I like our chances too, as long as we don't make the comedy of errors we made last time. That being said, we almost never make it easy on ourselves, so even if we play our game I think it's going to come down to the wire. It'd be sickening to lose to JSU twice in one year.
As far as Coach Mack goes, he might leave, these days you never know. One year is quite a small sample size for a hiring AD to go by, anybody who makes this hire will be in hot water if it doesn't pan out. Another season like this though and I'd be surprised if we kept him. Fortunately, there's a very obvious candidate to snap up if he leaves, and I think we'd be fine in the end.
