We Have a Culture Problem…
Two losses after a 4-0 start and the fanbase is already ready to fire Sumrall. The team gives up at the littlest sign of adversity. This isn’t the Gator brand and it starts with us as fans. The players see the kinds of things going around on social media and of course it will affect their play. These are young impressionable kids.
I have noticed it over the years but the culture surrounding the program, particularly the fan base, has just gone off the rails. I blame it partly on social media because now everyone wants to get paid for engagement so you get idiots like IAKOW posting nonsense almost daily. However, we as a fanbase have become so toxic that I, even as an alumnus and die hard Gator for decades, can’t even stand talking with some of you. It needs to be toned down a notch. We need to give Sumrall a fighting chance or else we are going to be even more years behind the rest of the pack. We need to be supportive at this stage. This isn’t the time to go calling for a 6 game coach to lose his job and particularly not after demolishing the #4 team in the country 3 weeks ago.
