re: Muschamp gone per Andy Staples

There was literally nothing wrong with how he approached the sideline. He's a passionate guy that the players loved. Bottom line is he didn't get the results in the W/L column. He has a great personality and love his fire.

I'm not getting sucked further into this eulogy type "he was a good guy" trope.

frick him, good riddance.

I'm happy that we're getting a new coach, but I hope Muschamp does well wherever he goes.

Bob stoops! Number one qualification: Won NC and has UF ties! Other than Spurrier and Meyer no one can say that.

Also, a defensive coach who has fielded quality offenses and multiple award winning QBs. Can put points on the board. Only had 3 seasons with less than 10 wins (8, 7, 8). Never missed a bowl game, good recruiter.

Send a blank check and see what happens.

Durkin or Roper would be my guess.

Huh? Muschamp was an enraged lunatic on the sidelines. The guy was totally out of control, ready to burst a gasket. I think his irrational behavior made our players play tight at times, afraid to make mistakes. I keep hearing people say how much of a good guy he is but nothing from his antics say so?

The game that made me know I wanted Muschamp gone was the Sugar Bowl game against Louisville. Our players were totally out of control, prancing around like peacocks, totally embarrassing. We've been pathetic ever since.

I've had run-ins with him and his staff over the years as have dozens of my former students, several having worked a lot with him while they were attached to the UAA. All of us liked dealing with him and the other coaches. As I've mentioned before, Muschamp used to pop up over in my building from time to time just to say hello and chat up grad students slaving away during reading days/exam week. He was pretty open with his time around campus and Gainesville when he wasn't working. That is why the serious money and Foley had such a hard time letting him go this year; like damned near everyone else who ever had to work with him in Gainesville, they liked him a lot.

I get the impression that no amount of evidence to the contrary will sway you from your carefully considered opinion made from sporadic scenes from the sidelines, but for the rest here who may be on the fence, there are my two cents.

He did need to go, maybe for him as much as us. This hole was just getting deeper. But he is damn sure a good guy.

Thank God there's a few people with sense on here. Our team looked unbelievably stupid, thuggish and somehow managed to lose while doing so. The guy was insane and was a laughing stock to the rest of the SEC after his one good year -- where we shite the bed against a Louisville team we outclassed in every facet of the game.

The rest of the conference wants us to keep him, saying "keep him forever" because he's just a flat out miserable failure at Florida, on, around and off the field. If wanting a cool, level-headed coach with sensible reactions makes me soft, I'll go ahead and be soft.

Spurrier threw tantrums, but they were funny. Muschamp throws tantrums and you wonder if he's on his way to a stroke.

While I dislike the trashtalking and dumb penalties this team racks up, this^ is pretty subjective. If he had won, I doubt it would be much of an issue.

---

That's the whole frickin' point is that he flat out doesn't win.

He loses, and our players go around acting like they're a hot item looking retarded losing to teams like Georgia Southern and it hasn't changed.

Winning, losing, they have an unwarranted swagger.

Trashtalking while you're ahead is one thing, and stupid if it causes penalties.

Trashtalking when you're losing is a whole level of uncontrolled stupidity.
