Who do you want to replace Mac?

[williston_gator]

Yep. You can tell we lost a game.

 

[GatorTAG]

Mac said field position was the problem. Yet his best player fair catches 2 punts at the 1 yard line. Why? First time could be a mistake. Do it a second time and it's coaching. Special teams were a debacle all day and that contributed to the poor field position. I asked last week when was the last time we tried to block a kick or punt. I've come to the conclusion we just don't practice special teams at all. These coaches are a bunch of misfits that don't take it seriously. I'll be glad when they're gone.

Who's available? Art Briles is currently unemployed and looking for a job. If you'd take Petrino with his baggage I'll take Briles with his.

I think we see how he "learns" and "responds" to these "life lessons" he just experienced as he preaches to the players ad nauseam. HIS team had an epic meltdown in ALL areas. HE is accountable for righting the ship; whether it be through his game management and prep, coaching changes, player development, recruiting, continuing to weed out the deadwood...and alike. If we do not see a bigger step change he needs to pack his Jiff & Smuckers and spread his platitudes elsewhere.

In all kinds of weather...Go Gators

I can see where you're coming from here but after last weeks antics prior to the game and during the game.....I am of the opinion that these guys run their yap to much and it's all about ME. And I mean the players. That's basic coaching 101. Stand on the 10 fair catch signal and if you have to back up, let it go. I think that is totally on Callaway. These guys need an eye opener from the top of the staff to the bottom. Over confidence and cockiness were our downfall yesterday in additon to most of the coaching.

No since about talking coaching candidates as there will not be a search for one. This year's lot of coaches is irrelevant.

 

[TN G8tr]

We once had a HBC who got embarrassed in a game or two, including one in the biggest game of them all. He went out and got the best DC available and payed the man what it took.

I don't blame Mac for this first staff. He clearly wanted better people, even made noises about getting top hires at DB and WR then after numerous rejections, we ended up with the shiite we got. I'm sure Nuss was his guy from the beginning but a good coach knows what to do. I'm not sure how wedded he is to Side Hat.

We will see what happens. His decisions at the end of this year will determine his fate.

I agree. Mac is smart enough to know when to cut someone loose. We'll see how the rest of this season pans out. But hopefully they all learn. If you're kickin' azz with what is working you go with it. Then you can start milking the clock in the 4th, but after the half, geez. Personally I think this will stick in his craw for some time. They needed that killer instinct and foot on the gas like in the Ole Piss game last year.

[-THE DUDE-]

DUCK STRUCK PULLED TRUCK!! That was the worse collapse I've ever seen by the Gators. It was like the whole team went to sleep, from the coaches to the players. The secondary was so bad, it made an all American passer out of Dobbs. Dawson wasn't around. Teez falls down. And who and the hell was calling plays on offense. I wish we could blame it on turnovers but it was total ineptitude from top to bottom. i was in a coma after watching that s...t.

Worse than the Choke at Doke? Hardly...

Lure Petrino away from Loserville with all the coeds he can bang.

Very few are going to admit it, but this is the obvious answer. Everywhere he goes, things turn around immediately.

I came here to see who was on overreaction/suicide watch. You clowns never disappoint

 

[Tunaboat]

Can you imagine what Saban would do after a loss like this? Dude would be out of his mind, corral his coaches for an all-night reaming and tell the media to go the hell away while he cleans house. Now - what will Ol' Hee-Haw do?
Well we just kind of messed up a little bit there and we'll kind of weak it a little bit after we look at some film and we'll be OK.

This team quit with a 21-3 lead in Knoxville. Unbelievable. Mac will get one more year and he's gone.

I get your drift, that was a horrible loss. It was even worse than that in my view. I put that on Spurrier playing it safe coupled with FSU, (and a much superior FSU team than UT) getting lucky. This was worse.

 

[It's Great]

Jon Gruden or Phillip Fulmer is the right answer. Ive seen this game on Volquest.

Gruden took a prefab Bucs to the super bowl and won, but did have some other good years. Recruiting would be nice.

But Fulmer? No way mayne

Where have you BEEN, Db?

One bad loss and this place goes full-retard, good to know!

The Choke at Doak was a tie 31-31, cause Bobby didn't have the balls to go for 2 at the end. If he had, fsu would have won since we couldn't stop anybody's grandmother at that point. So this was WAY worse.

Watch the replay of his post-game pressor. You're pretty spot on with Mac's response. Except that he talked more about the players failures and nothing about the coaching failures.

The coaching staff went full retard. We're just following suit.

What you're seeing is:
1. Lot of people were sitting the fence on Mac after the abysmal end of last year and the subpar recruiting.
2. This game pushed them off the fence. No confidence in Mac.
3. The realization that we likely wouldn't see a coaching change until after next year.

Take me to the padded room please!
