Yes--that "team chemistry" factor, along with the whole "honor and dedication" CHARACTER thing are the main reasons I prescribe patience and time, however long and whatever else is required to aquire and build not just TALENT (I am less and less worried about that from Mullen and his staff--they'll ultimately do spectacularly, from both in-state and nationally), but FIT: Give us the kind of richness of talent not seen SINCE Meyer's peak years here, PLUS explicit aim at that "honor and dedication" to each other I spoke to above, and we will have a chance at seeing new heights--minus the selfish sense of entitlement that produced the cracks that eventually fragmented and produced that earlier Gator team's premature downfall under the same Coach who brought and built it here in the first place. Ultimately perhaps even surpass that team's accomplishments.
Great and true a leader as Tim Tebow was, even he couldn't hold them all together quite long enough to see them all thru. Remember the frustration and sadness #15 shouldered for all of us to see that day in the Georgia Dome, when the team he was ready to DIE for fell apart before his, ours, the NATION'S eyes? The truth was we could all see it coming by the week leading UP to that SEC Championship game...As I've said before, in neither intangible talent nor heart will we see the likes of Tim Tebow again for a long, LONG time, on ANY team--but with a true sense of "family" and mutual trust a central part of team effort throughout the year, throughout the TEAM, all will share that responsibility--and the results that much more solid and sustained.
That's the idea here, at any rate. I know it's early--but I WANT to "buy in".
