You point to the Gators' record this year as some sort of vindication of your position, but it was due far more to an improvement in special teams and defense from the Zook era than from what Meyer was doing on the other side of the ball.<BR/><BR/>UF is, after all, the team with the most perplexing loss in the conference this year: a loss in Baton Rouge where the Gators were +5 in turnover margin. That's the game that brought Meyer to tears. That's the game that led Meyer to claim he wasn't running a system. That's the game that led him to abandon a lot of the spread option he had been running unsuccessfully to that point.<BR/><BR/>Also, I am curious about why you omit Texas Tech from the Gang. If there's any coach out there who's elevating scheme above everything else, and having some success, it's Mike Leach. If you haven't read the article about him in last week's New York Times' Sunday Magazine, go find it - it's by "Moneyball"'s Michael Lewis and it's a terrific read...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11175154.post-1134289070567531822005-12-11T03:17:00.000-05:002005-12-11T03:17:00.000-05:00HP, Why does Texas not fit the "gang of six" crite...HP, Why does Texas not fit the "gang of six" criteria?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
