He always sounds terrific in front of the team. What the hell happens to him in front of recruits?

Really, really liked that clip. Pierce’s celebration and seeing how happy he was is infectious. That pure joy has been missing for a long time. The video close with the team singing “The Orange and Blue” is awesome as well.

You never saw anything like this with Mac. He would be crying and talking about popcorn.

That’s because Mullen is back here for more than just a check. He WANTS to be the coach of the Gators. I think he’s probably the perfect guy at this time for the program. We absorbed a lot of stink these past 9 years & it’s not a quick fix to get it back to where it should be.

Every time I see our locker room it reminds me of a 1990s sports bar.....hell the damn sign that says "Beat Insert Team" is like the green monster having to be changed every week!

Logical thought has no place here. We should have already won the title 3 games in.

I’m not sure I’ve ever heard them sing it in the locker room. Damn, the football team knows the fight song? (I know they know it) Gave me chills.

I am an old Gator softy, I know, but there were a couple of goosebumps moments in there for me, none bigger than the O&B being sung in the locker room. Hey, who is cutting onions in here all of the sudden?

God I love THIS team.

Keep grinding.

Might that "spirit" area be the first "you-turn" turnaround. On recruiting : Perhaps this HC is transparently honest, not good at blowing smoke up their asses like other faux-hype programs. Sooo, DM's recruit-tsunami awaits a wave of improvements on the field.

The joy displayed in D.Pierce's after-TD return to the sideline strengthens our recruit-appeal, as well as increases momentum. What a reality boost if Pierce can perform in turnaround fashion and raise a tsunamic crash-down momentum. Team inspired by a freshman as Emmitt once did.

I'm thinking Pierce's running ability is the most "count upon" force we've got right right now. (Premature predictions be damned!) With that add Franks at a 10% improvement to enhance Swain, Grimes, Jefferson, Cleveland, Krull, Toney. Wow, surely our Offensive measure would climb in the ratings as our scores climb.

Remember, we are all in this together, so let's go all in.

Videos like this are what keeps me hanging around. Mullen certainly seems like the right hire for where we are. Just hope we are patient enough to give him the time needed to turn this ship around. I think we will given the last 2 coaches lol.

How much patience?

How many years will it take him to transform us into a 4-4 Cowbell?

Seriously, what do you think his ceiling is?

I don't know. But I think by year 3 we could be a 9-3, 10-2 type team. From there, it will take a combo of better recruiting and some luck. Honestly I think he's slightly better than Richt, which honestly considering the last 8 years isn't bad. If in year 5 we are "stuck" at the 9-3 level, THEN you can let him go WITH a fully stocked roster and proper S&C etc. Then try to find the next "Kirby Smart". Not that type of coach, but someone who can take us from good to great. We are honestly worse than I thought we were, so taking us to good within 3 years is a pretty solid job and I think Mullen can do it. At least by then we aren't going to lose to teams we shouldn't and teams like UK won't push us around. That UK game was massively eye opening for me. I went from expecting 8-9 wins to 6. We HAVE to give Mullen 4 years at least unless he craps the bed. Will be a much more attractive job by then with facilities etc and a good roster.
