Everyone on here, including me, has enjoyed taking their shots at Mac. Now that he is gone, and in the way he is leaving reminds me a lot of the Tennessee departure of Fulmer. But in several ways it is different as well. In Mac's first two years, he ends up, and some will say backs into winning the SEC East, and in his third year is fired. His start at recruiting was suspect, simply by the timing of the hire, at he caught up at the last minute. The next two years have been somewhat mediocre, but still ranked. The downfall of not recovering on offense became his serious beginning of the downfall and everyone saw that. BUT, my thinking is that what is the available coaching candidates going to be thinking as this process goes forward?? One might think that by winning 2 SEC EAST division titles, and getting FIRED in the third season, is a reasonable reason for a darn good candidate NOT to come to UF. Let's face it, not many coaches get fired after winning their first two seasons!!! Just that fact by itself will eliminate some top echelon coaches, but maybe not mediocre coaches. Only those that have the confidence in their coaching abilities to overcome that AND the UF fanbase huge impatience, would consider it. The 5 miserable years between Fulmer to Jones was a huge setback to the VOLS program. I'm wondering if the MAC departure will do the same.

Guess that means Foley was a dolt for all those years?

@GatorsScott: Jim McElwain's 34-game stint as #Gators head coach shortest for a non-interim UF coach since D.K. Stanley's 29-game stint from 1933-35.
When it comes to football... yes. He hired Zook, Chump, and Mac. All were failuresGuess that means Foley was a dolt for all those years?
That really tells you that our A.D. wants to make a difference. At least I hope so.
Or he wants to ingratiate himself with the fans.

Hmmmm didn't you leave someone out? LOL

Nope: Urbs was the President's choice. If only Foley had a track record like his basketball track record. All of 'em absolute unbridled disasters.
