re: Matt McMahon has to be the most frustrated coach among the SEC

McMahon has benched Cook a number of times for doing exactly what you are talking about. His team does compete and play hard. They are a few plays away from sweeping TAM and beating GA on the road. They have competed with the top teams in the league only to lose it in the last qtr of the games which is when the talent has taken over. McMahon is a good coach but not a great coach. Wade was the same. A good coach but not great. What set him apart was his ability to recruit. We’ll see if McMahon can sign his 2 big recruits next year and keep the core players coming back. Add a few portal players and next year should be a sign of whether he will be here for a while are be the beginning of the end. 1st year was a throw away so let’s see where he ends up this year .
