His players never quit on him. He never quit on Florida knowing he was canned either way. He coached his team to win yesterday. He could have said to hell with it snd let assistants do all the work. Muschamp, Durkin, McElwain, Shannon, Mullen, Knox, and Napier.

Florida AD and boosters need to look in the mirror.

Cool story. He sucked and his offensive system/adjustments were swamp arse.

He is different from Franklin as he never had any success.

Who gives a shite? He's a terrible gameday coach. Did you not see that 3rd and 1 play call yesterday? Not to mention the 10 or so times we had 10 men on the field. He's a really poor play caller. One of the worst I've ever seen.

You play to WIN the game

He did not. Hence he’s unemployed

The schedule he was dealt was not conducive to stacking wins.
If he had ole miss’ schedule, he’d still have a job.

Never thought he was a bad person


Just a terrible head coach and playcaller.

Way too much talent to play as poorly as they did against us. The lack of 2nd half adjustments point to poor coaching. Florida got worse as the game went on against us and it looked like we were evenly matched talent wise.

The AD and boosters don't call a QB keeper on 3rd and 7 with a hobbled up QB.

What’s your point? That doesn’t mean you don’t cut the current tumor out ASAP.

That's great. If hiring a good guy with a losing record is a priority, there's one now available.

Seriously did they even watch the game? Napier set MSU up with a chip shot to win and MSU shite the bed. How is that coaching to win?

His mistake was not giving up play calling to a real OC.

This is exactly what happened to Drink. When he stopped calling the plays and hired a real OC, they won 11 games and took off.

It’s very difficult to do both effectively.
