I think 8-4 will do it and I think y'all can get there with this schedule. I think the most important game is the Tennessee game. You should start 3-1 and go to what should be a jacked Neyland stadium. Y'all should beat them but if they upset you it could be tough to right the ship with LSU the next week. That could be 3 tough losses in a row and then there's no telling what will happen with the team's psyche after how last year ended.

eh, doubt it. Depends on how the team looks (i.e., if they get blown out in some losses and look like the DGAF)

I've maintained 9-3 for this team. Either way, I do think the 2014 unit will look much, much better.

It'll be interesting, because TENN has always been the league opener and we've got @Bama, @UK before hand.

I like what Jones is doing at UT, and Neyland certainly is an interesting, but I'm not that horribly worried about that game. I definitely understand your point, though.

We do need to split LSU/MO. Thankfully both are at home at least.


All in all, I'm just ready for this new year to start

8-4 will not save his job if he loses to UG and the offense isn't clicking. Another year of pathetic offense and he's gone and every UF fan will be happy the bulldog experiment is over.

Is offense that big of a deal to y'all? If the offense is playing well and y'all go 8-4 and lose to Georgia does he keep his job? If he goes 8-4 and the offense struggles but he beats UGA, then what?

Of course it's a big deal. We are used to high power offenses. It's a huge deal. It's horrible to watch and fans want excitement and to be entertained.

I think losing to UG and not winning the East will end the Bulldog's Gator career. If he loses to UG and wins the East then he stays. He can't go 0-4 against UG. It won't be tolerated. That would mean the soonest he could even up the series would be 20 fricking 18. That's unacceptable.

I guess I'm just a bottom line guy. If Georgia is winning ball games, I don't give a shite if they are winning 3-0.

You kind of contradict yourself here. Which is it?

This is easy to say when that's not happening for UG over the course of 4 years like it has for UF.

I said that the only way he stays AND loses to UG is to win the East.

He can't lose to UG and be 8-4.

He needs to have 9 wins going into the bowl game to be completely safe IMO.

8 wins and a much improved O is likely good enough.

8 wins or less and offense looks bad again, he gone.

This is about right. Although the parameters I would put down is for FSU.

Getting blown out by FSU at the end of t--

Let me just put it this way: There are tons of ways he can be fired.

He just needs to have a solid offense and swing at least one big game to potentially keep his job.

But if he loses one by a massive amount or loses to another team that has no business beating us (no matter what part of the year) he'll be out and someone else will probably take charge immediately.

Honestly, I was surprised he was kept around after last year.

8 wins and beats UG with a nice looking ofense.

10 wins, wins the east, loses to UG he is safe.

Less then 10 wins, no east title, loses to UG, bad offense again. He gone.

He'll prob get another year with 8-4 unless those 4 losses are FSU, UGA, UT, and Kentucky

He is one year removed from 11-1 and a BCS bowl. Its funny how folks forget. This year will make everybody STFU and give credit to a coach that we are damn lucky to have.

11-1 or 12-0 and the ride gets downhill.

That's pretty optimistic for this year. Obviously the defense should be world class. However, Driskel has yet another OC to learn the offense from. While he may be an ideal fit to run Roper's offense, he's proven to be bit injury prone and y'all have mostly nothing behind him except a true freshman. Add to that a receiveing corp that is lackluster at best and an offensive line that has depth issues of it's own. I just don't see a double digit win season this year.

WR - the position should be much better this year - no way to tell if they are "lackluster" this year.
OL - There aren't any injuries at this time so depth is only an issue if you are referring to the experience of the backups. Not many teams do well losing OL to injuries. We lost three OTs last year to injury.
QB - Jeff's injuries have been bad luck. Perhaps we'll be lucky this year and not have someone break his leg.

Can only go up from last year. Y'all know much better than I what you have in the pipeline. Will be interesting to watch the transition from Joker to Leak.

Could not agree more here. You could have the best qb and rb's in the nation but they can't do anything without a competent o-line. And I was referring to the backups.

He has been snake-bit. Using his wheels in Roper's offense is going to open the offense up for sure but it also opens him up for injury more. He's just not built like a tank a la Tebow.

I'm thinking the offense is going to be the key point here. Fans have gone about to our limit seeing little to no production from our offense, that has to turn around. If major steps are made on offense but we still go 8-4, I think he'll be back next year.

Jeff - 6'4" and 235 I do believe I saw recently
Tim - 6'3" and 240 in 2008

Pretty close. Jeff won't take on LBs and S head first though...hopefully
