Muschamp -- Jeremy is Watching

Muschamp -- Jeremy is Watching was created by Buc
This thread is for those of us that have suffered over the years with this Florida thingy. Sometimes we have to just grin and bear it. Our time to "grin".
Muschamp is in my mind a traitor, not because he took the job in Gainesville, but because he said many things about the University that put his "dumb a$$" on the map to progress to where he is now.
One thing that Will Mushcamp never learned was "patience". He also likes to think he can use "words" to move fault away from himself. Going to find out soon just where the "blame game" can get you.
Offense scored 20 points. Your defense gave up 26 points. Look in the mirror Muschamp. Georgia Southern did not throw the ball, they ran it at "your" defense.
Muschamp arrived in Gainesville and started running his operation like that former USC coach Kiffin did in Southern California. Both failed to read the chapter in the "coaches handbook" that says this is not 20 years ago, young men do not operate the same way this day and time. Like it or not, the game has changed and so have the personnel that play the game.
Urban Meyer knew it was time to leave. Muschamp thought he could walk on water, did not know the depth of the mess that "Liar" left. Now Muschamp is using some of Meyer's lines . . . . "not my fault".
Salt in your wounds from where I sit Will Muschamp. Jeremy is watching . . . .
Lengthy read below, will give some a better "inside" look at Will Muschamp playing dodge-a-ball. His predecessor was very good at it. Don't think that will apply in his case.
Hope this article turns out to be the sweet roll with your morning coffee.

DEFLECTING BLAME
Though Muschamp has made a habit in the past of taking accountability and putting pressure on his own shoulders following a loss, he did exactly opposite on Saturday – even if there were times in which he squeezed in similar phrasing.
After the game, Muschamp criticized Florida’s offense, which was led by a third-string quarterback in redshirt freshman Skyler Mornhinweg but nevertheless only generated 279 total yards and 20 points on the afternoon.
“You got to change the scoreboard offensively. You got to be able to change the scoreboard. We’ve just struggled scoring points offensively. It’s been a week-in, week-out occurrence. My job to get it fixed and it will get fixed,” he said.
“Very disappointed for our program, an embarrassment in this situation. We had our opportunities there, the kids kept playing hard. It’s very difficult for us to create explosive plays to get anything down the field. Just don’t ever do it.”
Asked to pinpoint the Gators’ offensive struggles, Muschamp explained that there was no one thing wrong with it but rather the entire side of the ball was failing as a whole. Should he somehow remain Florida’s coach after this season, Muschamp has certainly set up his offensive staff to take the fall.
“Where do you start? From a protection standpoint, the run game, being able to consistently run the ball, move the front. It’s been an occurrence really for us all season for the most part,” he said. “We just have a hard time in protection. We hit the play-action pass where the quarterback got his chin splattered when he threw the ball, too.
“It’s a combination of things. It’s just hard right now. It’s hard, as many moving parts as we’ve had, it’s difficult. It becomes infectious. It’s hard. When you give up 17 points, you hope you can score 17. So it’s hard right now. You can look at where we’ve rolled since about middle of the season to this point. That’s what’s happened to us.”
Nevermind that UF offense, indeed with a third-string signal caller and an incredibly banged up offensive line, managed to generate 20 points while the team’s defense coughed up 26 to Georgia Southern via 429 yards of total offense.
The Eagles did not complete a single pass in the game yet still outgained the Gators by 150 yards on the afternoon. Muschamp explained why Florida’s defense failed but still managed to circle things back to the offense.
“Defensively when you stop teams like this, you get them feeling uncomfortable about what they’re doing. You got to get them out of their game of what they do, and we just never could do it in a sense to put the pressure where they feel like they’ve got to do some different things offensively,” he said.
“We’re going to get it fixed. We just got to keep working at what we’re doing. We’re just struggling offensively and it’s infected our entire team right now. That’s the struggle we’ve got.”

Pat Dooley is a dyed in the wool gator. Couple of folks that both of us know agree that the spin is on.
Brent Pease was the offensive coordinator and close friend of Chris Petersen, head coach at Boise State. We remember them right? It was suggested to Pease that he should think twice about taking the job with the gators. Muschamp already had problems with Charlie Weis as offensive coordinator, was said that there was not stability at the top. This does not fall on Pease, what he inherited was left over gator tail.
Pease will be the first to fall. That will not end the problems, just the beginning.
I am close with several high school football forecasters in the State of Florida, and everyone says this is more than Muschamp can handle. Seems the concensus is Muschamp cannot handle more than one job at a time. He is supposedly a defensive specialist. Built that reputation at Texas, a team that until recently got every athlete they wanted, just like Saban and Alabama.
Sometimes fans squirm when talking about their football coaches. If the fans are squimish, then you are probably not cut out for the "entire game of football".
Florida fans are not squimish at this point. What does it take to get coaches/instructors attention? Usually watching a teams results and how those results occurred, and asking the difficult question(s). Why is this happening?
Anyone on this board that thinks Georgia kicking Florida's a$$ has not caused problems . . . . think back a short time when most on this board were on their knees begging for a win over the gators. Truth.
Beginning to think that Urban Meyer actually helped us . . . . that requires deep thought, or Football 101.
Florida vs Florida State. Muschamp, Foley, you better come to play. FSU likes hanging "Spurrier" type numbers up on the scoreboard. The game this year will "swing" several young players to Tallahassee. gators falling the same way the volunteers did and it is a "long way back". Vanderbilt beat Tennessee and Georgia Southern beat Florida. From where I sit, it is a beautiful thingy.

It has been requested that some of us should ease up Wartdawg, have no intentions of doing that. That is the way it has been done for far too long. Leads to one thing, hope. Nothing wrong with hope, but there comes a time when "everyone" has to answer the bell.
I remember well averagedawg having to go through the floods in Nashville some years back and the "crap" that he was encountering by the Tennessee faithful when they were all that. That was when we were getting the ever loving spit kicked out of us and many here were as I said before, on their knees looking for change.
Since that time, there has been change, not enough but that time will come. Vandy whips Tennessee, Florida loses a basketful of games, games against UGA and folks like the ones that kicked their butts in the Swamp yesterday.
This old fart appreciates good football, played with a purpose, and that purpose comes down to understanding the game. I am afraid that too many don't understand that statement. I have problems with coaches like Muschamp (and others) that choose to excuse themselves and lay fault elsewhere.
I sincerely hope that the gators never beat us again, I am however a realist . . . . they might win another game in 10 or so years . . . .
I choose to use the word that you and sadlerdawg have used for the most part, and a couple of other folks have used on this board, and sincerely meant it . . . . EXCUSES. Really believe that some of the newer posters here are on board with play football not use the EXCUSE word. That is where Mushchamp is at this point in time. None of us have ever wanted to be fired or "waved" but college and pro football is big business, no room for what . . . . Wartdawg's/sadlerdawg's word.
