Muschamp: I plan on taking this program, really, where it hasn’t been before

Someone should tell we've already had a chubby coach that sucked and we've already gone winless.
Sorry coach...we've been here before. No thanks.
You know I am seriously tired of hearing him toot his own horn for that "most wins by any coaching staff in the first three years" crap. For starters, we play more games now than we did under those previous regimes. And when he loses against the taters in a couple of weeks, he'll also be tied with Lou Holtz for the most losses in the first four years. And nearly half of Lou's losses came in the first season.

Since we start next season with Coastal and East carolina, we're probably safe on the 0-21 streak. But after that, it's 8 striaght SEC games, with Kentucky, Florida, Vandy, and LSU away), followed by Wofford and Clemson. Out of that stretch we will have Vandy and Wofford (7-3 with one lose to Clemson), that we may be favorites over.
Assuming no staff or process changes, here are the givens:
1. We will lose some talent to NFL and Graduation, probably will offset that with recruits and a couple of step ups, leaving us with a net of about the same on talent and bodies.
2. If we continue with the same pattern on injuries that he had in Florida and here, since we are currently attributing them to luck of the draw, and there is no stated plan to change anything, that means we will lose most of the higher skilled players in the first half of the season, and our depth by about 2/3's of the season.
With that, we have a real chance at stealing a home game in the early part of the season, (Mizzu) but by the time we get through to game 8, Vandy will be seeing a weakened USC, and will likely take us in Nashville, wiping out the early win. Follow that with LSU and UGA, we'll need a better performance at Wofford that we had at App State, to avoid a 2-9 or 3-8 finish. Not sure where he is talking about taking us, but the trajectory sure doesn't look good.

The more I think about it, the more it sounds like there was a touch of "who do you people think you are" in his response where he said this and also said again how his staff has the most wins, blah blah blah. And based on it, I can see him not making any staff changes. But I guess we'll see. I might be a little over sensitive about the football program right now.

There's a reason he keeps reminding us that he won more games in his first three years. It's a Easter egg for when he goes 0-12 next year and his final press conference is just him repeating I told you I'd take this team where it has never been

Regarding number 2. Bad luck doesn't follow someone continually for nearly a decade. You've got a rah rah rah coach who couldn't think of a way to get better at the game during bowl practices without risking more injuries. It doesn't take much to connect the dots of why injuries follow cwm:s leadership

There was a tad of sarcasm in there, since when quizzed about injuries, WM stated it just happens and you cannot control injuries. He was implying that you can't hold bad luck against him, and that he wasn't going to do anything different. So I considered no change and that injuries will be just as bad as years 1-4, leading us to a 2-9 or 3-8 season with the exact same excuses and reasons.
How many players do you hear that they have not been 100% since the third or fourth game, but they are out there for every game. I thought the improved depth meant we would be constantly changing players and playing with Tempo, to make sure we kept fresh players on the field, I watched Jake Bentley play injured against Kentucky, and WM would not take him out. Net result - player hurt, game lost. Then after Scarnecchia out threw Lock the next week, we put a gimpy Bentley under center, and did not play Scarnecchia a meaningful snap. Net result - player hurt, game lost. I can go on with games this season with Hinsinki. He has been tattooed and did everything he could, but give the man a chance to recover from some of these muggings. We do not have a drop back pro-style Online, so adjust to help them protect our QB.
I have also noticed that when a player has gotten injured with a knee, groin, hammy, or ankle issue, the first words out of WM's mouth is "he's fine". I didn't give Belk a lot of credit due to his track record, but now looking at it in hindsight, It would appear the WM "effort" style of coaching, equates to playing hurt as part of the normal game. And they put a ton of pressure on these kids to show their toughness, and play hurt or even injured when the kid is trying to show how tough he is. It's really a fine line, and it appears that our coaches are pretty desperate to make thing happen.
My main point was that the issues with injuries are not just coordinator issues, and if we have the same head coach, we more than likely will be looking at 2-9 or 3-8, since a new OC can only go so far.
