DM naysayers are gonna need to wait until 2020 to sharpen their chops. We're gonna be climbing until then.

You're so easy. Baseline is four. You do realize seven followed by nine is an ascent. Even you know he's going to do that.
We will see.

The baseline at Florida is most certainly not 4, it’s not 7 either. It’s SEC championships. If Mullen hasn’t sniffed one of those in 3 years, he’ll be in trouble. Nobody will tout a 5-7 or 7-5 season as a reason to keep him around.

How many did we win last year? What kind of roster did he inherit? This isn't 2004 or even 2010. We're digging out of a hole.

Great coaches figure it out. As much as some would like us to believe, we don’t have a Vandy like roster. With 3 cupcakes, Vandy, UK, Mizzu, Tenn and SC on our schedule, any good to great coach would easily win 7-8 games. Suggesting 5 wins this season would be progress is ludicrous.

Its not a good sign when the pumps are already lowering expectations and warming up the excuses and we haven't even played a single snap yet.

I'm banking on seven or eight this season, nine or 10 in 2019. It's at that point where I want to see if Mullen reaches his ceiling or for the stars.

If he defends the Swamp and beats FSU, I’ll feel like he’s on the right track. Short of that, I’ll still have doubts.

Anything less than 9 wins will be disappointing. As will 9 wins. But if EJ is playing well by then, we win our bowl game and finish better than 15th in recruiting I'll have some hope. But I'm not counting on it.
