Nope, I disagree. Now don’t get me wrong, Mac wasn’t a good enough coach for UF, but he was better than Muschamp. If Grier had never been suspended, we likely would have won a lot of games in the last 4 years. He did start 6-0 even though Grier wasn’t all that good yet. And I remember that game against Ole Miss and when we got the ball with about a minute & a half left in the half and thinking how Muschamp would just run out the clock. But Mac put the pedal to the metal & a minute later Powel was sprinting into the endzone & all of Gator Nation was thinking “Now we got a coach!” Turned out not to be the case, but let’s face it, no coach would have thrived with the QB scrap heap that Grier left behind. And no coach would have been able to do anything with the credit card suspensions last year, it was just too much to overcome.
That being said, Mac made the fatal mistake of running off Grier, not having his players under control (credit cards), and of having a ****ty strength & conditioning program. But there were times when he seemed like he can coach. Muschamp was a bum and a fool at virtually all times as far as I was concerned.
