re: If Mac leaves- do you go full court press on Frost?

You wouldn't change your opinion of McElwain if he beat Georgia missing 15 scholarship players on a depleted roster...?


Why should it ?

That's just a blatantly stupid thing to say -- that results wouldn't change your mind. As for the offense: I understand that injuries and suspensions do hurt the team, and I've said before that he needs to practically win out to stay (for me) if he loses to Georgia.

I'm pretty critical on McElwain for a multitude of ways that I put on another thread, but I think there's a lot of undue blame that he receives for things that are either out of his control or weren't his fault to begin with.

I hate his conservatism, a lot. It's probably what pisses me off more than anything that he's ever done. I hate that he's not good with the press.

But I get it, this is a stressful job. Especially when the fan base gives up on you after two 9 win seasons when we were averaging 6 before you came.

Do you think we're still having this same conversation if he kicked two game winning field goals over A&M and LSU?

1 if we're not counting Georgia.

Your so far up Macs arse that if you say he should be fired then it should be a done deal.

You know, a lot of people said the same thing when I defended Jeff Driskel for the last few years he was at Florida. I always said he had the right stuff, just not the right system -- said I was up his arse, and he did well enough outside of Florida.

McElwain, I think, is a decent coach -- I even might say pretty good considering the lack of offensive talent that he's had to work on getting.

He's bringing in a top 10 class, Malik Davis is easily the best RB we've had in a while, he's kept it close against two teams while missing 15 - 20 scholarship players and we've almost had four games wherein we had 400 yard games with no quarterback.

So, for the most part I say: Wait until he actually has a quarterback, if he can put up more than 350 without one, imagine what he can do when he has one.

And we have one coming in next year who could be a gamechanger.

Of course, we could also frick over an otherwise successful coach and get a Butch-like bandaid, waiting again and continue our coaching musical chairs.

I'd rather see him come back next year, but if he loses a game outside of Georgia he's fricked.

Who has UCF beaten??? Who the hell have they played? I just don't see all the love for Frost right now??? The AAC is like the old Big East. Back heavy schedules where all their teams look better than they really are.

Yeah, man -- and I mean Meyer was kind of an up-and-comer but...I don't know. I'd take Leach over anyone at this point -- but we have to keep our defensive staff in tact. Even as young as they are, they have heart and play hard, they're just young.

But just to throw another young coach to the wolves, no thanks.
