Really? Now LSU is not a "good" team? Like their offense or not, they rank 6th now, undefeated so far.
Stop moving the goal post. Mullen is doing what he needs to do so far.
If you’re going to faux-quote it, get it right: “LSU is not
great.”
I stand by that and the post was complimenting the visible and demonstrative improvement of the Gators over the result against MSU, which result easily could have been different. It was also noting Mullen may continue to improve the team regardless of the outcome this weekend. As a long term problem of fixing this program, we can enjoy the progress and not overreact to the result.
As to LSU, I’ll stand by that assessment through the end of the year. If you think this LSU team, coached by this ogre, is in the same class as Alabama, Clemson (with an uninjured starting QB), Oklahoma and OSU, I think you just haven’t been watching anything but Gator games.
By efficiency metrics we are fairly even with LSU. They aren’t elite. I hope we win and think we can, in substantial part, because of Mullen. So stop overacting to any hesitation at crowning Mullen the new king.
Otherwise, for the most real and honest board in Gatordom, we have some quick to bytch and act like S-gas posters (in this instance, including the headman himself) if a post is still in let’s see how this plays out mode. I hope the trajectory continues, even if I also rationally recognize that if the MSU receiver holds on to the ball, putting us down 10, we may all feel differently heading into LSU.
For the shots at @Itraz and his reservations regarding Mullen (who he’s been around unlike most), if you were told preseason that the Florida Gators lose to UK and barely beat MSU, while struggling in recruiting, would you think lingering coach skepticism is irrational? And, yes, I get the differences in circumstances from prior years . . . but still. Pause and think about that situation and your initial reaction.
Who’s really moving the goalpost of the “Gator Standard”?
