less adaptable than he should be. What I mean by that is college football is never going to be ideal roster wise (unless you're at Bama) and he's been slow to tailor his offense to guys that don't fit perfectly and/or just don't fit his system at all.
Classic example: Roper did a much better job when he coached Treon.
I think this is inaccurate. McElwain did tailor the offense for Treon's first few games and he even talked about it in pressers. Towards the end of the season when it was clear Treon was simply not going to be a successful QB(or our QB of the future), he started to run "his" offense, or the system he wanted to install for the future -- because the rest of the offense needed to continue to progress and he needed to make sure they understood his system.

Mac said at a presser that he was not changing the offense for one guy and screw the devolpment of the other ten guys.

We'll have to agree to disagree (tho we do agree a whole lot) I think Mac stuck to his system because he already had the East wrapped up and deemed getting players used to the system for next year far more important that helping a bad QB in Treon.
Roper did so much better with Treon, imo.
That said, I think's better for coaches to adapt. The latter half of UF's season didn't need to be so bad,
