Is the McElwain honeymoon over?

[QueenCityGator]

Enough of this pathetic offense and close games against inferior competition. I'm neither saying nor advocating that he should be fired, but Treon can take only so much blame for our performance. I'm not having fun watching this team, and one reason why he was hired was to inject joy into Gator football. I know wins and losses is what ultimately matters, but there's a reason so few of us look fondly on that 11-2 season in 2012.
I watched the post-game interview. He seemed a little too loosey-goosey. He should be angry (but not volcanic) that we almost lost as a #8 team to a 2-8 Conference USA team with pathetic output on offense and kicking special teams.

Name and town if you wish to opine.

Yeah, let's go ahead and start the coaching search.

Let's just say the bloom is turning brown....very brown

 

[Double Gator Dad]

Are you serious?

We are nowhere near as good as our record. 10-1 is amazing

 

[SaltGator]

I don't think so. He's 10-1 with a shoestring O line and a WR playing QB.

 

[MJMGator]

This is why we are viewed as one of the worst/most spoiled fan bases in the country.

 

[Homer J]

Heck NO! Let's let him get his own QB in there and his own players in there before we start bashing him. We are playing with house money, this season.

This guy just keeps on going after every setback he's been giving.

Not enough O-lineman to practice in the spring
We lost our best O-lineman in the spring
Our #2 RB transfers before the season starts
We lose out #1 QB for a year

I think that we will get a good graduate transfer QB in, after the season. Now that players see that we are a QB away from a championship, they will line up to play for the gators.

This is NOTHING like 2012. If you can't see the difference between this year and that year then I just can't help you

 

[I Have No Friends :(]

QueenCity is trying to steal the crown from FireFoley. Nice effort.

Exactly

I genuinely do want to know what the difference is between 2012 and this season. Both teams had great defenses and mediocre-at-best offenses. 2012 had a better kicker (the rest of special teams evens out). Both seasons, we played down to inferior competition and won games which our stats indicated we should have had a higher likelihood of losing. The major difference I see is that this year we won the SEC East.

 

[TN G8tr]

For him to take us to 10-1 with this offense is nothing short of miraculous. That's coaching. He can coach em but he isn't blocking or passing either. Mac had got this. Chump would have shat the bed.

Aw c'mon MJM we are no worse than any other rabid fanatics. Most would like to see IMPROVEMENT after 11 games.

 

[GatorStud]

Mac might need to get back to showing a little fire in the belly and scale back a little on the love, choice and peanut butter sandwiches.

 

[maheo30]

The difference between 2012 and this year is clear? Mac doesn't want to play this brand of offensive football. Treon's physical limitations are forcing his hand. Chump wets himself with excitement watching this kind of football.

 

[MidwestChomp]

Yeah, I'm sure he's happy winning in OT against a 2-8 team. Would you prefer the blow a gasket Muschamp type?

 

[Chomper]

We have a 10-1 coach, SEC East Champ, so yeah, let's fire him and find someone else. Can't believe some of these so-called Gators. Fricking disgusting.

We almost had to....that is what I've been told...

 

[Bernardo de la Paz]

If we're ready to turn on a guy that will likely be a finalist for coach of the year I think we have to be one of the absolute worst fan bases.
