I would also like to see what Roper could do with the same personnel butthat would make the 3rd HC with no previous HC experience out of thelast 4 hired.Having said that though I watched two games yesterday in which all 4teams are future Gators foes and honestly don't have much confidence wecan beat any of the 4.

I would be OK with Roper taking over as HC. Last time we had anoffensive head coach it worked out fairly well.Muschamp IS a good DC. He needs to stay out of the offense just asSOS learned to stay out of the defense. That's when SOS started totruly win and dominate.

Muschamp's problem is he thinks he needs to be fully involved ineverything. I disagree with that... He needs to be involved but notmicromanaging. We have had three offensive coordinators-- were theyall horrible? All terrible? Are we to believe we hired people whosucked at their jobs or is there some common element that may beholding them back?

NCAAF Florida AD to reevaluate after season - ESPN

Sure, everyone says it’s a bad idea NOW to fire a coach in the middleof the season, but IF we lose to UT the cries from upset Gator fansare going to be deafening and I think Muschamp’s inevitible firingwould become a huge distraction. IF we lose to UT I’d rather see Foleycut the Muschamp cord and see what Roper can do as interim, he WASsupposed to be a hot head coaching prospect if the UF offense turnedaround this season. I hate coaching changes but to quote Foley, whathas to be done eventually must be done now.

Clearly Foley will be looking but I don’tthink he will make it public like he did with Zook. I don’t thinkthere is another Urban Meyer lurking in the shadows.I personally believe Mushchamp’s biggest mistake was Durkin as DC. Iam thinking that Alabama only crystalized the problem that was showingup against Kentucky. The D almost seemed to regress. If Muschampsurvives the year, he needs to go out and get a good experienced DC.I think Roper is an OK hire. I would have Roper spend some timestudying Auburn and Auburn’s practice behavior. We probably will notsee the Roper offense until about Georgia, however. At this point,the offense is not able to play very fast. It will take about 5-6games to start hitting on all cylinders.

    I agree about Roper, Zeb. However, I think back to how brilliantly
    Driskel fought in that A&M game a few years back—the kid had it.
    It seems that after the broken leg all is lost. I don’t know if he
    just lost his confidence or he feels the burden of carrying the
    offense and just can’t handle it. I’d get a good hypnotist
    involved and if that doesn’t give him the eye of the tiger back,
    we need to move on at QB.

    I'm very happy with the Roper hire.
    I don't think Driskel fits his offense, however, and year 2 under
    Durkin is shaping up like a donut.

            Does it not scare the crap out of you that he says "we

            that was bad?  It bothers me immensely!  I keep hoping
            that he's pointing to the D more, because the crappy O
            play is the elephant standing in the room.  I would feel
            better if he would call out the O to!  The crappy
            offensive play is the reason the D has been so bad in the
            2nd half. 4 offensive plays in a quarter is not going to
            net you good defensive stats.  I'm trying to have faith
            that this coaching staff can fix these errors, but am
            having a hard time with what Coach is saying. Are any of
            you feeling this way too?

                  Florida AD to reevaluate after season

                Florida Gators
                <http://m.espn.go.com/ncf/clubhouse?teamId=57> coach
                Will Muschamp, coming off a record-setting loss to No.
                3 Alabama, will be judged on his program's entire body
                of work this season, athletic director Jeremy Foley said.
                The Florida defense has given up 1,095 yards in the
                last two games, including a school-record 645 yards in
                a 42-21 loss to the Crimson Tide last week.
                *Image removed by sender. Florida's Will Muschamp*
                *Jeff Barlis/ESPN.com <http://espn.com/>**Will
                Muschamp is 2-8 in this last 10 games as coach of the
                Florida Gators. *
                Despite the struggles, however, Foley said he's
                sticking by his coach but will reevaluate everything
                after the season.
                "You never judge or evaluate a program based on one
                game or one season," Foley told "Open Mike" on 790 The
                Game in Orlando. "That's just not how we do things
                here. We're going to evaluate where we're headed --
                where the players are, how is recruiting going, what
                type of staff we have -- (and) are we better?
                "That's going to be plain for all of us to see, but
                it's also going to be played out over the course of 11
                games and we'll see where we are when we get to the
                end of the season."
                The Gators have won only two of their last 10 games
                dating to last season -- including a 1-6 mark vs. SEC
                teams. The Gators (2-1, 1-1 SEC) have a bye this week
                before visiting Tennessee on Oct. 4.
                Asked about the team's performance, Muschamp was
                pretty blunt during Wednesday's SEC coaches
                teleconference.
                "We stunk on defense," Muschamp said. "I'm extremely
                disappointed two games in a row of giving up the big
                plays we've given up defensively. We've got to get
                some things tied together better on the back end.
                That's the bottom line. ...
                "The mistakes we've made in some situations back there
                are inexcusable."
