[QUOTE="Dress2Jacket, post: 894131, member: 5508"] The 1990 National Championship team nearly broke down right before the Citrus bowl. Fundamentally, it came down to we/they issues where the less affluent players on the team (i.e. mainly the black players) took offense at the bowl trip where their more affluent friends had family there and had more options during the stay in Orlando. The staff managed to pull the team back together in time for the game, but I think there were long term hurt feelings there. When BL came in, he didn't have a great first year with Sean Jones, then Donnie Davis took over the next year. Like Sean, Donnie didnt' have a great first season under BL, and in the off-season Luginbill was brought in from Juco to compete for the job, which he eventually won (or was handed). That created an even bigger racial divide on a team that was already unhappy, going from a NC to a losing record in 2 years. Beyond that, when BL came in, he allegedly came in with a "new sheriff in town" kind of attitude, which was off-putting to everyone, given that the team won a NC two years earlier and had just come off a bowl win. Add that to the previously mentioned drop in coaching skill, and the team was done with it... [/QUOTE]
