Many questions - no one in the UF admin is going to answer us, so we should just live with the unanswered questions.
But I have a question of the folks on the board - why does everyone hate this guy? We all saw the high-octane offense he ran 2005- 2008. He didn't just run it with Timmy, Chris was more of a drop-back QB and he was the starter in 2005 and primary starter in 2006.
He was pretty friendly when he was our Gator Club's guest speaker as the new OC in 2005 (which was, incidentally, the last time we could get a coach to speak - Urban demanded a limited speaking schedule for himself and his assistants after the 2005 season).
I'm like you, I have fond memories of Dan at UF. And I don't hold his record at MSU against him. Anyone would have trouble recruiting and winning there. And don't kid ourselves, he does bring certain things to the table: we know his offense can be successful, he recruited fine at UF, he knows the SEC, etc. But for me, I really was hoping we could get a young gunslinger in here to bring some innovation and storm the SEC the way that SOS did.
Mullin can stabilize the program, but he's kind of like how you call some QBs game managers.
