more years, but I we need to see major improvements in the offense, I would think maybe a new OC would prove that he is willing to do what it takes to win and win consistently.
How do you explain UNC and Mizzou? Even against UGA the offense went from OK to downright bad. IMO, they need to make a change, but I'm sure some people are happy just accepting mediocrity and are scared of change.
the offense hasnt been good this year, but it was very good last year in the stats and efficiency rankings until it imploded those last 6 quarters. mostly though i look at it as we're only 6 games in and theres a whole lot of season left to decide if we need to make any changes in the offseason because we're not going to make any during the season. the positive trending forward is we havent turned the ball over in 2 weeks and it might be looked at as baby steps to some but the offense hasnt put the defense in a bad position the past 2 weeks.
the offense didnt score in regulation after hilinski left the game but there were some positives beyond just not turning it over that gave us a good chance to win the game in regulation. converting a 3rd and 15, only one 3 and out during dak's 4 regulation drives, driving from our 25 to inside the uga 40 with a chance to go for it or kick the winning field goal. big throw for a 1st down to open up that drive and the ball to dawkins was almost hauled in despite the pass interference. we clean up these procedure penalties that had the offense playing from behind too often and i have faith this offense will help us win games.

Jake sure seemed to heavily favor whoever would give his dad the best job. Wasn't auburn leading before papa bentley came here. pretty sure dak only got offered as an athlete at clemson as well. gotta give props to champ for getting RH without reservation imo. If coaches weren't responsible for the performance of their players (including qbs), they wouldn't get paid what they do and probably wouldn't exist. for the same reasons, you have to give champ credit for the amazing defense the last two games, you also have to give him credit for the times that Jake has struggled.
I legitimately don't know if I pity or envy your ability to only see the most optimistic interpretation of events. The truth probably lies in the average of you and iron. that said if we keep RH healthy I think we go bowling which is all I think was reasonable to hope for from the team this year.
I would suggest you start by reading your own posts, it might just give you a clue of what I’m talking about.
But even if you did, it still wouldn’t sink in.
Carry on.
