2004......Lou's last year:
- Skip being groomed for head coach........Spurrier Jr being groomed (apparently leading meetings/recruiting etc)
- Recruiting JUCOS heavily
- AD convincing Lou to stay a couple more years......Rumor that Spurrier was convinced to stay by Ray last season....all acounts it seems very true
- Recruiting WAY down....with no Major five stars or upper level four starts even sniffing our program right now
- NO QB.....again
- No Defense
- Strength and conditioning way down
- Body language of both on the sidelines Lou and Spurrier......you could see it in their press conferences and on the sidelines
- Both are/were old and did not need to coach.....there is no fear of losing their jobs
- Not firing staff that needed to be fired because of personal relationships
- No hiring Chavous or Muschamp was a huge mistake in my opinion and Lou did the same in passing over numerous candidates hoping that Skip would take over
