No it's not. Do you think any other fan base would put up with the lack of offense, blowout losses, etc? Bama, Clem, OSU, FSU, etc wouldnt. Mac has caused these problems by not delivering and then blaming the fans. This class may fall apart regardless. Back to slayer, nuss needs to follow Kirbys philosophy in order to give us a good shot at winning out. Ride the RBs and don't pass 30 times a game.
Malik Davis is the best RB we've had in a long, long time and he's barely got four games under his belt. (I don't think we utilized him as much as we did in the beginning of the year.)
But I mean, Kirby's philosophy works because he's got two 5* senior running backs who will play in the NFL, possibly both of them will be 1 - 3 round. He's just lucky both of them stayed for their fourth year.
I think we might have to do what LSU did to us -- run the jet-sweep, fake the jet-sweep. Get the ball to the edges, free up some room.
That being said: We haven't had a blowout loss this year, and you guys were ready to give up on the first one. Against Michigan we had a long TD run called back that would have put us up 24 - 13 going into the half and with a frick ton of momentum. Instead, our one big gain of the game gets called back on some right ol' bullshite.
We were down 26 - 17 (9 points is not that bad) and we fumbled in the end zone to make the score look way worse than it was.
But the moment we lost a game, all of you just automatically gave up -- you gave up last year even though we had a great end to the season.
In the end: It obviously only matters with style on how we win, but not how we lose.
He wins: He didn't win by enough.
He loses: Regardless of how he loses, he's the worst coach around.
Our fan base doesn't support our team, our coach nor our university. They don't care about any context or circumstances. You were talking up so many teams to begin the year. Look at how their HCs were, look how great they do without x y and z.
And when they lost x, those teams got the frick beaten out of them, all in the same weekend, ironically.
If McElwain leaves, I'll be disappointed because I feel like he's being pushed out with no regard for the atmosphere of our program A. before he came and B. while he was here.

He's also averaged offenses on the 100s, players being arrested left and right and thrown the entire fan base under the bus and harmed the UF brand. SOS didn't come back because Foley didn't want him. Meyer quit because he didn't want to rebuild. This team LOOKS the exact same with a roster full of Mac players. He's a 7-5 coach who's gotten lucky the East is trash and a few breaks from being 1-5.

7-5
Hasn't had a 7 - 5 year, and had we not cancelled the NCO game we'd be 4 - 3. Kirby had a 7 - 5 year, though.
Weird how once his team grew up (with Richt's players) suddenly it got turned around.

I said he's a 7-5 coach who got lucky. Just like gene chizik

Wrong. It's been 3 years

We pay him millions. We come to the games despite the shite play. I'm not going to get in another shite post debate about Kirby. He's done what he was hired to do. Mac hasn't. Michigan could've named their score. Yeah moral victories. We lost but we kept it close. He's 5-8 vs the top 25, 11-11 vs teams at .500 Or better. He has the exact same record as WM had going into the UGA 4 years ago. 22-11

say we lose to uga and win out. bowl game included. that would mean the guy has averaged 9 wins a year here despite having to rebuild our oline and losing grier. losing ldr has hurt too. this isn't basketball or some tiddly wink sport where great athletic ability can overcome everything. losing ldr cost us these last two games. cost us at least one last year too.
need to stop being a shitshow of a fanbase.
Yep, 100%. If Grier's here, he doesn't lose games outside of Alabama and maybe Florida State. They blame him for poor offensive output but what can he do when the last coach didn't even recruit a fricking backup quarterback outside of Treon Harris?
There are so many factors just flat-out ignored (unless it's for other teams) that TJ excuses for other coaches but not for McElwain.
Should have seen his exploding cheeks for USC until they got fricking molly whopped. Same for Harbaugh before he lost his QB. Same for Fisher until he lost his QB.
It's always an excuse unless it's at Florida.

Every QB on the roster is his. Every player on offense is practically his. #103 in offense in year 3.

No fanbase in America would be able to run off Steve Spurrier AND Urban Meyer.
And your posts in this thread show exactly why we lost them, and will probably eventually run Mac off or have him fired. You have zero perspective. You are truly an absolute idiot.

Go Gators, beat georgia and shut up the Negagators for a week.

If we beat UGA, it won't be by enough points, won't matter, still has yellow teeth, still fricked a shark, etc.
There's no pleasing the loud minority. They're clowns. I hope they don't run off a good coach, because they should never be given that kind of credibility. The TJ's of the Gator fanbase are a minority. They're the loudest on message boards and twitter, and they're the faction of the fanbase that the media plays for clicks. Notice how TJ is always the one that posts their click bait articles about the sky falling.
The media is poison. They play the uneducated, dumb faction of the fanbase to get their clicks, and make them think more people believe the shite they spew. It's a dumb cycle perpetuated by the "world is always ending" media and lunatic, obsessive fans (the type that send coaches/players/families death threats) that cause Steve Spurrier and Urban Meyer to leave, and will cause Jim McElwain's rebuild of our program to be cut short despite the obvious foundational progress that has been made in the program since his arrival.

It would be kinda funny after the last few weeks if UF does somehow win out.

It would be fricking awesome. Like Woodstock but with our clothes on.

From an outside perspective, I think McElwain is a good football coach, but not a great fit for a program like UF.
He seems like a coach that prides himself on doing more with less. UF, UGA, LSU, etc aren't "do more with less" places. That only gets a program so far. You have to do even more with more, for lack of a better way to put it. UF people get frustrated, and he gets frustrated with their frustration.
I say that independent of what may or may not happen in the game this weekend.

We aren't the minority. Keep telling yourself that. You sound like a trumpkin blaming the media for when trump goes on a tirade. Macs coaching stubbornness wrt to Nuss & bad recruiting will cost him his job. That's if his lie doesn't do him in. You're playing the victim card for Mac so well.
