Title: What message if Florida sending? Post by: crimson13 on November 20, 2014, 08:52:22 AM Quoting from the Edward Ashchoff article:
http://espn.go.com/blog/sec/post/_/id/93960/muschamp-will-leave-florida-in-better-shape (http://espn.go.com/blog/sec/post/_/id/93960/muschamp-will-leave-florida-in-better-shape) "Muschamp also left that locker room in a more stable condition, too, after walking into an absolute mess when he arrived in 2011. Even Meyer relented he left him a broken program. So it took awhile for Muschamp to gain power in that locker room, but looking at the state of what's happening away from the field, he did a heck of a job bringing order, even if the wins didn't come. Head cases and trouble-makers were booted, as the off-field incidents decreased exponentially under Muschamp and the team's GPA rose. The team's Academic Progress Rate (APR) this spring was 979, which is 10 points higher than the national average and the highest it's been at Florida in the past decade. Muschamp has had 68 players make academic All-SEC and 44 graduate with degrees. And the composite team GPA this past spring was the highest in the history of the football program." "He was asked to come here and build a program, a program built on character and on good academic values," university president Bernie Machen said. "He was asked to develop young men that would be a credit to the Gator Nation. He has done that." So, why was he fired?? Wins and losses. Nothing else matters these days.

Muschamp was paid ($$ Millions) to develop a program of young men who behave, try their best in classes, and represent the school well. They were also expected to win. Clearly Muschamp didn't accomplish those goals and/or meet those expectations. When a school invests millions of dollars, they should expect a quality product.

You have to do both, have players with character and win with them. That's why he was paid $2.7 mil a year. :dog: Title: Re: What message if Florida sending?
