So what you are saying is we shouldn't demand better? If that is the case why even bother having a program?
Our fanbase is absolutely childlike

This is a stupid reply. I never said that. You lack clarity in your argument. Of course we should demand better. But that doesn't mean you fire and hire every four years. There are other options. Also, in my opinion, CWM is not nearly as bad a coach as a lot of you think he is.
I agree about the WR's. They have been disappointing. Not sure what is going on there, because they all came in pretty highly rated. Agree with RB's, but I think ML will be a huge boost. Don't agree about QB. I think he was the product of a wreck of Offensive acumen. Completely baffled by how bad we were on O this year. I expect to see a vast improvement from him next year.
"every four years" That's a damn lie. Can you name the last coach who was fired in four years?
The problem with your argument is that Muschamp has had 8 years as a head coach. He was a special kind of bad at UF. At one of the best programs in the country, he had an abundance of 5-star talent at his fingertips.
Here's just a sample of the carnage:
UF Total Offense Ranking During Muschamp Era*
(****out of 120 total FBS teams****)
2011: #82
2012: #105
2013: #114
2014: #103
*Brett Pease (2012-13) and Kurt Roper (2014) both excelled as offensive coordinators at Boise and Duke, winning games against superior competition despite having lesser talent to work with. Given the abundance of athletes Florida had its disposal, there’s no reason the Gator offenses shouldn’t have been as a explosive as the Fun-and-Gun attacks of yesteryear.

Two (2) 3-5 SEC Records in 4 years. The first Gators coach to accomplish that since the 1950s.
2014: 4-8 - Gators 1st losing season since 1979.
He ended a 22-year bowl streak that dated back to 1991 when the Gators came off probation.
The first was a homecoming loss to Vanderbilt—their first loss to the Commodores since 1988 and first at home since 1945.
Lost to an FCS team, Georgia Southern, the first loss to a lower division team in the history of the program.
42–13 homecoming loss to Missouri
Muschamp lost to traditional rival Georgia for the three consecutive years
30-point loss to Florida State dropped his record against the Seminoles to 1–2.
DAMN! That's a terrible analytical summary of our position. True, but still terrible.
They're all childlike. Gamecock fans are no different.
If you doubt me, visit the DawgVent. They just played in the SECCG for the 3rd straight year, have a team that is 11-2 and ranked #5 in the nation, they've consistently beaten almost all of their biggest rivals lately, and in the last 3 years, they played in the Rose Bowl, the CFP title game, and the Sugar Bowl twice (2019 pending), yet you'd think the sky was falling with the absolute meltdown that is taking place among their online fanbase.
No one seems to be able to just enjoy the ride anymore. It's like all but 2-3 fanbases live somewhere between #7-10 on the misery index. Even Bama fans are bitter lately.
Firing every 3-4 years is becoming a thing of the past now. Now, if you don’t show them something in 2 years, you’re done. If they think they can get an upgrade and you’ve only been there 1-2 years, sorry but you’re gone. Look at how many teams pulled the plug on coaches in there 2nd year this year. That trend will grow next year. Big salaries come with even bigger expectations. Win now or get out of the way so someone that will win now can take your job.
All this Pontiac and Ferrari stuff... I think most Gamecock fans just want to be a nice reliable Honda Accord. Honestly. It's not asking much.
Thank you! I'm so sick of this BS being peddled like it's actually true. We haven't fired a head coach in 21 years.
Those added games you're referencing we're chump teams we pay to come and lose (except App State, who we paid to win).
Says the anonymous malcontent pecking away and whining on a little fan board.
We had Holtz and Spurrier. You don't fire Holtz and Spurrier. Social media had not been around enough before then for everyone to become an expert in college football coaching, recruiting, and AD assessment, or the howling and barking would have been going on back then as well.
And guess what...we're not firing a coach after four years now either.
Trying desperately, like many of us, trying desperately to find anything of substance.
We hold out hope.
Correct. We haven't fired a coach since 1998. And that firing was richly deserved.
It doesn't change the fact we paid to lose to them.
We didnt lose. We just wore ourselves out whipping yankees.
(Not an original thought but one I like)
I agree. I just don't think it is a sustainable strategy in the real world.
I see what you did there. I wish I had his salary! Also, I believe it's "Thanks, Will". You forgot the comma.
The real danger for our athletic dept is apathy. I see it coming. Nobody believes anymore and they're dropping college athletics to a more sane priority.
They can't help it, their life is so miserable they are only happy when they bust on someone.
Sure wish UF would have given him more time, that would have been a big plus.
let us know how that works for you! hell if we knew that acting like a crybaby was all we needed to be big time, we woulda done it years ago...from where i sit, yall's whining doesnt seem to be helping at all
How about your whining? Is that helping?
The OP isn’t saying that at all and you know it. You and a few negative posters are making the board a drag. We all wish you’d stop, or go root for another team!
Have you not paid attention to CWM's career? What makes you think keeping him around will lead to improvement? If you look at player development alone, it is obvious he is not as good a coach as you think he is.
The OP is for standing pat with a coach who is on his 6th offensive coordinator and for some reason has offensive linemen block themselves in a game. Yeah, I guess keeping him is the right play. When Eli Drinkwitz comes in next year with Missouri and blows our doors off, you can keep thinking how great keeping CWM was such a great idea. We are back on the level of UK and slightly better than Vandy. I hope you feel good about that.
