Coach Mac is a Damn good coach and knew he would do well. He was way under rated and glad to see him doing well. Nuss too.

This was a little premature. Thanks for the halftime jinx.

Anytime.


I so did not see that kind of playcalling coming the second half.

There was a lot to what was going on the second half. While I'm trying to dig myself out from under my mountain of grading, I listen to WRUF a lot. No one apparently wants to throw anyone under the bus, but I'm hearing more and more of the sportscasters and journos over there saying the a lot of the plays you saw were not as they were called. Appleby did have one or two brain farts on audibles he called, there were issues with blocking even among the TEs and RBs at times, and the offensive line was apparently also getting assignments completely wrong.

That's not excusing the coaching or indicting it. I'm only saying that I don't think the plan was run, run, pass on third and 8 even though that's what happened.

Currently Maryland has as many of the top 25 players in the state of Florida as we do committed.

With Mac its not a fight between us and FSU or even us and Miami- its a fight between to see if Florida is better than out of state schools in its own state, that's how horrible a recruiter Mac is- FSU is first choice, then Ohio State, then Miami, then Florida/Bama/Clemson all fight it out- with Florida usually taking the lower profile recruits and missing on the blue chippers. This isn't an exaggeration, look at the 247 composite Top 50 in the state of Florida from 2016- Mac's "bump year" usually a coaches best class until he wins a conference or national title:

FSU signed: #4, #8, #11, #19, #24, #30, #34
Miami signed: #13, #18, #23, #27, #28, #33, #36, #37, #39, #43
Clemson: #10, #12, #31
Ohio State:#2,#17, #25, #41
Ole Miss: #1, #29,#47
Florida signed the #6, #9, #22, #26

All but 48-50 were at least 4 star players.

So basically we signed the 4th best class of players from the state of Florida!

In Mac's bump year we had the 12th best class nationally- behind 6 teams either in the SEC or on our annual schedule or both.

Montana... Honest question.

If McElwain sat in your living room with another CFB coach. Which one would impress you more? I'm thinking he wouldn't impress me much at all. I'd have him in the bottom tier of coaches in the SEC and way behind guys like UM, Harbaugh, Jimbo, Dabo, Stoops, Petrino, Richt, Strong, etc. This guy is losing at recruitment because who the hell wants to follow him? He looks like Gomer Pyle and can't even smile without blinding you in yellow butter.

And your dumbass still thinks we're going to go 11-1... I've made it very clear when Pyle was first hired that I didn't like the choice. I hate posting in the Florida forum here because of delusional Sunshine pumpers like you. Everything is fantastic with you. You don't mind being mediocre. You think the HC should have a lifetime contract of suckitude. Champ sucked and it took years before you admitted it. You were sucking on his tit for one more year even after he ruined the program. You always have an excuse for these clowns.

if we go 11-1 this year you will look like the idiot you are and so kindly pound salt. The creeps come out of the woodwork after a loss.

I mean he is a bit "aw shucks" but so was Bowden and he recruited like a mother until he got old. Bobby might have had rings by then though.

I want to say that I think he's better coach than Boom but I'm worried I might be blinded by my bias towards offense- on the whole would it shock anyone if after 2 seasons they have essentially the same record? (They won't after 3--I can see 5 or maybe even 6 losses post bowl in 2017 but not 8 that's just not happening again barring similar injuries)

I worry a hell of a lot about the defense which has always seemed more player dependent than the offense (average talent on offense can be schemed around, certainly not by Boom or Nuss and probably not Mac but by an innovative offensive coach)

To be fair, some people only post when they are really upset. We all vent differently.

Richt and Strong don't even belong in that group you listed, that is hilarious.

The guy went 10-2 last year in the reg season. Let's let him finish year 2 before throwing him to the wolves. Just because YOU don't like him, doesn't mean he isn't advanced in x's and o's and isn't a good HC.

I never said he wasnt a great X's and O's guy. His recruiting has me worried. This is UF, you shouldnt be losing to friggan sorry arse Auburn for in-state recruits. Especially OL which is our biggest need.

Hell, Im down for calling Les Miles to coach our oline. He's done it before and can recruit his arse off.

Why do people not include the postseason? This isn't directed at you dmb. The SECCG doesn't count now? I've seen that same thinking on several boards and from different fanbases. I guess it's only counts if you win lol
