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

McElwain doesn't seem bad at all at using what he has.

I don't think he recruits well enough to compete on an even field with the teams Florida expects to beat.

His class finished pretty highly last year, but I do know he signed a couple guys I'm glad we didn't.

He did get some everyone wanted, but just saying he also signed some guys that seem to be head cases.

Whatever Kirby does at Georgia in the long run, I believe he will keep on recruiting at the level he did last year. Scholarships available, I think they finish top ten every year.

Couple that with also having LSU and FSU on the schedule as teams that usually recruit better than McElwain does, I don't think it looks good.

In the long run at least. But if he strings together two or three years of say two losses to a combo of FSU/LSU/Georgia he's toast. Just don't think they will have the patience with him, if he isn't showing signs of taking them where they want to go.

Dunno maybe he manages to hire some crackerjack recruiting assistant or two. That's what it will take for him to be successful for any period of time. He doesn't seem to have the salespower to make up for any weakness at that on his staff.

Regardless it will take two or three years down there for this to play out.
