Can we now be glad we have Mullen and not....

Maybe or maybe not. He wouldn't have recruited Grier though.

We totally agree on the second part. I'm not saying that as necessarily a knock on Mullen, either. I love Danny Wuerffel, but I don't think he would have lit it up in the Nebraska offense of the same era. I don't think Tommy Frazier would have been great in the Fun n' Gun. That doesn't mean they weren't both perfect for the coach's system they were playing in.

Since the first part is speculation all we can go on is what he's doing now. Franks is clearly not a guy built for what Mullen wants to do - but he's got more tools right now than EJ. I think you can make an analogy for that situation and the TH/WG situation. Personally I never thought the mobility difference between Treon and Will was as great as the announcers liked to make it out to be - and Will was a FAR better passer and he was at least willing to run. That's why I think he would start WG and work hard on getting whatever guy he had brought in ready to take over. I do think he would have gone out and gotten someone who was a better fit for his system in his first class even with WG here. I guess you can say that's what Butters did with LDR - but he wasn't exactly the blue chip that EJ was.

I've found that the "No one but Mullen" crowd isn't actually wanting to hear any names. Every name offered, they reject because it isn't "realistic" or--my personal favorite--"no SEC experience" (as if Mullen's losing record in the conference is some sort of accomplishment we measure others up to).

Money talks in this business--and Florida has tons of it. I get it that Saban isn't coming; nor was Dabo...but a TON of other coaches would have considered it, IF the offer was right. Enough to make them leave? No one knows.

Something else no one know? Whether Mullen is up to the job or not based upon one game vs a FCS school. No one questions his ability to beat teams we should be beating. Mullen's real test will come against ranked opposition.

So another midwestern guy with zero history in the south? A guy who is an “elite recruiter”? Well if that isn’t throwing shyt against a wall and hoping it sticks I don’t know what is.

Norvell is undeniably unproven. Good offense who shows heavy defensive ineptitude.

Neither up to this point were better choices. MSU is as good of a program as Minnesota and Memphis they just have the unfortunate task of having to pretend to be Bama Esque for guys like you and Swonkey. It’s an absurd level to hold them to just because you didn’t like the guy coaching them

True to my word, I'm only responding to this because it's clear now why you felt the need to argue with me. Facts don't care about feelings. This could have been a simple two post exchange. You can argue interpretations of facts but not facts themselves. That's my tactic Doug. I don't talk about things unless I know what I'm talking about. You have yourself a good night.

True to your word you responded? I think you are confused on the definition of what a fact is, here is some help:

Fact:
a. something that has actual existence
b an actual occurrence
c. a piece of information presented as having objective reality

You're memory that isn't verifiable and a quote that is not a fact, it is subjective. The actual film of the game, box score, and drive summaries are all facts they are all verifiable and pieces of information in an objective reality. I'm not interpreting schit, you are.

Getting caught in your own misrepresentation is your issue not me. Now actually think about it, and actually stay true to your own word. Because obviously it is a FACT you have an issue with that as well as proven by the post I'm responding to.

If we don't blow out Kentucky by 40, the calls for Major Applewhite will be deafening.

That's your list? Daz? Sidehat? Honk-the-Bobo?

Unadulterated, shameless attempt at trolling, or keeping this alive.

Nicely done.
