How else would you describe it? He didn't recruit him and was forced to play him due to injury. Hell, I think even Mullen himself would admit there was luck involved.

How else would I describe it?
Jefferson
Grimes
Shorter
OL has greatly improved
Wright
EJones
AR (UGA will kill for our stable of QBs)
Bowman on the way
and so on.
Again, acting like Mullen is just being saved on offense by lucking into Trask is total BS and undercuts all the things that should be complained about. If anyone has complaints about offense other than the occasional QB run (even that happens less and less now) then they are just dead set and narrowminded. Mullen has definite issues ... offense isn't one of them. Credit is deserved there big time.
Outside of McPherson, special teams is dismal.
Defense is just sad. It has been a steady decline across the board since Mullen got off the plane.

FFS, he’s got to win something of consequence first. Until then, he’ll have to get by on “just” $6m per year.

He isnt? There is nothing to complain about on offense right now. Mullen has done an outstanding job. He has brought in stars that are performing on the field as well as taking Butters leftovers and kicking arse with them. Seriously, what could you possibly complain about with the offense right now? Grimes? STFUAGTFUOOH you whiney little b!tch.
He's not the only one with issues.

I already made my point. The topic we were debating was about Trask, not the other players (even though Butters is responsible for most of them too - they were attracted to UF initially because of Mac’s charisma). Mullen lucked into Trask, it’s not even debatable. He’s using an offense he doesn’t like and never will use again after this season. There’s going to be a lot of Mullen cursing next year along with Grantham cursing, as he also isn’t going anywhere.He isnt? There is nothing to complain about on offense right now.

Just like Butters would still be roaming our sideline if he hadn’t forced his way out, Frank’s would still be our QB if he hadn’t been hurt. Those are facts, not opinions. Yup.

I thought for sure I would try to log on this morning and have a message I am on a break :D
Ok, he did have the fortune of inheriting Trask from the previous roster. But lets not act like the Trask we see today is the Trask we would have seen 3 years ago. Trask is being coached and its obvious. Furthermore, if you take away all the weapons Mullen went out and got, would Trask be the player we are witnessing right now? Trask is killing it. But there has been some spectacular highlight reel catches made in spades every single game. Put a bunch of 2-3* WRs in there and those go uncatched. That is the point I am making. Mullen didn't just luck into Trask, he gets a lot of credit for coaching him up, stocking talent around him and changing the offense to make it what it is today.
Im not so sure I will be cursing the offense next year. I think very highly of Jones and believe it is going to open up a totally different game plan. From what Ive seen, I think Jones is a very good thrower of the ball too. Im not ready to curse about next year yet is my only point but I do reserve the right to and tip my hat to your point there.
Defense. Well, that is where I think Mullen needs a lot of shade. A whole lot of it.

Checkmate. You could have saved us both a lot of time and trouble if you had just agreed with me in the first place.

But that gets you less traffic.
Agreed. Mullen was fortunate enough to inherit a football team with offensive football players on it. No other coach ever got that type of luck. Is that your point?

Yep, Butters sealed his fate with the death threats bull****.
If Franks hadn't jacked his ankle, I am afraid we would have lost the KY game and he would have still been here. No New Year's Six last year, this year we would have lost to UGA who started a skinny midget at QB and Ole Miss who started a QB that once recruited like hell for us. We very well could have lost to USCe and saved Nochumps job.
Mullen needs to quit worrying about finding the next Tebow or Dak and adapt "his" system to the talent he has. Saban has done this masterfully and it seems to work at UA. Dabo has done this at Clemson. Clemson used to be a spread O with a running QB running power and counter and the pass 35-40% of the time. Now with Lawrence, they throw it around a lot more.
What you are now seeing is teams who run a pass first O and set up the run are having a ton of success. Clemson, Alabama, UF, OU. Its fun to watch and stresses the hell out of defenses. The trend now is the super freak athletes are not going the corner back route, but going the WR route, and we are stacked to the gills with elite pass catchers. Teams can't put enough cover guys out there because they are all playing offense. I personally blame OBJ.

Yes, he inherited him. All coaches inherit players. Do we not judge them until they are coaching strictly their own team? As neteng pointed out, Trask isn’t playing this well without a great group or WRs, TEs and a RB that Mullen didn’t inherit.

Ox isn't a pussy. If he gets in the mix and gets muddy, he just gets muddy. You can't cry foul and go home and pout. That's what I like about this board.
Trask is throwing it around a lot. Yes, 2 and 3 star players would make those grabs if they are here or they wouldn't be on the field. We all thought we would see a big drop off when Pitts went out, but that hasn't happened. In fact, Shorter, Gamble, Whittemore have more than picked up the slack.
Jones can throw it, but he isn't Trask. That is both a blessing and a curse. He will tuck it and run, which stresses the defense too.

You and I used to be pals, now you're openly calling me out and it hurts.
The indisputable facts:
1) Mullen never would have recruited Trask
2) Mullen never would have played Trask if his hand wasn't forced
3) Mullen can't stand Trask personally because he makes him feel worthless and they don't speak
All this started because neteng went ballistic when it was suggested Mullen lucked into Trask. Now neteng has ADMITTED that statement was true and I was absolutely right all along. I guess I don't see what you dorks are still arguing about, at least with me.

Mullen is making 6 million a year. Is the NFL willing to pay him $8+ million? That would make him one of the top 10 highest paid coaches in the NFL.
