Has a "Last Game on the Schedule", a Gator-Seminole game, EVER more epitomized a whole Gator SEASON of specific weakness, confusion and failure? Disappointing and frustrating as it was, our central, fundamental problem here has finally and clearly been unveiled: it is our offense, and, in the end, our OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR who is responsible for every decision and facet of it, that in the end MUST CHANGE. I believe Weis has shown an INABILITY to change, to adapt either his philosophy or his personnel to the rapidly shifting realities that come and go in the course of a game or a season. In my observation and experience, this is unlikely to change for the better, accompanied as it inevitably is with the usual stubbornness and arrogance that helped give rise to it in the first place.
This all goes back to those questions I asked at the end of the Game Day thread (5th page), the ones specifically about Weis, when it was "time" to say "enough", and what Muschamp should do, and should he do it now, and if not, when? Talk about "Good News/Bad News: the good news is our DEFENSE is on it's way to being really good, already well along and about to become dominant. The bad news is that our OFFENSE is mired in deep confusion, WAY behind the "D", and essentially leaderless--we're starting BEHIND "starting over" at this point, and unless and until it is run by someone who really has a handle on where things are and where they are going, we won't even BEGIN that climb.
There IS one more possible "good thing" here in all of this, though, one more thing that could give us hope: Now that we KNOW the problem, can finally SEE what has to change, it can be done, and the OFFENSE begin to heal and improve, to one day even dominate like our "D" soon will. It's just a matter of our Head Coach squarely facing that truth, and actually DOING something about it.
That's how I see it, at any rate.
