These types of guys want a challenge.  The challenge at Florida isn't having the things you need to be successful, it's the pressure to use those things and be successful.

Spurrier did it.  Meyer did it.  Everything necessary to win is there.  Muschamp went 11-1 one year (lost the bowl)...the same guy who had Florida's first losing season of my lifetime.  McElwain went from unranked to top 10 during a season.  Mullen won an OB and had 3 straight top-10 finishes.  

If those guys can have those peaks, the problem isn't the program.  Great HCs are hard to find, that's all.

Napier fired.
With him being canned today, we now have Florida, Penn State, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma State, UCLA and Stanford as of right now. With FSU,Auburn,Wisc. very likely and Brian Kelly's seat is starting to get pretty warm too. Damn some of us should give it a shot,but that means no beer on Saturdays until late,hmm.

I'll be coaching flag football again.  But the players couldn't remember 4 plays last year.  I thought, "hey, this isn't academic, they'll be all about it," but no.  Not even close.

I have a pretty good knowledge of football and all these ideas to implement, but I'm out there having to show them the play diagram every play.  With 4 plays total.  It was embarrassing.

it's important that you have the Knowledge
it's also important to pass that knowledge to the students

You got demoted from coaching the HS team, all the way down to the midget leagues. :o

how old are these kids?
They're 11-12-13.  We practiced.  I had each player focus on 1-2 positions to learn what to do on each of the 4 plays.
I'm the only HC out there with diagrams, having to show them between each play in games.

They have no excuses. 
They want to say they're on the team and then just go out and wing it.  I'm like, I've got reverses and all these fun things we could implement, if you'd remember these 4 plays. 

So winning went out the door and I just hoped they have fun out there.  It's fun to score a TD or get an INT.  But it's A LOT of fun to win the game.
