Actually the worst case is Nuss turns it around, wins SEC and National Championship with number 1 offense (leads nation in passing, rushing, YAC, etc.) and is fired.
I was gonna suggest changing to : Nuss should slit his wrist prior to thw 2017 season:New suggested thread title: "Water is wet"
We all blame Nuss. The scary thing is, is the problem really Nuss? No matter what OC worked for Chump, the offensive philosophy stayed the same. I'm of the opinion now that firing Nuss won't fix the problem with the offense since that problem is Mac.
If Mac knows (and how could he not) Nuss isn't cutting it why not take over play calling and fix his offense himself unless he knows he's not capable either.
A great head coach would take the reigns from a coordinator before he allowed him to finish ranked in the 100's 2 years in a row. why hasn't Mac?
You can argue some of that but in the end the proof is in the results.
IMHO I have no doubt that Nuss will be gone if there's not a drastic improvement. As much as I/we give MaryAnn $hit for the Nuss rumor I bet there was fire to that smoke. And Mac has been taking subtle shots at Nuss just like he did at Summers before he was fired.
Any Qb should be good enough to not finish in the 100's especially when you proclaim you can put your dog at Qb and win.Because we haven't had a quarterback. So what would it have mattered?
I posted a couple of quotes earlier. One at mid season, one at the end of the season. The rest are impressions from press conferences etc.I have not noticed any subtle shots at Nuss. The only thing I can remember is Mac mentioning that our play calling needs to be a bit more creative. I took that as Mac simply echoing what everyone was already saying.
What else have you heard?
So here are the possible outcomes for 2017 (I smell a poll) :
Nuss turns it around and is retained
Nuss turns it around just enough to get a job offer somewhere else
Nuss turns it around just enough to make it debatable (worst case scenario)
Nuss doesn't turn it around and is retained
Nuss doesn' turn it around and gets fired.
