Hey guys, obviously I'm a Coach Mac fan because of his time at Alabama. I thought he was a great hire for UF and I was excited to see how he'd do.
Two East titles later and there's a lot of differing opinions on his ability as a coach. The East has been down during the back to back SECCG appearances, and UF wants to compete for National Championships. Coach Mac, an offensive coach, hasn't gotten your offense going. Granted the QB situation has made it tough (Grier looked really good, but then he was gone) but he has to recruit and make the most out of what he has. I really like Franks' potential if coached up properly and think he can be a big time player for you guys in the seasons to come.
Luke Del Rio is another former Bama guy. He was well respected as a walk-on among the fanbase as a guy who could maybe be a little like Greg McElroy. Not an impressive arm, but a really smart guy who could win you games. Last season he didn't give you the results you'd all like, but this past Saturday he did come in and get your offense moving.
You currently have the #7 ranked recruiting class, though teams will move up and down between now and NSD. Last season you brought in the #11 ranked class. Coach Mac and your coaching staff may not be getting those top 3 classes, but they're definitely bringing in talent. It's on him and his hires to coach them up and devise gameplans to win football games. He's done that, but not to the expected level. There's nothing wrong with wanting a National Championship and not being satisfied with two losses in SEC Championship games.
I like the Gators, I enjoy the Bama/UF SEC Title games. It's always fun and the Swamp is a great football environment. I hope y'all get back to dominating the East, and I hope Coach Mac can be the coach to do that, but it's difficult to determine if he can be.
So if he and UF do part ways, who is the answer? Sometimes you've gotta take a chance on a guy, who do you Gator fans see your school realistically landing that can perhaps turn you from a 10 win SEC East Champ to a 12 win SEC Champ?

On Del Rio: No, he did what he needed to do. He's 5 - 1 as a starter, with his only loss coming from when he was really banged up.
As for McElwain: He's rebuilding an offense, and he just needs that one quarterback. I think he'll get it in Matt Corral, but a lot of people don't realize how hard it is to build an offensive line from almost nothing. We haven't had a quarterback since Grier that wasn't either a transfer or a freshman.
Franks will be scary when he can learn the offense better, but he obviously wasn't ready.
