I know you're getting sick of me. Sick and tired of my constant, mostly unwavering opposition to Florida head coach Will Muschamp in the comments of this site and on Twitter. So I have good news.

I'm done.

No more bemoaning the decision to keep Muschamp after Georgia Southern and 4-8. No more incessant complaining over his inability to retain coaches or develop players on the offensive side of the ball. It's football season now, and I'd rather just win some damn football games. It's been far too long.

In spite of everything, I like Muschamp. He talks like I do. He, like me, is a little bit overweight and seems completely comfortable with the beer-to-beer belly tradeoff. He keeps his players out of trouble for the most part. He's funny on Twitter as a real guy and as a parody. I find his self-deprecating humor to be a breath of fresh air in a climate of say-nothing coachspeak. Some have a problem with his fiery sideline demeanor, but I think his temper is downright Spurrieresque and I love it.

Plus, he's a really, really, really good defensive coach.

I was never one of the FireRonZook.com guys who actively rooted against Florida with the hope that a season in the tank would get the Zooker fired. I wasn't a fan of Zook's, but I was still a Gator fan. I wanted us to win all our games, but I wasn't terribly mad about the loss to Mississippi State in 2004. By that point I knew that would bring about the change we needed.

Saturday is opening day, and although Muschamp is a very pedestrian 22-16 as a head coach, the Gators are 0-0 in 2014. It's a new season, and there's nothing stopping this team from winning every game on the schedule and playing in Atlanta, New Orleans/Pasadena and Dallas.

I don't REALLY think that's going to happen. I'm not going to stop being critical of Muschamp when he deserves it. But I am not so down on Florida's head coach that I have no hope for 2014. When you are a fan, there is always hope. Otherwise, what's the point of even showing up?
