Great post. It really shows that we were not that lacking in talent, but rather in developing it and using it. I heard many times that coach had his scheme, and he said he had no such. Seems like coach was telling the truth, use the talent you have effectively instead of insisting that it adapt to your preferred methods. Seems rational, although many coaches are not mature enough or good enough to do it.

Now we just need to become more consistent and eliminate the mistakes, then games like Vandy won't need a comeback but will be a domination from start to finish. Go Gators.
Coach definitely seems to be able to assess players abilities and use them effectively.

After Tennessee there was some concern because (earned) turnovers cause the rout and you can’t rely on that. And how bad is Ut anyway?

After MSU there was some concern because, while the D & ST clearly controlled the game, the offense was able to exploit MSU’s soft coverages - and you can’t do that against LSU.

After LSU the team’s toughness was clear, and the offense surprisingly effective against a stout defense.

After Vandy the team’s ability to come back was surprising. Franks looked like a real QB. Vandy’s lack of depth showed, but the comeback was impressive.

And special teams is a world better than the last 3 years.

Yes, I was hopeful at 6-0 in 2015. Yes, I was hopeful at 6-0 in 2012. But this is different. Every position group is improving in every phase of the game. We still have a way to go and could have some rough patches ahead, but the direction is clear. This is more like 2005 in that regard.


And unlike 2012 and 2015, this team is actually fun to watch.

Would it change your opinion of Mullen if it did?

Not addressed to me, but as someone who hated the hire initially I'll answer it.

Yes. My biggest fear hiring Mullen was that he'd turn out to be our Richt; never win championships, but good enough to never get fired. By winning a championship he'll exceed what I believed his ceiling to be and I would be very happy to say I was wrong about him. It's beyond obvious he loves being a Gator and I've had more fun watching the Gators this season than I have since 2008. I hope for all of our sake Dan proves me wrong.

I've said nothing but positive stuff about him for a month. I'm fully on board.
It wasn't intended to be an insult. If Mullen won a NC with THIS team, I think we'd all consider erecting statues to him in our front yards.

For sure. And one of Grantham doing the choke pose.
