We keep saying he went 9-0 against teams with our starting QB. The overall record of those 9 teams was 42-44 with only 2 of those teams with a winning records. If you take away ole miss and Tenn the record is 23-37.Out of the 6 wins with Grier last year only two of the teams we played finished with more than 5 wins.

Our wins without our starting QB were against teams with an overall record of 20-29 with only one team with a winning record. If you took Ga out they are 10-26.

All our loses have come against teams with winning records at years end. Since Mac was hired he is 13-5 with only 3 of his wins against teams with winning records.

We are beating teams that Florida should beat even with our 2nd string QB.

That is really my concern I am not ready to give up on Mac it is too early but I don't look at his wins with his starting QB as anything to get excited about yet. All but 2 of those wins came against teams that were down right miserable. And we had to scratch by with wins vs Vandy and FAU at home.

I haven't forgotten the way we finished last year. Many of us were pissed at how we played after we locked up the East. We said our team had no fight no leader. Mac said they were playing like dead fish. This year we start 3-0 our players run their mouths and then we play like dead fish again in the second half against Tenn. Mac in the post game presser talks about what the players will learn from this what about the coaching staff learning something from it as well. The blame can go all the way around but the coaches are not without sin.

I'm pissed about how we lost the Tennessee game too. We had it won and blew it. It's on the coaches, and it's on the players.

I don't give a shite about the Michigan game last year. We had nobody that wanted to play in that game. Nobody. Nobody wanted to watch and nobody wanted to play. It meant nothing.

You can spin it all you want, but the fact is Mac is 9-0 with his starting quarterback.

Mac is 10-0 against teams with a losing record. We're not losing to bad teams.

That is a low bar and it needs to be higher, and it will get higher the longer Mac is here, but for now he has us competing and, as you saw our potential in the first half, playing well against quality opponents. Some of you need to realize that losing games sucks, but the answer to losing games is not "FIRE THE COACH", it's about improving from the loss, moving on, and seeing them get better from it. The 2006 team got better and better after losing to Auburn. The 2008 team damn sure got better.

And to whoever it was that complained about Macs recruiting:

He had two months after he was hired to salvage a recruiting class. When he took over the class was ranked 107th in the country. We signed two five stars on signing day, two 4 star running backs, and finished the class ranked 25th. That's incredible. And that's Will Muschamps fault that the class was so bad when Mac took over.

Last year, we finished with the #12 recruiting class, but we signed quality offensive linemen, we signed the #1 kicker in the country, the #1 JUCO RB, the #2 WR (and 3 more 4 star WR's, the #1 DE, and the #3 QB. We filled needs.

Right now, our biggest need is DB. We have four DBs committed that are ranked four stars, with two more on the verge of flipping to the good guys or committing to us. We have several offensive linemen looking at us that we're leading for or in the top 2 for. Mac's recruiting problems are a myth. And anybody concerned about our current class right now doesn't get how recruiting works.

So I'll say it again TJ. Stop. Being. A. Whiny. arse. Bitch. It's. Going. To. Be. Okay. Mac is a good X's and O's guy. The team didn't quit, they got their arse beat. It happens. Let's move on now.
