So clearly the offense is no better than it was. So is there anything that can be done about this?

A. Is there anyone on the staff who might make a good OC?

B. Is there anyone not on the staff available and NOT named Steve Spurrier Sr. who UF might hire on Sunday to take over this offense?

C. Could perennial claimed solution simplifying the blocking scheme actually work in UF's case?

Or do we just have to ride it out, watch UF maybe win the East, but know what is coming the last game of the season and then in Atlanta.

We won't win the East, so I guess we'll need to invent a new "Championship" this year, maybe "3rd in the SEC East Champions"

How about just making some in game adjustments? Anybody ever heard of an audible?

Nope, enjoy the good parts of the season, nothing can be done, this is Mac's offense no matter who is the OC.

This is my experience too. OCs and DCs tend to reflect what the head coach wants. So I suspect the looming off season shuffle of OC will only get McElwain another year, but won't change anything. It will however make a handy excuse for the offense in McElwain's 4th season.

No. Jujuan Seider is the only legitimate Power 5 coach on offense and he is more of a recruiter and less of a tactician. When the others are fired soon they will likely be sunbelt bound again.

We arent winning the east.

This will be a team lucky to be bowl eligible.

I said it in the off-season...Mac fires Nuss at some point and buys himself another year.

I feel like a broken record saying it, but call quicker developing plays and route trees, run some middle screens, and run draws. Those are the only ways to counter a terrible offensive line. That's short term. Long term? Shake up the offensive coaching staff.

A fast physical def line of 5 star athletes exposed us yesterday. We werent ready for it. Our line will be better. (i feel it in my bones).........
Jordan will make the line look better. wtf do I know..............give me a patsy to play so I can feel a little better. Beat UT and we are all
partying again. How about we just watch Golden Corral football this year and dream.

This year is going to be rough no matter what; however, if Mac fires Nuss sometime this month and calls his own plays, then it will at least look like he's trying to win.

Wait, wasn't Mac supposed to be more involved in the play calling this year?
