Both Teel And Norm Wood confirmed Richt was NEVER on campus.

Eh, Beamer is a class act and the team still seems to be performing at the same level. Let Spurrier have this, whatever makes him feel better. By outward appearances, Beamer looks to have the happier and more fulfilling retirement.

It is completely illogical to think Beamer announced his retirement when he did so he could have a "Farewell Tour". I think the main reason Frank didn't announce it at the end of the season was to give Whit and the rest of the Athletic Dept. time to find the right coach. Additionally, I think the fans, more so than Beamer himself, wanted the chance to say goodbye, to have his signature on the field, and to fondly remember his time here. Spurrier has always had a large ego, and it is definitely showing in this letter.

I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I know there is no college football coach who gets more joy out of taking jabs and subliminal shots at other coaches than Steve Spurrier.

I could see him being bitter about the love that Beamer got versus the criticism that Spurrier received and taking the opportunity to take a little potshot at Frank. It might've been nothing, but Spurrier has a track record.

But if you miss every time...

The manager of Taco Bell confirmed this, and has stocked his store accordingly

We would like to extend this laurel, and hardy handshake to our new....recruiting disappointment

Terms of Enrampagement

I meant it mostly in jest. I'm in no way expecting our offense to all of a sudden turn into a high octane top 10 unit in 2016. I think Fuente is great at getting the best out of his players and I do expect some improvement on that side of the ball, along with some growing pains. I think 7-9 wins is realistic for next year given our schedule. I've said before that UNC, UT, and ND are the toughest match ups we have next year. I'll add Miami now that they're coached by Richt and have talent. Outside of that, our schedule is really quite manageable.

BEAMERBALL forever?

Yeah I don't doubt Fuente's ability to get it done without great QB play. I guess what I was trying to say was when his offenses are clicking on all cylinders the QB play has been really good. I guess you can say that about any offense though honestly. I liked his comments about seeing what you have and what the current guy's skill sets are and finding what they do well and then using what they do well in the offense. I have to think we will see an improvement in offense next year and good QB play should certainly increase those chances.

In all fairness, Auburn had a good offense when Gus was OC, then he was hired to be a head coach at Arkansas State and Loeffler was hired at Auburn, then one season later came back to be HC at Auburn after Chizik fell flat. Really, he continued what he started there, just in a higher role because the kids there were the same ones, less one graduating class, from when he was there before. That's the reason that the "look at what Auburn did after Loeffler" excuse doesn't hold a whole lot of weight. Auburn got back to doing what they did before which was run a spread based offense, one that was so productive that it got their OC a job as a HC at a mid-major. Even what Loeffler did at Auburn is just indicative of the fact that you can have talent, but if they are in the wrong scheme, they won't succeed. Bud is a great defensive coach and he has players who can play his defense well, but if he tried to just switch over to a 3-4 defense, that wouldn't likely go well because we don't have players who are fit for that style. But yes, let's hope that there's some juju there for us going forward.
