Those critique-facts on Mac's particular failures versus prominent challenges are fully correct. All us pumpers know & realize that. Those who stand by Mac do it because UF will not "destroy" its HC "fair-term hiring" national reputation among all prospective future HCs in the nation. If Mac is fired such that all those prospectively hirable HCs can nod their heads and agree, "yes, Mac had time to meet Florida's high expectations and in 4 years I'm sure, as CEO/HC at UF, I can get Florida yearly in the running for SEC Champs & National contenders." All prospective CEO/HC-worthy hires must fully recognize that the time-span as UF's HC gives reasonable time to hire, fire, reselect proper coaches and recruiters for SEC CFB & state of Florida treasure chest of athletes.
Sure, some of us Gator pumper-fans hope to the force of believing that "all" will come together for Mac in the UF tradition as a dominant threat within 4 years and he will lead the march back to year-in-year-out prominence. So UF recruiting will reach & stay in the Top6. Gator players will play with the gladness that young CFB players should exhibit. Now this can't be bunk because 70,000 wildly cheering fans are wishing & believing the same as pumpers. And they are admitting it at highest decibels on the Regional/National stage. Us pumpers are & will always stay proud to be part of any Gator effort.
The Florida Gator FB Program is not dying, no matter the number of killjoy hitmen.
