I would love to see a pic of your tea party. What other dolls have a seat at that table?
Yawn.

You’re drinking the SOS kool aid if you buy into the thinking that he didn’t prioritize beating FSU alongside kicking UGA and lowering his handicap. Spurrier has an elephant’s memory (almost as good as mine) when it comes to losing. He has 5-8-1 as a constant gnawing reminder of how he loved to lay it on FSU.
5 wins 8 losses 1 tie, 5.5/14, approx 40% win percentage is worlds apart from 0 wins in 12 attempts.Agree on the last line. Don’t agree with the others. We lost to fsu because Bowden typically had more talent and just beat us. He cared. There’s a reason he pointed out their cheating or different standard of discipline, even into his Usce days. We just didn’t win that game very often.
Btw, I think uga had four .500 or less seasons in the 90s. No one marvels at Mullen beating the noles or vols right now because they suck. It’s not because he has some determination to do so. At least, it’s not the only factor.

Why would you count a tie as a loss? The numbers are 5.5 divided by 14 which equals 0.393 which is approximately 40%. On the other hand Zero divided by twelve or any other number is still a big fat hunch backed zero.Five wins in 14 tries is 35.7% winning percentage. I think that's very much within the definition of not winning "very often".
Ftr, the tie is a loss in my book. I'd be shocked if it isn't in Spurrier's as well. Especially with how the rematch went. But that's a separate discussion.
I will immediately become more vocal when the football facility is complete. If he can’t recruit then, he’s gotta go.C’mon, you know me better than that. I’m certainly not trying to pump him. At best I have mixed feelings. I’m not convinced he can take us to the next level and I’m also not sure I want to embark on another grand do-over.
Time will tell if that new football facility will turn some heads.
Ogre didn't coach much of that 2019 team.

And how the hell is 5 wins vs 8 wins not winning very often? Does that mean bobby won once in awhile? We can always count on you to go the extra mile to bash the greatest Gator coach of all time.
You already got a funny and I haven't gotten past the first lineFor starters, I don’t think I care for your tone.
That aside, I said I consider the tie to be a loss. It was a dreadful performance and one of the worst football related disasters I can remember. But that’s really irrelevant. It’s not technically a loss and doesn’t count as one.
And to be clear, I’m not bashing SOS at all, never implied it was zero wins, and fully agree he’s the greatest. I simply stated a fact about a particular game.
As for the winning percentage, I’m not sure how a tie constitutes a half win in your mind. Spurrier won 5 times in 14 attempts. That’s 35.7%. If I’d known this was your thought process earlier, I could’ve had ‘78 grab a new calculator for you as well at Radio Shack this morning. I’m sure he’s in bed by now, so you’ll just have to trust me.

This is like saying I love my girlfriend, and if she would just completely change the way she is I think it could work out.I know it might seem like I am not, but I am a pumper wrt Mullen. I don't like the way he does some things but I also recognize that I have never ever coached a single college (or midget) football team. He has built a program in the the last 4 years that has changed the losing culture stank that butters and chump put on the it even though to date he really hasn't accomplished anything more than what butters or chump did during their tenures.
The recruiting is an obvious area of contention but Mullen has been able to pull some rabbits out of hats with the portal to at a minimum maintain the level he raised the program since arriving in G'ville. Keeping some dead weight coaches is also an area of contention, however, I also think keeping a coaching staff with little to no turnover will pay off a lot in the long run. Knox gets a lot of heat but tbh, our running backs look and play great. Gonzo gets shade thrown his way as well but I really don't have many complaints with the depth and play of our WRs either.
But Grantham...muthafuggin Grantham. He is dog sh!te and its not going to get any better. For the life of me, I just don't understand how in the world Coach Mullen continues to back this guy and say things like he is one of the best DCs in the country. It simply is not true. Last season was such a huge opportunity to get into the playoffs and we all know the one and only reason we didn't: Grantham. We've heard nothing but excuses and BS from pumpers about how last season was just weird due to covid and we will be much improved this season, but honestly it really isn't looking that way. We are again in the bottom half in all of college football for defense and those stats are coming off games against FAU, USF and UT.
So in the spirit of what I think 78 is trying to say in this thread, I want Mullen to succeed instead of us doing a full reboot. I just want Grantham to move on. Its looking like another season of coulda shoulda because of Grantham and I just can't handle another season of it. So in the spirit that donkey made a post about all he has to do is fire the defensive staff, I couldn't agree more. We just need to get a new DC and I think a lot of things will change.
The problem with that is 35% + 57% (8 of 14) is only 92%. That works as a whole at FSU, but not UF math. If we are going to forget the Choke at Doak (and there are few games we'd rather forget for sure) then lets at least use 13 as the denominator. Otherwise we can use SOS's winning percentage of 35% divided by Booby's (RIP you SOB) 57% and you see of the games that had a winner, Bowden won around 60% of the time and SOS around 40%. Close enough for internet math anyway, and a far cry from not very often in my book.For starters, I don’t think I care for your tone.

Mullen as a head coach is completely established by now. And what's established is that he will never, ever, win anything of substance.
We need another firing and a fumigation of the entire campus.
I’m torn. Like many others here, I don’t think CDM seems capable of winning an SEC title let alone a Natty, on the other hand, I also know that if we fire him, we are more likely to end up with Zooker, Chimp, or Butters 2.0 than SOS or CUM 2.0. My brain says that’s the chance you have to take if you want the program restored to greatness. My heart says maybe CDM can change/improve and get over the hump. I know my brain is right and my heart is wrong….But other than Cristobal, there is nothing but 7 pages of bums listed on this thread as a replacement just like it was nothing but a bunch of bum suggestions before Mullen. Mullen is close, just needs a DC.
