The snarky post-game Mac press conference thread

McElwain says it isn't too late to get Kyle Trask or Feleipe Franks into a game. Will evaluate the QB position this week. ~ Tweet from Nick De La Torre ~

Laughable. If he wouldn't even consider putting in Appleby in this game we are supposed to believe he's going to play a true freshman vs. Muschamp (a literal must-win for his career/job)? Yeah, RIGHT!!!

 

[KronoGator]

Unfortunately, it will cost us $20+ million to fire McElwain and his staff and hire the next big thing. It ain't happenin'.

Money can be found, UT is still paying Fulmer and Dooley off and they found a guy.

• “First and foremost for you guys who made the trip down here, I apologize that you had to sit through that. My hat’s off to Bret and those guys. They took that week off and came out with something to prove and proved it.”
• “Obviously getting off to a start where the first time you throw the ball you throw a pick-6, that doesn’t help it. … One of 11 on third downs, which we’d been pretty decent at and obviously the lack of explosives. … We weren’t able to run the football, which is rough, and they did a job of keeping the football with their time of possession.”
• “Guys, I’m very disappointed. The locker room’s disappointed, but you know, as you go through and things happen to you along the way you get a real opportunity to test yourself and see how we’re going to rebound next week at home. I just feel horrible for the Gator nation. Just the way everything kind of played out.”
• Injuries: C Cam Dillard “probably going to be out,” LB Alex Anzalone “will probably be out,” LB Jarrad Davis “will probably be out.” LB Kylan Johnson will probably be back.
• “I still like our football team. I still like our guys. They understand what they let slip away, but the key is what you learn from it.”
• Did you consider pulling QB Luke Del Rio: “Yeah, we did. And I just didn’t do it, but yeah it crossed our minds. … Just the way it was and we were going into two-minute and he had been handling it with the 1s.”
• “There’s a lot of positions we have to evaluate moving forward. Obviously when you lose, that’s part of the position of playing QB. Everybody’s ready to put you on your shoulders when you win, and when you don’t play great as a team that’s usually the first spot it’s pointed to.”
• Did you see this possibility out there with the way the team practiced? “No, I didn’t. I thought they were prepared. I told you, we had a slow start on Tuesday. I said that in the media, in the press conference. I don’t think guys were still celebrating the last game, knowing what was at stake. Didn’t come through.”
• “This was one of those games when you looked in the summer where it lied (on the schedule), you though, hmm, I wonder what’s going to happen.”
• On the gap between the SEC West and East. “Pretty big. And you know as the Florida Gators it’s our responsibility to get it closer.”
• On expectations of running game after seeing what Auburn did to Arkansas: “I thought we could double team some guys and reestablish a line of scrimmage, I did. We didn’t. I mean, it wasn’t just the Auburn game. We felt … look, they just took it to us up front.”
• Is it too late to get Kyle Trask or Feleipe Franks involved if you make a QB change: “No, it isn’t.”

What abdouche bag. This isn't on the players you moron. This was an absolutely horrendous attempt at game planning and you sir failed. Not the players. You failed everyone on the team

 

[Durty South Swamp]

All I heard was well we are disappointed.... and yet....

"Let that one slip away"
You freaking kidding me???

 

[aka]

It's gotten so the bitching is more entertaining than the football for me.

 

[RocketCityGator]

PREACH IT, BROTHER!!!

Our D is going to stink next year, but I think it will be a step forward to get "Teez" off this team. That kid is the biggest punk we've had play for us since Channing Crowder or Aaron Hernandez. Agree, the "culture" is bad and it will take the right coach to correct it.

Unfortunately, it will cost us $20+ million to fire McElwain and his staff and hire the next big thing. It ain't happenin'.

why will it cost $20 million? Surely we don't have that kind of buy out?

 

[OcalaGator83]

He didn't take responsibility, again. Sort of his MO.

 

[Chomper]

I had hoped that the O would turn the corner this season, but this season is in the homestretch and the O is no better than it was last season. As a fan I look for a team to get better as the season progresses. That has not happened. That is on the coaches. It sets up well for us to go out on a four game losing streak, and 5 if we get a halfway decent bowl opponent. And please, don't tell me to be patient with this staff. I am fresh out!

Can I "like" this twice?

 

[MJMGator]

He's lost. Deer in the headlights. Poor bastard doesn't even know what hit him.

 

[KronoGator]

Forget the apologies to the people who made the trip, write em a check.

I want Spurrier back worse than I wanted a go cart and a KX80 when I was 11.

I knew Ol' Hee Haw was going to mail it in while still in the 1st half, that he would never get off his lazy ass and do any sort of in-game coaching, and the Del Taco would be in to the last snap. This guy is at best a Div II coach; he's in WAY over his head. The USCe game may show that he's inferior to the chimp, and I thought that was simply not possible. Get ready to see this shyte thru the end of the year as the lopsided, mailed-in losses pile up.

Coaching search - start now.

We need to tell Mac we are about to make a choice.
