re: 2023 Football Discussion Thread General Thoughts & Comments

Making excuses. The bottom line is any championship coach in modern history that turned out good had a good season in their first 3 full years no matter the state of the program. Heck I think even at UF you have to go back more than 50 years to find a coach that even failed to have 8 regular season wins in their first 2 years. Year 2 is one thing but you are not cut out for the job if you go 6-6/7-5 three straight seasons. That is saying UF is now KY in football. I hope he has a nice year 3 or even shocks us in year 2 but you have to show you can compete in the SEC and be able to go better than 50/50 in SEC play by year 3. Heck with the portal now there is even less of an excuse not to have things going much better in year 3.
