Situation in G'ville with CJMc seems very sad. He looked beaten down in his presser after the GA game. Looked like a guy who knows he is on the way out. On SEC Network there is some talk that situation between CJMc and the AD is so bad that coach wants out. What a bummer for him. I hope he lands on his feet.
CJMc never could find a QB. Certainly wasn't left with anyone. So he tried the transfer QB route, maybe hoped to recruit/develop quickly an SEC-ready QB. Bama missed on several QB recruits and had their pick, so it's not easy. Saban benefited from Shula's QB recruits when he first got to Bama.
Coach Mac also only 4 OL on scholly when he arrived on campus. Apparently Muschamp could only recruit D players.
So I think Coach Mac did a good job but needs more time. Got a ragtag, thrown together Florida team to the SECCG two years in a row.
Backlash now that no progress seen.
Hard to compete with Kirby with his system and his inherited talent -- not one but at least two good QBs, some great RBs, etc. Everyone knew CMR had the talent at GA.
Not too worried about McElwain. Someone will want him if Florida discards him. He is better than most other SEC coaches.
