Im willing to give him another year
But id like to see the recruiting step it up, especially in the state of Florida.
This will be the first yr with a QB. Next yr will be the better sample with the players in the system with a yr under their belt.

People barking about recruiting...well my O&B glasses are probably blurring my vision...but I see things a whole lot differently.
Mac has hit the JUCO trail better than any Gator coach imo and thats important...it usually flies under the radar in recruiting, but has been important. Senior transfer QB Appleby is another example of getting talent here and I shudder to think what would have happened if he hadnt been here when LDR went down. Im a little concerned about defensive recruiting...but Im sure we will land some good ones and already well on our way to getting a lot of DBs which was necessary and the last class had LBs as one of the important areas....Reese is going to be a stud, Joseph & Moon ditto imo.
When people complain about OL....its difficult to recruit when you just had 3 true frosh play and start games. Kids wanna play right away and look at our depth chart or have rivals point out our roster.
Imo 3 yrs is not enough to really judge a coach if we are having mostly success...4 yrs is the benchmark and by then we will know what we have and there should be improvement. Mac knows he has to produce, every coach in the SEC knows that and except for Vandy...expectations are high. Hard to judge Vandy because they are so focused on academics and really dont have much of an athletic dept or spend any funds on sports.
I myself think we have the right coach in place and he has a demeanor that relates well to players and remember he still doesnt have his own players yet on the roster and every coach wants their own kids. We can be 7-1 after UGA and then we will see if the players and coaches have learned the lessons of being on the road against tough SEC opponents when we travel to Ark.
