So many good points raised: even in those cases where I see a different conclusion to be drawn, I concede the basic relevance and logic to the arguments made and the questions raised. In the end, I guess I recommend that we suspend judgment of this Head Coach and his staff: obviously it sure would be best if he WERE going about things in exactly the right way--and either way, we'll know soon enough.
As for TraderG's specific questions as to our current roster and the guys who ARE playing now, I would first make 2 points:
(1) We DO have some guys who are "keepers", all underclassmen, and a great deal of what has been happening (and what the staff has gained in this otherwise dismal season) is identifying those (albeit relative few) good ones who WILL be a part of the "team-to-be", but (2) We have had a LOT of injuries, and that has kept a lot of the weaker links in play--there was no way else to field a (barely) competitive squad, and they have of course done little but confirm their lack of heart, self motivation or self-discipline, let alone any sign of commitment to their teammates.
Beyond that, I strongly agree with E's point about what kind of quality so many of those ""highly rated prospects" from the last couple of Meyer recruiting classes have turned out (NOT) to be, how few will in fact be high round draft picks, or even NFL material for that matter. I found myself thinking almost the exact same thing last week, when a prognosticator on one of the recruiting sites was saying that virtually the whole current starting Alabama defense would be high-round NFL draft choices, each expected to help their new teams early in their careers; THEY'LL be challenged by many of the LSU defenders for the same draft spots. Whereas that was once at least fairly close to being somewhat true at Florida, it sure as hell isn't even CLOSE to being so of late--and remember, that includes the better part of that highly touted "No. 1 Recruiting Class" of 2010, supposedly so rich in defensive talent (there might be a couple of good ones in there who ARE playing well, but the jury's still out even on them--mainly because of questions involving their heads and hearts).
No, I am counting on the more insightful and patient fans who I am glad to have as fellow contributors here at GE to ultimately NOT succumb to angry, knee-jerk scapegoating, the kind we already see blossoming among the late-comer fans on other sites, the front-runners who showed up during the Tebow years and are now so quick to abandon our AD, Head Coach, OC and soon no doubt the whole program (as someone once said, "the last to climb on the bandwagon are the first to jump off"). Believe me, I have always said and will always stand by the fundamental view that "No one is bigger than the program": if I turn out to be wrong, if I begin to get the impression that Coach Muschamp and Co. are NOT making good on their promise and stated intention to remake this team, to return this program to elite status by necessarily changing it's nature back to one of team-oriented toughness and mutual commitment, I will not hesitate to admit my mistake and advocate change at the top. However, he needs at LEAST 2 years after this one, one to begin the real wholesale changeover in personnel, and another to continue it AND begin to really show consistent results, before he and his staff deserve the kind of all-out, disappointed en-masse desertion that so many of these fools advocate, should even be considered. I'm hoping this much we can all agree on.
To be honest E, I'm doing as most of us here. Just hoping for the best. I'm pushing myself to look to the future. Not last week or last yr. pushing for the future. It's tough I got to admit. 
Hat's have been thrown,Some of the most God awful words blurted at the TV you've ever heard in your life but I come right back cheering them on. I'm not looking for the moral victory I'm just looking for improvement. You, DRU, Me and others could be very wrong with our thoughts. But I hope not. Not for my expert opinion <<<<lol, but for the team I LOVE, and THAT I ENJOY WATCHING EVERY STINKING TIME I GET THE CHANCE. I Sir have the Gator Fever and don't want it cured. I didn't never get the chance to go to college (H/S was enough or so I thought). I envy those of you that did get the HONOR of going to such a great college. I'm not the alumni but I support them in every way I can and I will continue to support.
To sum up the spill I've caused here. I think the FUTURE is bright but we got to hold on! This perfect storm that we have been tossed into IS going to be rough but if we stick together we will live to fight another day.
