Would you fire Coach Jim McElwain?

There's this bizarre thing going on in the Florida Fanbase, that after the Vanderbilt game he should be fired. I think it's absolutely batshit insane, but, I admit I could be wrong. What do people outside the fanbase think?
Do you fire the coach for obvious shortcomings caused by a lack of recruiting from the predecesor (even though he won the East last year with it)? We had three true freshmen on the line in rotation, one upper classmen running back, literally one Quarterback who was a redshirt freshmen (Treon Harris was not a quarterback) and no kicker.
Please let me know if you would fire him after the Tennessee or Vanderbilt game. Thank you for your time.

Isn't the big concern recruiting? Otherwise, I think the guy is a solid coach and just needs another year or two to get the offense rolling.

crazy talk honestly

that's crazy....but I also didn't get why so many people crowned the guy after one decent season last year.

No. He's currently 9-2 in the conference. Strong, on the other hand, is 9-10 and looking at playing OU next.
And people are on our arse for wanting him gone...

Uh, what? He won the East last year with substantially less talent that UT and UGA.

I touched on that a little bit -- he took the 100+ (I don't remember how bad it was) recruiting class last year (after Muschamp left) and got it up to 21st.
He is struggling to recruit, but we were pretty bad after Muschamp left. We're lucky to even be where we are right now, to be quite honest.

No, I'd give him another year with his recruits to see what he can do.

Hell no. He is literally the best coach in the East.

It's way too early but he seems very underwhelming as a coach.

Recruiting isn't where I want it to be, but it's way too early. Every game he has lost has been with a backup QB. There's a good chance he gets 9 or more wins this year (including the bowl game). If the offense continues to stall next year, then we might need to start worrying.

This is ridiculous. He hasn't even been there for a 2 full years. If anything, y'all should still be mad at Muschamp and laughing at Carolina for hiring him.
I am not saying McElwain is the one for y'all, but he wasn't left with much, especially for his style of play. He's already shown he can do a hell of a job without his type of players there (as you noted him winning East last year ). I, personally, think this is dumb of y'alls fan base and no you don't fire him. He still deserves at least one more year, after this one. By that third season, coaches should start having their players in place and the team should be more of a reflection of that coach by year 3. Personally, with what Muschamp left him with, I think he should get a good 4 years to get everything in place and get some players actually capable of making plays.

He has had some bad QB luck, that has to be accounted for. His recruiting is an issue, but that can be remedied by hiring a strong closer. Way too early IMHO. Guy in the cube behind me is a Gator alum, and says the same.

Horrible time to fire him. He had no qbs when he got there.
You'd look as classless and incompetent as Texas.
Texas is everything you DON'T want to be. They're ruining their program by just entertaining the idea.
Hopefully Florida is more about long term success and continuity.

Because you've been wanting him gone for 2 years now. He's never had the support previous coaches have had. How old is that fire Charlie thread on shaggy?
Texas would prove it's own administrative issues with a Charlie firing. They cant even be confident in their own decisions, or even if they make a decision, they continually question it.
Sounds like administration issues are bigger than the football issues. You even had to fire your AD barely one year into the job. How far does it Go? And now a top booster is running your AD? What a mess.

Recruiting in Florida will be easy once he gets it rolling, he is great at developing qb's and i think will have good success in the future.
Posted on 10/4/16 at 11:04 am to StrawsDrawnAtRandom
No, he absolutely should not be fired. Honestly, his Colorado State teams could probably beat his Florida teams, and that is on Muschamp.
