The less consistent it is, the more it is failing, the more it is continuing problems rather than solving them.
Mack's defense of his coaches on the D side: “Are they all good coaches? They all looked like great coaches against A&M and Notre Dame last year. So yes, they know what they're doing."
They looked like they knew what they were doing last year against A&M, but this year against GT they looked like they barely grasped the concept of playing defense. Any of us can come up with a number of such examples: really good, but really bad there.
Inconsistent. What this staff, in its 3rd season, produces is inconsistency. And it is far more than just freshmen and sophomores being inconsistent. The OL is filled with 3rd year starters, and the OL plays like a bunch of freshmen paired with sophomores who barely saw the field last year.
Of course, if Mack looks at film of the OL at its very best and assumes that proves that Searels is top notch, he will feel no need to worry about what Searels is most likely to produce.
With that in mind, a good article to read is Florida is Stuck in the Mud, and Dan Mullen is Doubling Down.
A quote: "They're 4-7 in their past 11 games (4-4 this season), the offense has become average and the defense continues to disappoint. And it can all be traced to Mullen's decisions: choices he's made on the recruiting trail, standing by his longtime backup quarterback too long and not moving on from his struggling defensive coordinator.
"Looking at us right now we're not where we want to be," Mullen acknowledged after the loss on Saturday."
Doubling down when you are anything less than part of the top of your league means that the boosters of your program are going to come to see you as hardheaded and imperious, as dedicated to yourself and your notions, and your friends, much more than to winning big at their school. At some point they will give up on you and then turn on you. And that can happen very quickly. Even to easily likable guys.
