re: Hope is a dangerous thing

I agree about that. But what gave me hope was that with all the injuries we had we only lost to UGA by 3. We only lost to USC by 5. We held LSU to 17 and lost by 11. We lost to a Vandy team that beat UGA. And in a small part of my mind I knew that if we didn't have those injuries we cover the UGA 3 the USC 3 and probably the LSU 11 and we definitely don't lose to GA Southern.

I think a lot of those teams just played us conservatively, to be honest, thinking that we couldn't produce a last minute drive to win the games. They knew we'd just run out the clock until the end and beat us coaching, flat out.

I wasn't with Muschamp after the loss to Louisville (but that, even in hindsight, was a bit premature) because I felt like he didn't have what it takes to be an HC.

The only way he really wins is if he has better talent, and in the SEC you need to figure out other ways -- intelligence, deception, all forms of strategy.

And Muschamp doesn't seem to possess that. Guys with much less talent seem to have no problem beating us, and I can't think that's anything more than just pisspoor coaching.
