I can’t do brain surgery nor can I fly a plane.

I’m man enough to admit when I’m wrong or when I come upon something I can’t do and step aside and let someone else take over the task who is capable.

Coach McMahon needs to do just that. Face the fact that he is not capable of coaching in the SEC and go back to where he can function.

I would honestly feel guilty taking the salary he’s getting and whether you believe it or not I’d walk away in shame.

But have you tried? Maybe you can!

As honorable as that is, the sentiment doesn’t apply as much to transplant coaches for paid athlete teams. You do the best you can, and if it’s not good enough, the employer will fire you.

Most, if not all, coaches are competitors. I’m certain he believes there is something he can do to perform better. You don’t make it to high level athletics with an inferiority complex. I do believe he’s trying. I don’t think he’s just accepting a salary for nothing. He just isn’t what is going to win in the SEC.

McMahon is gone and I’m sure he knows his time is running out, It’s just a matter of when.

When the contract runs out, or the buyout years remaining get short enough

You mean like Brian Kelly? No McMahon won’t survive this year. Verge desires to make his own hire for that position.
