Palmetto Proving Grounds

I was about to make the same post whenever I saw it happen on the sidelines. The game has passed Spurrier by or either he just doesn't pay attention to what's going on, especially in crucial times. There was absolutely no reason for us to call a TO right there. Even if the playclock was running out just take the 5 yard penalty and don't stop the clock for any reason. That was just laughable.

That's correct but Spurrier obviously didn't know that. Why would he waste a TO and give UF extra time to prepare for the play? There's absolutely no reason for a TO by us there and there's no acceptable explanation. I'm very happy that we pulled out the win but that was inexcusable. Had that happened in just about any other situation it would have more than likely cost us the game. He needs to pay attention. It's bad, and not to mention it makes him look really clueless, when an assistant has to run up and literally grab and stop you from doing something like that.

Amazing to me .... "game passed Spurrier by" --- you are off you r rocker ... We won!

You can't be serious? Sometimes you gotta just bite the bullet and not just blindly defend someone. He just about screwed up until an assistant stopped him. Just admit it.

So what you're saying is Spurrier gets credit for all of that? Recruiting has absolutely nothing to do with in-game coaching so that's totally irrelevant.(I think you need to work on your ability to draw conclusions) Not to mention that Spurrier is less involved in recruiting that any coach on our staff.

Our defense has been our strong point ever since Spurrier has set foot on this campus. An unbiased person could easily tell you that EJ and the defensive coaches are more responsible for our success than Spurrier. I've always been a big fan of Spurrier and still am but it's obvious he's one of the most hard-headed coaches in America and only recently started admitting his own mistakes. It still doesn't make it any better when he only admits them but still doesn't seem to try to correct them. It's seems like when the lights come on he always reverts back to his old ways that won't work with this team.(7 step drops etc.)

Anyways I didn't make a comment just to go on a long rant but I guess I failed at that. My whole problem is I can't understand why people continually put blind faith in him and think he does no wrong. He's human and he makes mistakes just like that rest of us and he almost made a big one today so there's no reason to sugarcoat it or ignore it.

I never said he doesn't deserve some credit but he most certainly doesn't deserve all of it. That's true that the things our football team is doing now has never been done before but there's a lot more coaches than just one that deserve the credit for that. Also your last sentence sums up a lot of people in our fanbase. You're saying he gets a pass and deserves the credit but it's always fair game to criticize the rest of our coaches. It just doesn't make sense to me or any other rational person. The guy makes mistakes so there's no reason to act like he doesn't.

Are you serious? Since you are the blind one, I will waste my time and explain to you that Spurrier has this habit of lining the O up and reading the defense and then calling a TO if the play on is bad and he cant get an audible in with the given time. He has done this his ENTIRE CAREER. He obviously saw that the run play we were in wasn't going to get us a first down or at least a 3rd and short, the play gained 2 yards, and wanted to call a time out to get us into a good play since the play clock was down to 5. The time had already been stopped by a uf timeout on the previous play. So since football logic seems to be escaping you at the moment, a first down in that situation ends the game without giving uf the opportunity,because uf didn't have the timeouts to stop the clock. NOTHING about that would indicate that the game has passed him by. Yes I get frustrated with this offense and yes, i never would have thought i would be disapointed in a season where we swept the east, but im not blindly defending spurrier. So please go back to whining about not offering quinshad davis or something else where you actually have a valid argument.

I think he's doing a pretty good job of that himself while leading the state in TD receptions(22) and receiving yardage(1644). Not to mention leading the #3 team in the nation to a 1st round playoff win last night. He looked excited last night at half time when they presented him with his jersey to play in the O-D All-American Bowl at Cowboys stadium at the end of the year.

I guess it's easy to agree to disagree when you didn't present any rational counterpoint.

I guess you failed to read my lengthy posts before his which seems par for the course for you. I didn't feel the need to retype all of that just because you're either too lazy or incapable of comprehending it. I think you may need to sit this one out since you've brought absolutely nothing to the discussion except for this gem: "Yes, it comes with being the head coach." I'm just curious how long it took you to formulate that point.

Quinshad is a very good wr. So yeah. I don't blame you for wanting to offer him.

Yeah...it's passed him by so much that he beat everybody in the east this year without Latt, Garcia, Nunn, etc. You're a ###### idiot!
