I'm not sold on Mullen's potential at UF. But when you look at it closely, Mullen and his staff would be "Saban-esque" at a lower division of football. He runs a "QB-centric" offense that doesn't require a top guy, just a guy that's sturdy and tough. And Grantham's blitz heavy, man coverage schemes would work wonders.Thought I agree, it's the same thing Mullen basically did... The benefit of frost is he has both played and coached both sides of the ball. But his sample size wasn't big enough, only 2 years at a mid major.
Where they differ is Mullen actually has SEC Head coaching experience. A lot of the guys that love to hate Mullen on this board will have you believe that he's garbage because he never beat anybody while at MSU, but that's very misleading. As I've stated before, I'm a big picture guy. We can all agree that 9 years is a big sample size for coaching, right? Well. I'd venture to say that I'm almost positive that he has one of, if not the highest winning %s in that schools' history. I'll have to check to be sure. But that tells me that he's won more than the median coach did there. Which means he surpassed REASONABLE expectations.
edit: Since the SEC's inception in 1933, there are 3 MSU coaches with a higher winning pct. Since the 50's you have just 1. And not 1 coach has a higher winning % than Dan Mullen, since 1953.
