That includes 2-8 vs ranked teams

Triple digit offenses.

You've heard it all before but i think he peaked in year one.

Hopefully, he takes the Oregon job.

Amazing how he is 6-0 with a good QB and has a much worse record without a good QB.

I want him to recruit better (get some DTs)... and I really want to see how this offense does with a capable QB.

Your statement is disingenuous. Grier wasn't lighting it up either. And outside of Ole Miss those teams sucked donkey dick.

It's not really disingenuous at all. Grier was a RSFr and playing behind a makeshift OL. And his best WR was a true freshman who'd been on campus for 3 months. You can be on board with criticizing the current state of things, while still recognizing that the circumstances have been awful.

My point is that the offense was bad back then and the 6-0 is more a product of playing crap teams than beating anyone significant.

Mac beats the craps teams but struggles against the better teams. Not sure what you don't understand.

If you can't recognize the difference between what this team looked like with Grier vs. what they have looked like without him... then I can't help you. Grier wasn't perfect, but he was much better than anything we have had since. He had the ability to get the ball out early, accurately and make plays with his feet. Do we beat Bama with Grier... no.. I don't think we do. I do think we beat FSU (2 years in a row), Arkansas and LSU (last year). I think the offense looks much better and recruiting is better because we are more relevant and more exciting. I think Grier gets better with a second year in the system as well.

It would have made a huge difference IMO... I don't know how you can't see that.

Agree, but it's still better than losing to the crap teams. Wait, Arkansas was a crap team.

Treon and Grier split a few games. Sorry, there's not enough data to really agree or disagree with you.

How long you pumpers gonna hold onto the Grier thing? but but but if we had Grier...we don't. Mac let him walk. mac rolled the dice with AA and LDR and Franks and Trask. Blech.

Grier wasn't perfect and he did struggle during that 6 game stretch, but the thing he showed me was the ability to read the field and MAKE A DAMNED DECISION faster than anything we've seen in a long time. Not to mention he had a more than adequate arm and ability to scramble. Given more time I think he could have been special. We will never know.

Amazing how he is 6-0 with a good QB and has a much worse record without a good QB.

I want him to recruit better (get some DTs)... and I really want to see how this offense does with a capable QB.
Please everyone is 6-0 against of cupcake early schedule.

Coach, Sas, or even a hammered Alky could go 6-0 to start each year. It takes a special kind of stupid to lose even one game to Bytch the Bandboy.

I want him to recruit better too. We all do. But the question is, CAN he recruit better? So far, his recruiting has been less than encouraging.

I don't know if he can... tbh. He hasn't shown it yet.

Yeah, I don't know if he can suddenly turn it on and light up the trail. I think he's an average to poor recruiter who doesn't seem to have enough good recruiters on staff. This time last year we were all praising Rumph as being an ace recruiter. Boy were we wrong.

I just want to know how Randy Shannon and Chris Rumph are not better recruiters. I thought both were billed as top flight, and both are coaching at positions of need. Especially the DL. We put 1 in the NFL every year and can't get a 4-5* here? WTH?

In my opinion, Mac coaches and recruits like he was guaranteed six years. Only now his sugardaddy Fooley is no longer his boss...
