Have you ever hired someone? Sometimes you do all your research, do the interview, everything seems like its gonna be great, and you start working together and it doesn't work out. That was Weis and Muschamp. It happens. It's ultimately Muschamp's fault, but his plan in hiring Weis wasn't bad. And they would have thrown the ball a lot more in 2011 had Brantley not been injured. I mean, how do you reconcile, that with Brantley at QB, UF scored more on Alabama in 2 quarters than LSU did in 8 quarters?

Pease, on the other hand, in retrospect, had a lot of people fooled. If he look at his history at Uk and Baylor, you would see a history of shitty offenses. He had a good year at Boise State, which got him looked at by the big boys, but that was basically it.

Muschamp's biggest failuers, IMO, have been the ability to put together a cohesive offensive staff and his failure in the 2012 recruiting class to address the major holes left behind by the previous head coach.

Those two errors, coupled with a string of hilarious bad luck unlike anything I've seen in recent sports history during the 2013 season, resulted in a catastrophic losing season, instead of just a normal mediocre 6-6 shitty season like it probably should have been given the injuries and the strength of the schedule.

He has recruited better in 2013 and 2014, and he has one more chance to put together a good offensive staff. He seems to have made the right moves. We'll know by the end of October either way.

Regarding the games you keep listing:
ULL - he won
Miami - 5 fricken turnovers, WTH are you gonna do? His 2012 team took very good care of the football. The only legit bad coaching move I remember from that game was not calling time out on the 4th down conversion that failed. I mean ultimately, you have to blame the head coach for everything, but when your players just keep fricking up and not taking care of the ball, wtf are you gonna do? The same thing has happened to every coach we've ever had.
LSU - was a healthy 10-3 team. At home, with one of the best QB's in the league. UF had Tyler Murphy. They lost Damien Jacobs early and were hurting for DL depth. It was 14-6 in the 4th quarter. UF had chances to win that game, they were not toyed with.
Mizzou - Murphy played the game injured, the offense was a total shite show, Ronald Powell, AND Damien Jacobs were both out, so UF's DL depth was shite. Cody Riggs gets a BS targeting ejection on the first play. Even with all this BS, UF was down 23-17 before the defense ran out of gas in the 4th quarter.
Vanderbilt - Your 2nd string QB has the worst game of his life, throws a bunch of really bad INTS that gives your opponent amazing field position and leads to short TD's. UF outgained vandy like 343-182 in yards. It was just a shite show of turnovers.
South Carolina - faced an 11-2 team on the road with a third string QB, and almost won. I don't see how you can fault him for anything there.
FSU - 14-0 national champs. Heisman QB. Are you shitting me? Vs Skyler Morninhweg and UF's beat up team? Think about the bad luck from last year. They designed a wildcat attack specifically for Trey Burton in that game. 2nd rush of the game, he goes for 50 yards, only to get injured for the rest of the game. BAD LUCK.

The games I'll give you where I legit feel UF should have won and I felt he did a shite job: Auburn 2011, Louisville 2012, Georgia 2013, GSU 2013. I could make a list like this for Meyer too. And Spurrier. Against weaker schedules with better teams.

And I'm not making excuses or anything. It would be a different story had UF been fully healthy in those games, but they werent. He did what he could with what he had. I feel at best, he should have been 6-6 with that situation.
