Retain v Terminate - that decision. At a minimum it will be a decision on whether to allow the staff to remain intact or force Mac to let some of them go.

Mac is most likely at UF for TWO more years...so dont go there and he is not going to be forced to fire or hire anyone unless he wants to. Its just crazy talk after a bad loss. Two SECCGs and two bowl games and the new AD is going to threaten him? Im laughing now UF...come on dude, you are smarter than that.

Helfrich went to the playoff and won 33 games in 3 years. He had one bad year, which was this year. He got canned.
I am going there, just like many other athletic programs have. The foolish thing here would be to write off such a possibility.
I am 100% confident that if the bowl game looks like a bag of arse, he will be forced to make changes, and that's his best case scenario. Look at the old media guides: Spurrier was HBC, OC, QB Coach. Mac can call plays and do without Nuss if he has to. And, he may have to.
It's not crazy talk. The offense is not loaded, but it is better off personnel-wise yet its production has gotten worse.
Laugh all you want. Let me know when you want to join rational thinking.

CFB is in a very dangerous time. Between the arms race for facilities and the playoff system, we are creating an environment where the joy and passion tied to regular rivalries, division races, conference titles, and traditional OOC matchups is all being usurped by Strength of Record for the playoff ranking. A bubble is going to burst and the only survivors will be those in great financial shape and those playing at a high level. UF is taking a huge risk with facility upgrades and a team that is not playing at a high level.

Recruiting is not going well at the moment. The offense is abysmal. Trajectory, best case scenario, is horizontal. It's one thing to be flat and stable when you dominate the world. For UF's current position, horizontal is not good.
