If the Gators lose to Kentucky, does McElwain lose his job?

So here is my scenario:
Florida will probably lose to Michigan to start the season. Then they have a gimme with Northern Colorado. Lets ignore the Tennessee game, as I don't really think honest fans on either side are sure what will happen here.
Then, the Gators play at Kentucky. This is a Kentucky team that is trending in the right direction, and could come into this game undefeated if they can pull out a win at South Carolina.
If Florida loses this game, which could happen, it would snap the 30 game streak, which is the longest in SEC history. Florida will probably lose at least 2 more games and probably won't finish better than 8-4 for the season. I could see them dropping at least a pair of the games in their schedule to LSU, aTm, Georgia, SC or FSU. Is that enough to push Butter Teeth out at Florida?
I'm not trying to argue that Tennessee will finish better than Florida, or that our coach is better than yours. I would love to see Tennessee move on from Butch and I think a lot of Gator fans feel similarly about McElwain. I'm mostly curious about the current security of his position in the eyes of the fans. Yes, he was two SEC East division championships, but considering the performances in the SEC Championship games and against Power 5 teams (1-3, including Bowls), it doesn't seem like McElwain is the one.
Is a pair of SEC East divisional champs enough to save him at this point if he loses to the Cats and finishes third or worse in the East?

the fact that he's won the East the past two seasons, regardless of how he got there, has bought him at least another year after this year unless he does something like go 5-7.

Here's my scenario:
Butch loses to Muschamp for the 6th straight season.

No, but I do see Kentucky winning in a bloodbath. Florida might go 4-12 this year.

I think your scenario is shite....but we could lose to UK....that will be much tougher than Meatchicken and the hillbillies...so we go 11-1 and UT goes 8-4 maybe. Jones will be gone after this year....hire orange pants back? At least he could catch passes on the sideline.

I see 7-5 for the Gators in '17.
While I know UGA certainly can't ever count on beating them, I see Florida losing to Georgia, LSU, and Florida State.
I think they also lose 2 of the remaining games, most likely to Michigan or Tennessee.

Well, there are a lot of Gator fans and a lot of them are insane. A few of them are here.
None of my Gator friends in life want him fired.
You can find plenty of extreme fans on message boards to feed your beliefs no matter what they are. It doesn't take long either.

McElwain should win this game and win rather easily Michigan returns like 8 starters total. They might be the Power 5 team with the least returning starters.
If Florida loses to Michigan by any more than a single score Mac will start feeling the heat.

Kentucky will win the east this year.

The fact he's gotten 9-10 wins the last two season with that shithole of a roster is impressive.

Yes and it can't happen fast enough. His recruiting, roster management and staff hires have been worse than WM. WMs recruiting saved him from dropping FAU, VU, ECU, and UT shitting the bed 2 years in a row gifted him the East. He's in over his head. Only the blind refuse to see that when he leaves the New HC will have a complete rebuilding project due to Mac taking projects at QB and DE, and under recruiting at DT, LB, S, OL

Coach Mac is not getting fired for going 8-4 , he could win the east going 8-4 with losses to Michigan , FSU , Kentucky and another SEC team.
