So Tell Me about Mac's Signature Win

[aka]

From an external, public perception view the LSU game was a really big win. Despite some thinking we have little or no momentum now, I hate to think of losing that game considering their disrespect of us and all the crap spewed before that game. We nutted up and got it done.

Hard to say. Would it be 2009 when his offense put 490 yards on our #1 defense in the SECCG or when he blew out Texas in the following National Championship game?

I hope you aren't saying he needs multiple number 1 recruiting classes for his offense to work?

Hands down ole miss. They were coming off an Alabama win and we dominated them from start to finish. LSU was a punt fest that we made enough field goals to win.

I agree the game wasnt played well but the ending was great. The entire corndog nation was cocky and had trashed our university and players and fans. We shut their mouths and left them stunned. That and the Tenn game at home....

You have to answer my question before I'll answer your question.

That might be the only time our offense confused anyone.

It confuses me every Saturday in the fall.

Texas game? Mcelroy had what 60 yards passing? Def not that one. Gotta go with his game vs us if choosing between those two

Fair enough. The answer to your question is no... or yes. Not sure the question was a double negative. I was not saying he needs multiple #1 classes, I was answering the thread title.

Haha, they did put it on us in that game. Killed our little dynasty we had going. Still ain't recovered from that butt whipping.

I think we can all look back to that game and point to it as a major breaking point. The wheels came off after that.

Mac's biggest win was somehow convincing Foley that he could win at UF even though he never won his division in the Mountain West Conference and was 22-16. He should never have been on Foley's list but somehow Mac so Mac's biggest win was getting the job at UF and his biggest recruit was recruiting himself to Foley. If only he could recruit players how he recruited himself to Foley maybe we'd be pulling better talent.

The Michigan Win coming up in a few months!!

It was an emotional win for sure. But Mac's best looking game against a good team is the ole miss game. Everybody here thought we were back. Hell, even law did.

If he gets Fields the tide could be turning

A "signature" win is a win that you look back on maybe a year later as a game that turned the tide. Usually a championship or rivalry game that you're the underdog, but not necessarily. It's the win that defines the style of wins that follow. For Pell it was maybe the USC game his 4th year. For Spurrier maybe his first year defeating #4 Auburn 48-7. For Urbs maybe year two NC game. A coaches signature win is determined in hindsight. In any case in general it's a "Signature" win because it's a talented team that the coach has molded in his image to victory. Hall was on probation and had limited talent so he gets a pass. But Zook and Chump had loads of talent and only signature losses. Mac won't be eligible for a signature win until he has a decent QB or his signature will be not being able to develop a QB. Mac has two signature opportunities next year: 1) Beat Michigan and F$U - then maybe Michigan is signature eligible. 2) Win the East and beat F$U then F$U is signature eligible.
If however, you are asking what is Mac's best Gator win then I'd say meh.

Is this a slight bit of optimism I see coming from you? Be careful some would say the pumpers are rubbing off on you.

Bwahahahahaha!!!

I think most of us agree...

I don't want to be ungrateful though. UT 2015 and LSU 2016 were massively enjoyable. As were UGA both years.

Anyone that thinks beating LSU at their place isn't a signature win is insane. Turnovers are part of the game. That is all.
