Well said, Helen. Perhaps it explains Meyers fixation with hitting the big play as an integral part of his offense. A swing for the fence mentality.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Helen Huntley Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2010 4:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [gatortalk] GatorSports.com Spurrier had 3 out of 11 seasons with 3 or 4 losses (27%) Meyer is having his third out of 6 seasons (50%) Meyer's record is more like the guy who either hits a home run or strikes out--50% of the time it's a one-loss season and 50% it's a 3 or more loss season. Spurrier teams most commonly had 2 losses in a season. 1 loss two times 95, 96 2 losses six times 90, 91, 93, 94, 97, 98 3 losses once 2000 4 losses twice 92, 99 (Of course, I could have copied something down wrong in my haste, so feel free to correct me.)

How frequently did each of them had 3+ loss seasons?
