If Mac gets fired next year who would you hire?

[CU-UF]

What about charlie strong, folks around here had a hard one for him a couple years ago.

 

[williston_gator]

He's had a starter in every game?

You know that means the chosen starting qb as in not backup. Lol.

 

[oxrageous]

Comon man, you can't be throwing facts around like that. It spoils the narrative.

The facts are we have beaten NO ONE good with that record, and about 80% of the wins against crappy teams were by the skin of our teeth.

Maybe things will suddenly get better, but we appear to be headed in a downward trajectory.

 

[L-boy]

So I guess we have at least 2 years, maybe three more years of these threads. Uggh.

We beat Ole Miss, UT and UGA last year. But don't let me get you off the narrative.

We would've beat the s too if we'd had a real QB instead of a midget that couldn't see wide open receivers.

If not more!

Next year will be too late because LSU is gonna make a serious run at Bert after this year.....

 

[gardnerwebbgator]

Mac isn't going anywhere. We can't afford to pay him, Duncechump, and a new HC.

 

[deuce]

Theoretically, I would want a young, aggressive, offense-minded Coach. Not a retread or career assistant.

 

[ergator920103]

I'd say that's pretty noteworthy.

What is also noteworthy is Mac is 1 - 5 vs. ranked opponents. Not so hot...

We've already established he's 2-6 against ranked teams, but 5 of those were with Treon at QB and the other was UT this year (which I actually placed almost solely on the coaching staff).

Don't think Dabos super southern schitck would work in yankee Florida

Have you seen the way he has recruited Florida. He pulls more out than Mac.

 

[78]

Too early to make that call. We're not playing all that well, but we're 4-1 and still in the hunt. These next three games will reveal a lot about this team as well as his future. He's for sure coming back for a third season.

Fwiw:
Since 2015

Jim McElwain (Florida) 14-5
Jimbo Fisher (FSU) 13-5

And that's Year 7 for Jimbo after all these "5 star recruiting classes"

Also Macs only losses as a gator coach are with a backup qb. 8-0 with starter.

Mac has 3 wins against teams with a record above .500. Including this year. His wins have a combined record of 64-79. 7 of our wins last year won 5 games or less.
The GA win we played a QB/Water boy making his first start and no Nick Chubb. Does this count then?
The TN win took us an ungodly amount of 4th down conversions and a Butch collapse to win.
The Ole Miss game is an anomaly. The only true dominant performance.

Do you think 11 wins against teams below .500 at Florida is impressive? I sure as hell don't. We should beat those teams even with a 2nd string QB. That GA win was with Treon as QB. It's hilarious when people use the 14-5 record of Mac as an accomplishment to me. If FSU went 12-0 and only beat 3 teams with a winning record most would say they benefitted from an easy schedule. If you claim 14-5 is an accomplishment with our schedule you might as well go bowling without pins and claim a 300.

If we fire Mac I doubt we get any of those names on the board. Unless Briles is in need an no one has offered. Petrino may be the only other maybe.

 

[t-gator]

To answer the OP's question. We hire the best offensive coach available that has shown he has a pulse when it comes to recruiting.

 

[Wuerffel4Pres]

I would love a dabo hire. I'd go after him. Not sure he would come here but uf is clearly superior to Clemson.

One would think. But that's not the case anymore. Clemson over the last 5 years or so is definitely a superior program in comparison to us. Saying "we are Florida" doesn't work anymore. We can't keep living off our name and the past and expect to be good. It doesn't work that way.

 

[ergator920103]

We've already established he's 2-6 against ranked teams, but 5 of those were with Treon at QB and the other was UT this year (which I actually placed almost solely on the coaching staff).

Didn't Mac claim, in his initial press conference, that he could win with his dog at QB? To me, that removes Treon from the equation...

GTFO with that level headed approach sir.

In fairness, the dog is taller and doesn't catch her own batted down passes and try to re-throw them.
