Seriously? No way no changes. I'm dumfounded, is Mac a Democrat just not seeing the truth??? Cmon... Does anyone reflect on their own decisions anymore?

If changes have been made, or are going to be made, the coach speak answer is going to be "No". If changes are not going to be made the answer is "No". So the answer is "No." We will have to wait and see what happens.
I don't think changes are going to be made because Mac believes things are going in the right direction. The Iowa game is going to be not just another meaningless bowl game. If the Gators bomb against Iowa then there is going to be pressure for changes to be made or the noise is going to get louder than a front row seat at a duck callers' convention. If the Gators win then Mac will feel he has enough rope to continue to hang himself without making changes.
Usually this is the type of bowl game that the Gators bomb. Usually this type of game is seen as a meaningless game for the Gators after losing to FSU and Alabama in another disappointing season. For Iowa it is seen as an important game in Florida for a bland but solid Midwestern program. Iowa sees it another chance to get their program on national TV this time with a Florida and SEC audience watching. Usually the incentive is going to be with Iowa. Usually. But because of the way things have gone down the last few years in Gainesville, Mac and the Gators are going to have to make a stand in Tampa and try to reverse this thing.

Who knows what will happen, but come on, do you really expect him to get up there and say he's firing a bunch of coaches after the game? That's just not gonna happen at a press conference before a bowl game.

Staff review is always an ongoing process.

'We're always looking to improve here at the University of Florida and will review any opportunities if they become apparent after the season'. But when your communication skills suck a$$, it's best to just smack your lips and say No.

It has gotten to the point where I just do not care anymore. The only change that would get me excited is if Butters was leaving. Beyond that everything else is pointless. It took way too long to get rid of Fooley. I just hope we don't have to wait too long for Butters to pack his bags!

Never thought I'd say this but I have absolutely ZERO confidence in anything we're doing at UF anymore. Facilities is sh*t...staff is sh*t...recruiting is sh*t...and by the decision making (of the people who matter at UF) it doesn't seem like they give a sh*t if we ever win in football again. Smh... it doesn't matter who the coach is it will be years before we catch up with the top tier programs and start competing for National Titles again!

I agree that you'll never see that. There's nothing to gain from opening that can of worms in this setting. I do, however, think there are a host of ways to answer a question like that without speaking in absolutes.
Definitively saying no crushes the hopes of many that feel a change could be really beneficial. And now if he does make a move, it just dampens his credibility that much more. I think that's really the complaint here. Like so many other things with Mac, not the end of the world necessarily, but could've been handled better.

Why not? It might make some of them put some effort into keeping their jobs....

Yeah, no coach will do that. I believe some changes will happen, but nuss probably stays and we get locksley. Hopefully we dump nord and probably summers as well, they just can't recruit.

I'm kind of like a lot of posters here, as long as Mac's the head coach, I'm kind of "meh". I have felt this way since the last half of his first year. And as someone else opined, I'm not sure the UF administration gives a crap.
