So, let me break it down without the namecalling.

This is the type of team we are right now. The OL has struggled. We have a serious lack of playmakers on offense and when it comes down to it, we have a first-time starter at QB in the SEC. We are who we are right now. We win games by causing turnovers, playing good defense and ST. This is our identity right now. But, anyone who suggests we do not have the right head coach I believe needs to have their head examined.

Here's why -- does anyone remember the complete mess of a team that Muschamp had to inherit? Players who played for themselves and not the team have either been shipped out or have changed their ways. This has been admitted numerous times and we finally have a team again at the University of Florida. If you want the offenses of the Spurrier days, well...sorry. We aren't that team right now. I don't know many other coaches in college football right now who could have completed that type of turnaround so quickly.

We do, however have very skilled offensive players in this recruiting class and a young QB with tremendous upside (probably more than any other QB in the nation). We have some young OL and a few studs on the way and coaching in that position has been much better than what we had in years past.

I'd also like to ask you when is the last "offensive minded head coach" that won a National Championship? And I'd question if you answer Urban Meyer due to the fact that our defenses in both of our NCs with him were absolutely sick and most of them are starters in the NFL right now. We were blessed to have some playmakers on offense who are also contributing pretty damn well in the NFL.

The formula in college football is pretty damn simple if you ask me and I struggle with why people find it so hard to comprehend. You win NCs by playing outstanding defense and having a few dynamic players on offense. Bama had Ingram, Julio, and T-Rich. Auburn had Cam. We had Percy, Tebow, and others. We will get there. Questioning a guy who has taken this team to 8-1 this season when most projected us to be third in the East is not going to win you a popularity contest here.

You guys are very funny. You have a head coach who admits he does not plan to try on offense. Then the head coach's team has a crummy offense. Then you wonder why, but can not imagine that it could be the head coach.

Good deduction skills. Of course several people with such good thinking skills can only resort to name calling. I am sure you are proud of those contributions to the discussion.

However, name calling does not change the facts. Just as offensive minded head coaches get the defense they demand from their defensive coordinator, defensive minded head coaches get the offense they demand from their offensive coordinator. When you coach to have a bad offense, you have a bad offense. It is really as simple as that.
