UF Announces Dan Mullen as HC $36 Million over 6 Years

[kepler]

I don’t blame him. Go look up Mullen’s passing offenses in his time at Miss. St. You’d be upset too. More of the same coming to gator nation.

Don't have to. I have watched everyone of our games these past five years or so. We're dogcrap with a bare roster of decent players and because we're Florida fully expect the very cream of the coaching crop to throw themselves at us.

We can agree on the name calling. I don't dive to that level but he does look like Cousin Eddie...you gotta admit that.

 

[Zambo]

So without going back to read 35 pages of this, is there any actual evidence that we're paying anywhere in the neighborhood of 7m in salary?

Didn’t our new coach just lose to an interim coach?!?!?!?! Dohhhhh

Yes, and his all-world QB (from here, btw - well, Richmond Hill, GA, is about 15 miles from Savannah) went down in the first quarter with a horrific foot injury (so bad they wouldn't show the replay). His backup was not quite as good. If Fitzgerald plays the rest of that game, MSU wins it.

I didn't read the comments in this thread about DM...but Anyone..who isn't happy with him being hired back as our HC... is a fool.... Glad he is back. Go Gators!

Yeah, we know Cowbell had a backup QB.... just like Ole Miss.

Cant wait til Cousin Eddie has an experienced upperclassman like Fitz so we can watch up take on Ugly and put 3 points on the board again like this year.

If you or anyone else on here can't get/see why its a good hire...no sense in attempting to explain it. and I really do not care if this opinion is popular on here or not. It's a solid hire.

I love this hire!

Yes, we whiffed on our top two candidates but why are so many hurt over not getting coaches who don’t want to be Gators?

I’m happy we found a guy with a history of success that wants to be here. I loved the spread option attack we used to run and I can’t wait to see what we look like at the next spring game.

I guarantee that no matter how it looks next spring, people will complain. lol

Yeah, I too envy a team that just hired/fired a coach linked to child rape and now might be on the hook for part of a $20 million buyout.

Mullen aint so clean either. You ever see that video of his recruit beating the shcit out of a woman? Yes ,he still signed him after that. One of the most disgusting things I've ever seen on video.

 

[Concrete Helmet]

Great post and spot on. I suppose after the anger of this announcement wear's off(I feel like a rug has been yanked out from under me) I 'll probably try to justify his limited success by trying to believe that more overall talent will make us better than MSU.....I hope it works but I have my doubts especially now that our roster is very depleted and top 5 recruiting classes aren't a given around these parts like they used to be....

 

[Gatorraid81]

How can Stricklin stand up there tomorrow and say we got our man? Is he going to acknowledge striking out on our top 2 targets and just going to the hurry up comfortable option or pretend we didn’t notice his failure.

No, he'll probably say they interviewed several candidates and chose Mullen. Won't mention that he was at least 3rd choice.

 

[ufgator2002]

No sir..not missing anything. know the sport very well. Been a Gator for a Long time. Go Gators!

The more money you make the more heat you must take. The law of expectations !!!
