is everything I hope Derek Cooper is for us next season. Great burst, great cutting ability, powerful when he makes contact. Might not have Cooper’s wheels either.

Six starts and 5-1 no?

Usually I’d be all for the best version of Florida possible to make it a good game, but given the circumstances this season I’ll take a Miami blowout and a full Gator coaching implosion this weekend please.

We’re going to start playing the vaunted “14 personnel” offense.

Ahh, no. Just curious about the contingency planning for this season. My hope and dream is still fully aligned with the sunshine and roses option that he pulls off a Colt like sophomore year and goes on to do great things next year.

Come again?

In a vacuum, no, I don’t think Sark has the balls to do it, but there is a point between now and a 3 and 9 record this season that he’d have to.

Everyone has a plan until they start out 0-2 in SEC play and 3-3 on the season.

For a certain amount of time, yes. But there’s too much invested in the success of this program from an NIL standpoint, fan investment and the considerations of every other player on the team for this entire season to turn into 12 games of teaching Arch how to play again. At some point you rip the bandaid which brings in the contingency planning.

I just don't see what Caldwell gets us that we can't get from Lacey. Unless we really think Caldwell is capable of an SECCG / CFP run, if Arch is out you're basically building for 2026.

At this point the coaches have to be parallel pathing a plan in case this is just not an in-season fix with Arch. IMO you keep working with him through this weekend but at some point the team and the season goals are the priority. So what’s the contingency if he lays another egg this weekend or in Gainesville? Mine would be to work KJ into the gameplan starting this weekend. Give him a few series in the 2nd and the 4th. See how he does under the lights. Then spend the entire two weeks prior to Florida giving them something extra to game plan for, and maybe continue to use Lacey as a change of pace to come in for Arch. If the wheels do eventually fall off for Arch this season, at least we’re getting some critical experience for KJ. Thoughts? @CJ Vogel @Bobby Burton @Jeff Howe @Gerry Hamilton

Sit Baxter and Wisner. Need them for UF/OU. Unleash Simon!

Remember the great debates of the Dark Decade where we questioned whether it was coaching or players? And that you shouldn’t have to sign a five star RB to get better run game production against UTEP? I’m having those feelings again. We shouldn’t need Derick Cooper to run for more chunk yards against UTEPs defense, and yet I find myself saying I’m not surprised because all we have are decent but not elite running backs on campus.

Okay so this equals VY’s 2004 season and we’re still on track for the same record. I kid.

To be fair that was his freshman year.

But he got another commit from a “Big Human” that doesn’t grade out well and can’t play offensive line.

Bring us all the OLs you can find.

This is Arch’s redshirt sophomore season. 2007 was Colt’s redshirt sophomore season. That year Texas went 10-3 with losses to K State, OU and A&M and ended with a Holiday Bowl win vs Arizona State. Colt’s stat line that season: 65% passing for 3,305 yards, 22 TDs and 18 Interceptions. We all know how 2008 and 2009 went from there. Maybe we just need to be patient. (Also it would help if Sark had a Jamaal Charles in this backfield.)

Haven’t followed. I know they’re 0-2 but what’s going on with Freeman?

That was a hell of a recruitment. Thought for sure we had him and then he and Robert Thomas punked us!

@Gerry Hamilton Who we going after? @Bobby Burton @CJ Vogel

Just answering OPs question.

Ohio State’s front 7 this year was nothing close to what Georgia had last year. The question was about Quinn vs Arch’s upside this year. I’m saying fourth year Quinn playing a quick accurate short passing game has us in way better position than the dumpster fire we’re seeing on offense right now.

It’s all just hypotheticals at this point but given the even nature of the D’s I’m going with Quinn over Sayin even if Patricia dialed up more smoke for Ewers.

As for upside I’d see similar to the other two Quinn years. Playing for conference championships and making the semi finals of the CFP. That seems to have been his ceiling which sure looks a hell of a lot better than this train wreck.
