Read between the lines of what was said. There were players in key positions who were content with where they were and not putting in the extra effort to get better. The only thing that can get rid of those types of players is competition and that's why recruiting is paramount to what Coach Mac and his staff want to do. It's a broken record at this point, but we all know this team is in the playoffs if a certain player at a certain position doesn't make a monumental choice to hurt himself and the team. It is what it is.
The only thing I criticize Coach Mac for is how he handled the QB situation after it was readily apparent that Treon wasn't the answer. I know Coach Mac and his staff are married to the belief that you play in games how you practice during the week, but I'd like to point out that being married to that dogma means that Danny Wuerffel would've never seen the field playing for Coach Mac, as he was notorious for looking horrible in practice. I'm not saying that Treon should've been benched permanently, but there's no logical reason to keep the other guys on the bench without even seeing how they'll perform in an actual game environment. Taking a series or two away from Treon to see if the guys behind him can manage to lead us to a three-and-out just as well as Treon wouldn't have hurt us at all, and there's the possibility that we find a diamond in the rough who elevates his play when the bullets are live. Of course this is just my personal opinion and I doubt it'll ever change; just a different philosophy from someone who played football and saw more than his fair share of practice warriors who couldn't bring it on game day.
And in case I didn't make it clear enough in the first paragraph, yes I am accusing Treon of not putting in the extra effort to get better. This is the same guy who in his freshman year after saving the day at Tennessee uses that momentum to land himself rape charges and a suspension until charges were dropped due to lack of evidence. This is the same guy who spent his off season driving around town without a license and finding himself around weed and cops at the same time. Was he the only one doing this? Of course not, but I don't doubt for a second guys like Morrison and Davis, who put every ounce of sweat and blood they could into this season, look at what guys like Treon and others did to prepare for this season and feel a bit upset and betrayed. It wasn't just Grier that let everybody down, it's everyone else who didn't take it upon themselves to really accomplish something special this season. I think that culture is going to change here quickly, and I can't wait to see the stench of Muschamp and Meyer officially removed from the locker room for good.
