“… and everyone knows I’d rather have Mullen on my sideline than Kirby Smart.”

Pat Dooley shows it won’t be easy being a Gator shill in 2021.

This is my favorite part:

I actually know people who truly believe that Will Muschamp was placed at Florida by the Georgia Illuminati to bring down the Florida program.

Seriously, they really believe that. And now he is back at his alma mater as an analyst where he can only help the Bulldogs because the dude does know defense and special teams.

Agent Muschamp lives!

    This will be an interesting year for Mullen aficionados. Either it ends up being the 1991 Florida season again (OMG WE WON 2 IN A ROW v UGA, OUR COACH IS A GENIUS), or they end up with their own version of 1998 UGA (WHAT HAPPENED? WE SMOKED THEM LAST YEAR, WE HAVE A SUPER TALENTED NEW QB, AND OUR COACH IS AN OFFENSIVE MINDED WHIZ?)

    Considering Jimmy Mac beat us with a scrub qb, it’s no time to get overconfident. But, if the analogy of “Florida is kind of like 1990s UGA: What happened 10 years ago is ancient history, but they haven’t realized it yet” is correct, they’re in for a bumpy ride down in Jortsville. They just don’t see it yet. FTMFs. 🙂

    Thank goodness Will Muschamp only coached at Auburn twice before getting his burn notice.

    Long story, but I got my MS at Florida (UGA undergrad), and when there were rumors of Agent Muschamp getting fired after the 2013 season, I sent the following email to UF President Bernie Machen (below, along with his reply). No comment on whether or not I’m part of the Georgia Illuminati.

    ++

    SUBJECT: Please Stay the Course

    President Machen:

    While I know we are all disappointed in the struggles of this year’s Gator football team, I am writing to ask you to stick with our current coaching staff. I have no doubt that Coach Muschamp is the right man to continue leading our football program into the future. Given the injuries our team has suffered this year, I think it is important to remember the great success Coach Muschamp had last season under better circumstances.

    As a loyal alumnus of the University of Florida, I think we can set a great example for the college football world by not making a knee-jerk reaction (e.g. Auburn) at the first sign of adversity. I am confident that in a few years, we’ll be looking back at this season and seeing it as the impetus for the next half-decade of Gator greatness.

    In all kinds of weather,
    [FisheriesDawg]
    MS 2009

    Thanks, [FisheriesDawg]! You are a true Gator! We will do the right thing.

    Bernie

        If a Georgia illuminati exists, they really do a shit job.

        We haven’t won jack shit in football in over 40 years. We had 20 year and 12 year droughts between football SEC titles.

        And our Olympic sports, for the most part, to include baseball and men’s basketball, have gone to complete shit.

        Fuck the Georgia illuminati which is just another way of saying fuck The Georgia Way.

        Dooley can get stupid sometimes, and he’s no doubt a homer (think Dantzler with another 15-20 years), but he’s a lot more thoughtful and objective than that.

    No lies detected, honestly. He doesn’t have to like Kirby for all of those reasons to be accurate as to why Florida won’t get love this off season. They’re all pretty good reasons the Gators will live up to those expectations.

    He rather have a coach that has gone 1-3 against Smart, who couldn’t score a single TD against us during the Miss State game in ’17, a game that according to most hack pundits we stood no chance? He rather have Dopey Dan’s embarrassing off-field antics and cowardly habit of throwing players under the bus while deflecting blame for any coaching mistake? Homerism is one helluva drug.

    So the Georgia Illuminati can place a coach at Florida, but can’t get the officials to call the correct calls in a championship game.
