How is this for Realism = Mac's 1st year was suppose to be lucky to go 7-5 = 7 wins but he got 10 & COY.
So 2nd year after 7-5 would rationally be 8-4. We essentially won 10 & back to the SEC CG. 3rd year, for such a crummy HC, lucky if Mac got us 9 wins (all progress) ... but Mac hasn't been knocked off the 9 or 10 win season yet.??
Yes, it's true that the Offense is insufferable and Mac's not firing his 100+ ranked OC is terrible stewardship. Plus it verifies that the extreme weakness of the SEC East accounts for high # of wins. Still, the 'knowledgeables' started him out at 7 wins and if the end of a 1st season were6-6, they'd agree that 6 wins was about what they expected.
There seems to be to much slant towards "nice" coaches and existential CFB.
