Mullen is doing just fine.

I wasn’t thrilled when he was announced but he won me over with his gator chomp and “relentless effort” expression but his recruiting now has me on the fence.

The sad reality is, we live in a what have you done for me lately society.

I want a 5 Star coach not 3 Star.

While it will obviously matter down the road, I couldn't give two farts about the 2019 class right now. We've sucked for years and I just want to see at least average football at this point. Right or wrong, that's how far the bar has been lowered and I'm not getting pissed about it anymore.

Wringing your hands every time some 17-year old asshat picks another school is a colossal waste of time right now. Let's start by seeing if we can run a single play without looking like a poorly coached JV team. Baby steps.

Not recruiting related, but this is good to hear - not only good kids, but bonding, which I think is something the last few teams didn't do really well:

I like Mullen and want to see him do well but my problem is with him not recruiting Florida very much! I'd like to see him and his staff start to make players in Florida a priority and stop flying across the country and wasting time with players that are at best a crap shoot for coming to UF! You've got talent everywhere in Fl that's why we've got so many top college programs in our state! We need to get back to players from Florida playing for Florida

Be careful...the rest of the board might think you are a UGA fan.:nono:

:ohnoez:

Only if he starts a worship thread for each recruit, making multiple worship posts, including posting the announcement video links. You came just short of building a scrapbook and a diorama.

I’ve been on this board long enough that nobody is going to accuse me of that.

The reality is that I am pissed because I don’t like losing to UGA and it looks like that is going to happen more often than not, unless we can start recruiting at a high level

The gap isn't as big as people think it is right now between us and the dawgs. Justin Fields is the real deal. But I think we can still beat them on a consistent basis.

I don't see it without recruiting turning around. They have destroyed our recruiting the last few classes and we are working on another mediocre class right now.

:lmao2:

Yeah......... the talent gap between us and FIU isn't that great.

Half our roster were destined for geographic schools before we snagged them.

Anyone that thinks the talent gap on our roster and UGA's, FSU's.....and Alabama's and the other NC contender's "isn't as big as people think" - is, well....high.

@BruceWayne , I love you bro....but you're way, way, way off on this one. The last several classes we have fallen farther and farther behind and it's not even close. Also, when a "roster talent" analysis is done and it shows number of 4 & 5 stars (as the number of 'blue-chip' recruits on the roster) many of our 4-stars are borderline high 3-stars.

The bottom line is recruiting needs to improve. It's not rocket science to figure this out (that it needs to improve). It's a "Captain Obvious" comment, but it's true AF.
