Say it ain't so!
This was on SDS:
Will Muschamp is likely one win away from keeping his job — No one knows exactly what Jeremy Foley is thinking, but he’s hasn’t exactly hidden his desire to not fire Muschamp. With the program turning things around in recent weeks and apparently heading in a positive direction — what would be a 5-3 record in conference play to go along with at least seven wins on the season — I believe there’s too many aspects in Muschamp’s favor to let him go. Barring an absolutely embarrassing loss against Florida State or an unthinkable defeat to Eastern Kentucky, Muschamp should be back in the orange and blue with a win against South Carolina.
AAAARRRRGH!!!
...and what I've been fearing, SCREAMING about all along. I think this is pretty realistic, and even "doable"--especially if we win 2 of 'em: one win gives Foley some cover, but 2 might well dampen the inevitable general outrage in Gatornation JUST ENOUGH to make it inevitable--seeing how (as the article points out, and as some of us have been warning for some weeks) Foley is inclined to keep him anyway, "continue to honor his contract" (that's how it'll be played in the media, sort of casually, like "Oh by the way..."), at this point. If E. Kentucky is the only win, there'll be a WHOLE lotta folks who will see that it was a "done deal" the moment he beat UGA, and that their frustration abd disgust was going to be ignored regardless. Aside from mass apoplexy (yes, count me as one more near the head of THAT angry lynch mob), the only real and effective option is to "vote with our feet, asses and wallets"--ie. Fewer advance and walk-up sales and more season-ticket no-shows, plus a serious decline in Officially Sanctioned Gator Paraphenalia, all amount to "hitting 'em where it hurts", the people Foley has to answer to, AND is a clear and obvious public demonstration for all to see.
So that's what it's come to after all? Ealy November and we're down to planning our response to keeping a clearly failing, thick-headedly stubborn Coach who has already lead us to the brink of doom, and is on track to bring in our worst, lowest-rated recruiting class in decades? Sucking now ain't enough? Foleyu has to see us sunk for years to come before he'll move on this? (E-: THAT'S why I am so disenchanted with our AD himself!
@miltongator, : You were out ahead in sounding the alarm here re Muschamp in the first place. I can now better see and understand your frustration is others not grasping where this was all headed sooner.
