Analysis of Mac's success vs. predicted success

I think it's not so farfetched to say that...the offense was not and has not been good since like 2008/2009 -- so it's not like we can actually blame them completely, per se. The quarterback problem is now their own, as well as the line. I think 2 years is sufficient to recruit or at the very least go after some JUCO guys to at least get some experience in the line.

But, I mean, they've tried. They brought in journeyman quarterbacks, they've brought in grad transfers at the line, they've done everything they possibly could to jumpstart the offense and it just hasn't clicked.

I think the offense has the potential, but just like every single year we watch this: We need a quarterback. A real quarterback. Franks might be that answer, as may Corral. But if we had a kid like Bentley, McElwain would maybe have two losses on his schedule.

If Grier had stayed, likewise. His first year he had Treon Harris and then absolutely no one at QB, his second year he had a Walk-on and a Purdue backup. This year he has a Redshirt Freshman who started his first game on the road against a legit top-15 team.

The line is disappointing, but I think we needed a game to sort of build their confidence and get them to work together better.

Considering the first year they had us like 4th or 5th in the East, and the second year they had us 3rd or 4th and we finished first both times is good.

I would also like to point out that he has had success at Florida, more than Muschamp ever had in regards to the SEC. He seems to shite it up against big time competition aside from one team a year, and that's unaccetable.

But in the end, don't shite on the guy one game into the season. We were barely bowling every year, and Muschamp was fortunate he didn't miss the bowl season two years in a row. FCS teams were beating us without completing passes, others were running for 200 yards.

We are goddamn lucky to not be in Vanderbilt's position and I'll tell you something -- if we perform absolutely horribly against Colorado, then by all means bitch and moan your voice away.

But I'm happy that I don't worry about fricking dropping FCS games, and haven't worried for two years. I'm happy that we won the East, I'm happy that his defense is working without Muschamp's players and I'm happy that our receivers look like actual receivers.

I haven't seen catches like that since pre-Muschamp, and as long as parts of the offense are improving I'm happy -- but we knew coming into the year that there were still a lot of kinks to work out.

Also, he hasn't been destroyed by decent teams. LSU didn't destroy him, nor did Ole Miss (like Ole Miss last year KILLED Kirby's Dogs). The only decent team to fit that is Arkansas, but after that it's just a trail of Championship level teams -- and that's to be expected.

If you thought we were going to waltz in and beat Bama or even be competitive when we couldn't even beat Georgia Southern at Home, maybe you should try to reflect a little more.

So just because WM sucked and we made the SECCG we should be happy with this shitshow? Lay down the bottle man. WM IS NOT TGE STANDARD HERE.MAC And WM have almost identical records and Mac has played in a far easier era of the east. They're the bottom of the barrel. No we don't have to an fcs team we have to worry about 6-6 Arkansas and 3-9 fau, etc. Jesus man are you related to Mac. Reel even quit carrying water for the guy.

I never wanted Mac, but he is the HC of my team so I supported him when the hire was made. I believe every HC should get at least 3 years to prove himself, and here we are in his 3rd and the offense is STILL floundering around for 60 minutes while we rely on the defense to win games. If we come out looking like shite vs Tenn, Mac will lose what support he does have imo.

That said, I'll be watching Will Grier throw for 400 yards tomorrow in an offense that has less quality players around him.

They rushed for over 200 yards

Its not about the W/L record, its about the offensive inefficiency that we've been dealing with the past several years. He was brought in to fix this problem, so far its not happening.

I dont expect to find the next Saban ect. But at least find a HC who can show we deserve to be on the same damn field.

W/L record means what when we get our doors blown off vs the top teams? It just tells me the East is shite. Hell, Tenn had to go to dbl OT to beat friggan GT.

JS and Callaway wouldnt have made any difference. The team never got off the bus neither did the coaches.

I believe we'll win 8-9 games due to the East being down. May even win the East again if we beat UGA. Then we'll get throttled by FSU and Bama again.

Exactly, how many new defensive starters? And we made them look like the Steel Curtain

There were zero adjustments. Thats the thing.

Off-topic, but rewatching the 30 minute version of the game -- Zaire was bad.

Really, really bad. I hope to see Luke Del Rio, and that's means we're in the worst way.

You don't understand why a bunch of us are pissed because the $5M a year offensive guru is shitting the bed in his 3rd yr? I'm done with you. You're either a troll or insane.
