And I'm with sofla. It's ridiculous to be bagging on Mullen and the program at this point. Let's see how the team looks on the field first. I hated the Muschamp and Mac hires, but I agreed to withhold judgement until I actually saw the team play, and even then knew I'd give them until at least their second year before I started trashing them. Everyone knows how I felt about the Mullen hire, but what's done is done and I am 100% behind the staff at the moment.
The bashers may very well end up right, but what's the point of being so damn insufferable already? If past performance was a 100% indicator of the future, then there would be no reason to play the games. Mullen is in a better situation where he can compile better talent in an easier division. And, incredibly, often coaches improve over time - can you believe that? Fun fact, I know.
In short, let me say this: Take a great coach like Saban or Meyer and give them 5 years at MSU and 5 years at UF. I say they win more games over the 5 years at UF.
