I summarize...
”We’re getting excited to start up spring practice in a couple of days, this Thursday” (Feb. 18th for GCMB clarification). “We’re starting early this year and cutting things a week short because I need to finish by March 10th. I’ve got a 2 week vacation scheduled in the Caymans, you know, use it or lose it time, so that’s the reason for the early start. You really don’t want this sun tan I worked so hard on during the final recruiting push to fade, now do you? Okay, well, that’s a wrap. Have a great day everyone.”
If the press starts to ride his azz, he gone. That's our one hope that can slide the mediocre coach out the door.Okay, I watched the first 3 minutes and two things jumped out at me.
1) Mullen is already laying the groundwork & excuses for next season by saying that a big chunk of the players, specifically the 2019, 2020 & 2021 recruiting classes have never been through spring practice. This is no bueno.
2) The reporters are starting to call him out on his BS coach-speak. When he dodged the 1st reporter’s question about whether he’s interested in going to the NFL, a different reporter chimed in and said to Mullen “you’re not answering the question”. Somebody is actually holding his feet to the fire. This is muy bueno.
So, who's next? It has been one mis-fire after another. At least Butters won the SECe twice.If the press starts to ride his azz, he gone. That's our one hope that can slide the mediocre coach out the door.

If there is one thig he has proven since 2008, it is that no other team wants him."And I better get that extension soon or I'm out of here. If that nitwit Jimbo Fisher
can find a place that's stupid enough to pay him $75 million, so can I."
they're cowards.I am not sure what that looks like since I can’t remember the last time a member of the gator press corps did anything other than lob softball questions at a gator coach.
My assumption is that the reporter that repeated the question will be banned from future press conferences as Scottie ensures that they won’t ultimately turn their attention towards him.
they're cowards.
even when they're giving the marching orders to start criticizing the coach they do it in writing but not in person.
Good question. The other and less likely scenario is that he will get a real DC, shore up his recruiting team including taking it more seriously himself and we can get headed in the right direction. Coaches by nature are damn stubborn and sometimes to a fault. In fairness, I don't know anyone that has been successful in what they do without some stubborn tendencies but he strikes me as one incapable of pushing it to the side in order to evolve. Not confident, we will see it.So, who's next? It has been one mis-fire after another. At least Butters won the SECe twice.
At least he could be found on National Signing Day. At least his recruits have amounted to something.
Dopey Dan has been an embarrassment! I guess UF has decided to put up with him until his
contract runs out instead of paying him is buyout money.
