growl, your post brings back memories of how folks change in a short amount of time.
The gator supporters were big time down in the face at the end of last season. Started out that way in 2012, they were sure that UGA was going to kick them in JAX. It was difficult getting the gator faithful to do much more than grumble and want Muschamp to leave and go back to Texas.
Did not help that he played football at UGA. The line started out something like this . . . . Muschamp was not good enough to play for the gators, therefore he played for a lesser talent, Georgia. People down here were ready to break out the tar and feathers. They did not like his ranting and raving, not comfortable with his piss and vinegar attitude.
Turn the page, none of that is heard in Florida. Now the ones that wanted to send him packing are once again the Florida faithful. Folks down here expect to win titles, not a lot different than the folks in Alabama.
Jeremy Foley would have turned Muschamp out to pasture if he did not get the football program off and running, not allowing him 11 1/2 years to do so, Foley demanded results right now. Amazing what can be accomplished when there is pressure to make changes and make changes that give meaningful results.
You don't hear Saban talking about winning the SEC West. When he speaks publicly or in private to potential recruits, he talks about the Crystal.
If we can win in JAX, it would have a profound effect not only in Athens, it would drive the gator faithful back to the war path. Lose in JAX, might be a good time for McGarity to call a press conference.
Muschamp/Florida win in JAX, Mark Richt will never be able to get the UGA faithful to back him, regardless of the time he is allowed to stay.
It was said on this board before the season started that if Mark Richt could not lead this group of athletes with our schedule at least to Atlanta . . . . he will find out just how hot a seat can get. I believe that.
