Given how great of a developer Dan Mullen is supposed to be and the problems with McElwain's recruiting and S&C, this would seem to be welcome turnover. Given yours and many Gators' claims of Kirby only being successful with Richt's recruits and then being a terrible game coach and developer, seems like 2020 should be a gimme then, no?
I know you think you've got a zinger here but our two most productive WRs last year were...
Transfers.
And a lot of Kirby's success was having a ton of juniors and seniors for his second year and a laughably easy East.
The opposite is true for Mullen. He took over a 4 - 7 team with zero identity and a coach who had given up before the last season ended. Richt was fired at 9 - 3 and Kirby inherited an extremely talented but young team.
I don't know what it is with Georgia posters and not understanding context.
2016 Georgia was ripe for the picking, 2018 Florida was a complete goddamn disaster and it's not even comparable.

... I'm more or less serious. If Gator fans are correct that Dan is an exceptional developer of talent, then the turnover from worse players to guys that Dan and his staff brought in and has coached up should in theory be better than players that Kirby brought in and coached up, no?
I'm not talking about year 1. I'm talking about year 3 for Mullen and year 5 for Smart.
What context am I missing here?

A good chunk of the team was suspended the prior season... UF wasn't as bad off as the record indicated and many of you all even said as much when Mullen was hired. 2015 Georgia also was probably the worst 10 win team I've seen in recent memory. I'm not equating the situations, but it's pretty damn disingenuous to imply that Smart inherited a playoff ready team while Mullen inherited garbage juice smoothies.

Coming from the guy who still doesnt understand the context of the Kirby quotes from after the SECCG, so dont act like you are immune.

You have already proven you dont know much about the UGA roster situation going into 2016, and you certainly downplay the impact of the suspensions, injuries, and an easy game not played for UF 2017.

I prefer Mullen's players, but we're thin at the positions because there weren't players recruited behind them, especially last year.

Yeah, Jordan Scarlett came back and some backups.
It wasn't like some incredible players came back.
In the end, as I said: Our two best receivers were transfers and it wasn't even close. McElwain's team was weak.

Georgia fans are in a staunch minority with the idea that Kirby inherited dogshit and made them incredible.
Georgia runs itself and you're proving it by saying shite like "that was the worst ten win team I've ever seen..."
Imagine bitching about ten wins.
The point proves itself.Posted on 8/8/19 at 2:12 am to StrawsDrawnAtRandom

What this means is that the vast majority have no clue about the 2016 roster.

So a clearly improved roster from the 2017 team, which was awfully close to a 7-5 record.

The only 10 win team to go unranked. That team was awfully close to a 5-7 record.
Might want to dig a little deeper with your football analysis rather than rely on final records.

We listened to it plenty from Gator fans about Muschamp.

We're not talking about this year, we're talking about next year. Kirby went 11-1 in year 3 and took Alabama to the wire in the SECCG. I don't recall how many Seniors were on the roster last year, but it wasn't a big percentage of starters. Baker, Gaillard, Walker for sure... some depth guys at LB/S?
If UF is thin in year 3 under Mullen, that's more on Mullen than it is on Mac. He'll have had 2 complete recruiting cycles plus his transition class. That's up to 75 guys he could have taken, kept on the roster, and developed.

Our starting LT in year 1 under Kirby was a Grad transfer from Rhode Island. Our best Safety for the last 2 years has been a transfer from Tulsa. One of our starting WR and 2 "starting" TEs will almost definitely be grad transfers this year. Every team is taking advantage of transfers... UF didn't have a monopoly on that last year.

Who said it was "dog shite"? There is a world of fricking distance between "playoff ready" and "dog shite"... The roster had SIGNIFICANT holes, notably lacked upper class leadership/talent due to the departures from the 2013 debacle of a recruiting class... Any UGA fan who can't acknowledge those *facts* is probably not very knowledgeable in general about roster building and is more likely to be the kind of casual fan who just runs with "Woooo UGA #1, Woooo!" There's room for all types, but if you're wasting time arguing or discussing the state of a roster in 2016 with an ultra casual fan, it says more about you than the other person. It would be like me asking reel or TJ for an objective analysis...

Imagine... McElwain had a 10 win season, followed by a 9 win season with a rent a win displaced... And before the 2017 football season, all we heard was bitching by gators... well before the season went to shite.

To be fair to Gators, Champ had an 11 win season in 2012 and I don't recall Gators bitching about it too much. They were unhappy about the tie-breaker and UGA going to the SECCG, but I don't recall them being dissatisfied with the season. The wheels kinda fell off after that for him though. As noted above though, they essentially had back to back 10 win seasons (they lost the Presbyterian game in order to reschedule the LSU hurricane game - and had 9 wins), and were bitching incessantly...

You must be new here...
Take a look through this thread and then give us specific examples about what it is that I'm supposedly triggered about... I can wait.
Typing out a logically sound response to someone else's view is hardly "triggered". I'm sorry if basic reasoning is no longer part of the core curriculum in Gainesville. Thanks for playing but maybe take a round or two in the D-leagues first.

Well well well. What an advantageous schedule we have here. Confidence with a young team will do wonders going into 2021.
Would make for a healthy team for the WLOCP.
Win or lose that game, uga will still be irrelevant like they have for 40 years.

I'll take that as a no, and an inability to respond cogently.

I don’t know why you’re putting the emoji of two people drinking before 10 am. Are you ok? Do you have a drinking problem? It’s ok to talk about this to someone.
Posted on 8/8/19 at 9:10 am to AshleySchaeffer
Yikes... Inability to offer up a reasoned response and resorts to gifs and then questioning emojis. Straws, come get your goober, they got out of the playpen.

I think you mean McElwain. Most gators weren’t happy with him despite the 10 win teams. Oddly, Straws was one of his biggest defenders, even through much of 2017.

We weren't exactly dogshit....but we weren't all that, either. The o-line was in piss-poor shape, the QB was an inexperienced freshman who made a lot of freshman mistakes, and the defense was learning a new scheme. As far as 2015 goes, we won 10, but this was also a team that had to go to OT to beat Ga. Southern, for crying out loud. They were about the worst 10-win team I ever saw, and they finished unranked...so apparently, the experts thought UGA was dogshit at the end of 2015, too.
