If you're a West team, meaning you don't have that late season loss in the SECCG. Only three SEC East teams have done it in the last ten years and they were all ranked in the top #5 going in (i.e. one loss going in). It's not impossible but it's not likely. Basically we need to be top #5 at the end of the regular season or win the SEC CG.10-3 gets you in the top 10 most years if you're in the SEC...as long as you don't suffer 3 blowouts. As far as the "right coach", I honestly don't know who that was at the time. Mac sure ain't it IMO. I think he's a genuinely good guy with a decent personality but he won't ever be a championship caliber HC.
There's a lot of valid reasons to go after MAc. That prolly ain't one of them.
