“I felt like in Will Muschamp’s tenure, when he signed on he inherited a group of recruits that were recruited to play in Urban Meyer’s system. Charlie Weis was hired to become the offensive coordinator and run a pro-style offense. I wasn’t sure that it was the best fit. I thought it was a square-peg, round-hole scenario.
“Jim McElwain, however, if Treon Harris is the starting quarterback, he’ll incorporate those zone reads and do some more out of the shotgun, movement-type plays, anything to confuse the defense. ... I look at that offense, it seemed a little beaten down at times last year. It didn’t seem very confident, Jeff Driskel especially. So turning over a new page, I’m excited for what he’s going to do in Gainesville.â€
“Contrary to what other coaches have said and contrary to what people think, there were very few talented players,†McElroy said. “You have some pieces in place, yes, but they’re going to be young and have to develop. If they get to six, seven, eight wins this year, that would be an incredible job by Jim McElwain.
“I think in the near future they will eventually get to that point where they have the depth to be able to compete in a conference that is incredibly physical, but right now they’re not even close to being there.â€
yeah, yeah. dead horse. i know. but he's noting just how far down we were left by chump and how hard Mac is going to work to get us back. and 7 wins is about where i put us. 9 or 10 is beyond the pale.
