I know Dooley is just the sports editor at the hometown paper and
NOT an official spokesperson for the athletic department, but
telling fans to “simmer down” right now is not going over well, not
at all. And there’s no reason to wait any longer, per 2004 Jeremy
Foley. This is another big mistake, IMO.

@pat_dooley: Try to enjoy the bye week. There will be no news next
two weeks coming out of the UAA. So you can simmer down. For now.

Before the season, there were a lot of people who thought Will
Muschamp had to beat his alma mater to save his job.
But after what we witnessed Saturday night, I'm not sure the
Georgia game will matter.
Let's put it this way — after Missouri's 42-13 thrashing of
Florida, the Georgia Southern game from last year doesn't seem
so bad.
The smell of this performance is something the Gator fans in
attendance won't be able to get out of their clothes for awhile.
It was a rotten milk and burnt hair poured into a used diaper
and left in the sun for a month.
The facts are simple — Florida has lost 10 of its last 13 games,
four out of it's last five SEC home games and has been
dreadfully dull in doing so. Losing is never fun, but it's rare
that it is this numbingly miserable.
Florida has been shut out in the first half of two of its last
three games. On Saturday night, the Gators were dumpster-fire
awful in two phases of the game (offense and special teams).
Florida lost to a team that was shut out at home last week,
gained 20 yards in the second half Saturday night and had only
seven first downs on the night. Florida turned it over six times
to a team that came into the game with zero turnovers gained in
SEC games.
Muschamp's insistence on sticking with Jeff Driskel has
backfired so many times he's covered in gunpowder. Saturday
night was the worst yet. I'm not saying Treon Harris is the
answer after leading Florida to a pair of scores after the game
had been decided.
I just know Driskel is not the answer and his performance over
the last four games should eliminate him from consideration at
the most important position on the team.
“The offense was just abysmal,” Muschamp said. “We've got to
narrow it down to things we do well and it's not much. So figure
it out.”
Wait. Weren't we told this offense had the most talent Muschamp
has had at Florida before the season? And that Kurt Roper was
going to be the answer for an offense that had been anemic for
three years?
Here's what Florida is now that it wasn't under Brent Pease and
Charlie Weis — a turnover machine.
Muschamp talked after the game about the turnovers, about how
the blame falls on his shoulders and then proceeded to blame his
players for their mistakes.
And there is no question that there has been a lot of
underachieving by the players on this football team. But players
are a reflection of their coaches.
Muschamp can blame Austin Hardin for not booting the opening
kickoff in the right area of the field, but I recall seeing 10
players in blue jerseys running down the field and not laying a
hand on Marcus Murphy.
He can blame the offensive line and his starting tailback but
the starting quarterback was involved in four of the six UF
turnovers.
Last week's loss could be attributed to bad luck. This was bad
football.
I don't know if he can survive what has transpired over the last
month starting with the debacle in Alabama. There isn't a person
outside the football building who believes this can be turned
around. And that means there will be three bad seasons in four
tries for Muschamp.
That's unacceptable at Florida. Heck, it's unacceptable at South
Florida.
Muschamp said he's not going to worry about things he can't
control, such as his job security and apparently his
quarterback's penchant for giving the ball to the other team.
The chants of “Fire Muschamp!” were loud, the boos were
plentiful and the stands emptied early.
The fan base has has enough. The ones who were ready to dump
Muschamp after last season are screaming “I-told-you-so” with
the decibel level rivaling that of sticking your head in a jet
engine. Which would be less painful.
The ones who have stuck behind him are easing their way out of
the back door of the room now that Muschamp is only one game
over .500 in SEC games.
It's going to be an ugly bye week in the Gator Nation.
