Not to go full GC on you, but I think you may be a little overly critical of our season. Yes we fell on our face when we lost Grier, but I hope that was simply Mac being stubborn and not mortgaging our future by adapting the offense to Treon. I like to think at the least it showed what Macs offense can do with a QB.

Also, it's easy to be critical looking back on the season, but rememeber what we thought this year was going to be like. The media picked us what 5th or 6th in the EAST. We were left for dead after Muschamp left and Mac breathed some life into that corpse so I am optimistic on the coaching front. Just gotta start recruiting.

It's just amazing how fortunate UF was to be in the position they found themselves. And I think that McElwain right now is getting the credit for that, just like Muschamp got the blame for being equally UNLUCKY.

These things tend to average out though. UF had a lot of good things happen in 2012 and it turned into a 11-2 season. That good luck stopped flowing and UF had the worst season in 30 years the next year.

The season UF just had could have just as easily been a 5-6 win season like we thought instead of a 10 win season. I think that became clear once things fell apart the last half of the season.

I mean, if Austin Hardin kicks that Vanderbilt kick 10 more times, he probably misses all 10 times. The missed PI call against FAU in the end zone at the end was horrendous and any honest gator fan knows that. The fact that UF was even playing in overtime, at home, to a 3-8 FAU team is HORRIFIC.

For this and many other reasons, I am still in wait and see mode. I think the offense should see a big turnaround this year. Time will tell.
