Mac outperforms Muschamp in on the field results, the only thing that really matters.

Yop, yop.

Haaaaaaaay

Hell yeah

4 star CB from Cali Elijah Blades tweets a photo of himself in Gator gear and says "for those of you wondering about who I'm committed to #UF"

He can definitely be a NT...hard to move that frame...but Im sure the coaches want him to lose some of that weight.

One site showed him at 340

He's got a lot of bad weight. Will take him anyway. Reel would be a take at this point. Slaton has a ton of raw potential at DT.

doesn't matter, Mac is the troof, son.

Who recruited the majority of that defense?

Who recruited the majority of WM's defense?

I know all about the records he set. Their records and results are almost identical. Mac made the SECCG yay and we got our asses beat 83-31.

Being in the championship and losing is better than having never gone at all.

Mac is winning because he's beating teams with less talent and the coaches he's facing now suck in comparison to when WM took over.

LSU has consistently had top 15 classes the last I don't know how many years and he beat them on the road. Georgia, too, has more talent than us.

Iowa beat Michigan this year, destroyed Nebraska and was on a winning streak and we dominated them without a hitch.

WM could at least recruit a defense. The only thing he could get right. Mac is at the bottom of the coaching barrel with WM. That's my point.

It appears that McElwain is recruiting more quality players, simply with less stars, and those with 5 stars are looking pretty good.

Bellyache all you want, McElwain won a good game today and is breaking records all over the place (defensive records).

Our defense looks better than at any point in Muschamp's career and he's had to play like 5 freshmen at that side of the ball due to injuries.

You're just wrong, you've been wrong, and you will continue to be wrong. McElwain has two ten win seasons with notable wins over good and great teams and we're trending up. OLine looks better, receivers look better (they're finally breaking tackles) and running backs are improving -- everything we needed.

The defense, despite losing 5 starters and several backups to those starters, just broke a goddamn Outback Bowl record.

frick man, you slobber all over Harbaugh yet McElwain beat (absolutely stomped) the only common opponent the two teams had and our coach came out on top and the only thing you can do is bitch and moan some more?

This has nothing to do with recruiting TJ, but in regards to your post, why do you think Mac's had putrid offenses these first two years? Logic tells you it's because the previous coach left absolutely nothing for Mac to work with, so he had to completely overhaul and rebuild the offense. And despite that complete rebuild, he was able to win 10 games basically in his first two seasons, finish the season ranked in the top 25, and top 15 this year, and managed to get more facility improvements than Muschamp ever could. And the recruiting is beginning to get better.

How about this?

Nick Saban in his first two years at Bama: 19-8, 5-5 vs Top 25, 1-1 in bowl games, 1 SECCG appearance

Jim McElwain in his first two years at Florida: 19-8, 3-7 vs Top 25, 1-1 in bowl games, 2 SECCG appearances

Interesting. I seem to remember something along the lines of "it's a process" coming from both Nick Saban and Jim mcElwain

Now we know Mac is no Nick saban right now, but he also is no Will Muschamp. And it's insulting that some of you would even try to make that argument and throw records up with no perspective of the progress that's been made.

I got a question TJ. What did you think about the recruiting when 3 star Vosean Joseph was all over the field making plays as a true freshman? Or when Chauncey Gardner had two pick sixes? Or when Mark thompson and Jordan Scarlett were busting off long plays behind the blocking of guys like Martez Ivey and TJ McCoy and Jawaan Taylor? Or when guys like Jabari Zuniga and Keivonnis Davis were making plays along the DL? Was it pissing you off that those young guys were instrumental in a victory against a quality opponent?

That's a lot of bad recruiting, on both sides of the ball I guess. Those young guys on defense are going to take their lumps, but they'll be absolutely fine on defense.
