This is correct. There were also some good moments for Jeff back in 2012. The A&M, ut and fsu games in particular were solid performances to offset some of the negative. Outside of a few passes in the Uk and Lsu games, there really isn't anything that indicates he is suited to play QB at this level. I also think JM has a better handle on things, and more confidence in himself than Weis and WM did with the JB situation. I don't see him wanting to start the mentally destroyed Sr over one of the younger guys that are clearly going to be his guys moving forward.

Driskel has the deer-in-headlights look during the game. Dude just doesn't have what it takes to lead us in the SEC. If Mac thinks he can miraculously change him during one off season, then he's most likely as stubborn as the last guy in charge.

I hope most receivers aren't thinking that.
He's an F$U recruit so he's got a bad brain. Don't read too much into it.

First off, I am fired up about the hire. No, it may not be splashy, and I'm more than okay with that. Here's why: the last 2 "somewhat splashy" hires have been emotional head cases on opposite ends of the spectrum. Meyer won largely by catching lightning in a bottle with Tim,Percy and a host of others in a great recruiting effort. Upon that realization he couldn't duplicate that effort he abruptly departed stage left. And then didn't. And then did again.
Then here comes the loud angry Muschamp, who was apparently to dumb to realize what he didn't have, or too inept to go get it. He made a fool of himself on the sideline, the press room, and I'm guessing in the recruit's living room as well.
I don't think we'll see any of that with Coach McElwain. What I do think we'll see is more of a "plan your work then work your plan" approach that is desperately needed here. I can't see him cursing refs during and fans after a game. My guess is that you won't hear him being an excuse factory like what we've been accustomed to, and more than likely because he won't need to be. He just strikes me as balanced mentally, and by all means that is what we need, regardless of what we want.

Oh I fully expect Mac to give the refs hell every now and then, the only coach I can think of that I dont recall ever doing that is Tony Dungy. I do think he'll be much cooler under pressure though and wont embarrass himself out there.

That'll be the fifth coaching career destroyed, behind Weis, Pease, Roper and Muschamp.

Forget the stars... the sun has set on that pipe dream. I could enjoy a comeback to serviceable contributor to wins coming in from the bench. Starter, I hope not. Helper with the team mojo while the starter takes a blow or walks off a ding, I'd be happy for him. Starter, I really hope not. Time for the young guns from the coral to be offered such an opportunity to make lore or future careers. Just saying.

Right.
Up thread there were questions about what kind of offense he would run. If you read up on him and look at each stop he's made he devises the offense around the talent not the other way around. THAT is the guy I wanted. This is why I feel so optimistic about him. Could I be wrong? Sure. But I feel pretty good this is a great hire for us.

I'm happy Head Coach credentials have walked into the facility. I haven't listened to him yet but hope he has that connect with the fans thing about him. Long, hot summer here we come.
