He's not? Would you accept a 5-7 season? I wouldn't, and I don't think the majority of Gator fans would either. I'm not saying he would get canned this year, in fact I think that it is all but certain he is back for 2014, but if we go 5-7, his seat will be so warm, I'll want to borrow it for the coming minnesota winter!
