Well here I am posting back here. But I don't know where else this can be posted. This is the one board unlike boards at 247sports, Rivals etc where the owner does not make his money on recruiting. So this is the board where this can be said despite Donkey fainting and calling names and trying to cut off debate.
To the extent Mullen is in trouble this season it is because he lost to UK at team he has much more talent than and LSU a team with equal talent and terrible coaching. When your 13 losses at UF include TWO to UK, one at home to UMo and TWO to reeling LSU programs, the issue is having your team ready to play each week NOT recruiting. When your two bad losses are 7 point losses in one game where you scored 13 points and another game where you allowed 49 points, it is not a matter of defense or offense it is a matter of having your team ready to play both sides of the ball every week. When you screw up some simple thing in place kicking in every one of your losses there, you don't have your whole team focused and ready to play.
Of course the guys selling recruiting rankings and player star rating will tell you it is all about recruiting. That is in their self interest. The biggest hint it is not about recruiting was Smart mouthing off in the post game press conference last week. GATORS DON'T TAKE ADVICE FROM BULLDOGS. Smart does not have UF's best interest at heart. He was not giving you heartfelt advice to help UF's program get better. Smart was and is trying to sew discord in UF program. Don't help him out by running down UF's current players even implicitly.
Dare to think differently than the pack. Understand the self interest of the recruiting services and Kirby Smart. Don't give Mullen the talent excuse. UF has a very talented squad and should not be 4-4.
