I believe that could true however if he were to retire it would agitate me to no end if you know who was promoted. Just like Austin Powers I believe Coach Meyer has lost his mojo. Charlie

Did we effectively lose Coach Meyer last season? Did he indeed really come back to coach or has he become window dressing? I'm really wondering?

I told my daughter last night that losing Dan Mullen was only part of the problem. I am just now realizing just how much Tebow held the offense together last season without Mullen. Throw in losing Charlie Strong this year, who was IMHO the best DC in the country, and we now have a team with no identity. I think part of the stress Meyer was feeling at the end of last season was that he could see this coming. He knew Tebow WAS the heart of the offense and it was going to fall apart when he left. We need another "hero" or "champion".

I agree with you Mary. I got watch the all of the game this time online but had to pause since the performance was nauseating. At one point, I did think aloud saying that SOS deserves to be there in Atlanta and not us (...I would have surely celebrated if we had made it to the SECCG though!). Losing Charlie Strong is also something that is not being highlighted much because of the bigger problem of the offensive mishap that we have run into. So, inexperience in coaching and not having the FULL BLOWN version of Coach Meyer is definitely the biggest factor this season, IMO. -BadMan On Sun, Nov 14, 2010 at 8:47 AM, Mary Weigly < <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]> wrote: As I watch Coach Meyer on the sideline, he looks like he can't believe what he is seeing... like he doesn't get why the team can't handle the simplest things -- like know who to block, for example. So, I wonder: does he really know this team? Did all the months off from January through August, combined with delegating so much of his coaching duties, distance him from his players? I think the answer is "yes." I think that by stepping back from micromanaging, he lost his "feel" for the team - who he can count on to perform, who needs what kind of coaching, etc. Also, he's dealing with new coaches. What I see, in the sideline shots of Coach Meyer, is someone who can't believe what he's seeing AND doesn't know what the hell he can do to cure it. Lou Holtz pegged it during the halftime segment; he said there aren't enough adjustments that can be made at halftime to cure the problems we have, when guys don't know who to block, where to be, and how to tackle (okay, I made that last one up :-)). It will be interesting to see what happens with our coaching in the off season. ATM, there isn't enough alcohol to dull the pain I feel. UGH ...in all kinds of weather, Gators.
