with all this crazy coaching changes we are in a very unique position of being able to do better than average for us. A 5-7 class is within reach.Mullen's enthusiasm is infectious. Add to it the 2005-2008 UF story he can tell on the recruiting trail. I'm buying a call on UF's 2018 recruiting class.
Thanks for the link. He sounds like a confident, competent veteran coach. The her has grown on me.
I golly geez, aint this kewl? Aint this neat? And yet, we aren't here, because I'm 4-7 and made first downs more rare than TDs used to be.Mcbuttersharkhumperstain would have cried on the set.
I’m an optimist, always looking for the best in situations and people. And so I hoped for the best with Zook, Muschamp & McElwain and supported them until I couldn’t.
I was on fire when they hired Spurrier. I was on fire when they hired Meyer.
This morning I realized I’m fired up again. Not as intensely as with SOS or UM3, but much more like that than the others. I’m poring over news about assistants, recruits, schemes etc. much more intently than I have in years. That had been tempered by the informed cautions and stats I’ve read here, but I’m not talking calculation. It just feels different and much better than it has. And it slipped up on me. He wasn’t at the top of my list.
Side note: The offense was still Tebow’s, but took a significant dive after Mullen left. I’ve attributed that primarily to the loss of Murphy & Harvin. But losing Mullen hurt too.
If Mac were to have been asked to do or done something like this on his own, he would have bumble phucked his way through it. You can only Hee Haw so much before you get turned off. Mullen understands what we want.
And yet...I don't know how many of you saw his appearance on Gameday this morning but he was outstanding. He was energetic, concise, he got in and out of his comments quickly. Those are all things that are important to TV producers and come across well on screen.
Both his comments about taking the Florida job and also about today's games where he interacted with the other hosts were very well done.
No this doesn't impact coaching on the field but being the head coach at a program like Florida is about more than just game day coaching. So far Mullen has done a great job representing the Florida brand.
