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

[BruceWayne]

Stricklin somehow picks the one guy that I dislike more than Mcelwain..I didn't think that was possible.

And none without Urban. And Urban has one without him

As an offesive coordinator. Didnt McElwain win a couple of Natties as an offensive coordinator? Not as a head coach ... CEO.

Dude, eat a snickers.

Eating a Snickers will not change the fact the Cousin Eddie is an infuriatingly average and boring hire that likely won't work out for anyone but the Mullens.

 

[SaintPeteGator]

No, but point being what has Mullen done w/out studs like them? Lose every big game just like McElwain. At least bag of cats crazy Chip Kelly won without having all world players like Urban brought in while Mullen was the OC. One could argue even Nuss couldn't mess up that NFL filled roster we had. Well maybe that's going a bit too far.

Agreed. Dan Mullen's Mississippi State teams were not as good as Alabama, LSU, and Auburn during the same time frame. BREAKING NEWS: Mississippi State is not as good as Alabama, LSU, and Auburn. How many games should he reasonable have been expected to win? Like I mentioned earlier, MSU had won only 37 games in the nine years before Mullen got there and he won 69. How did he do it? Luck?

I understand wanting Chip Kelly or Scott Frost but both of them chose other schools instead of Florida. Be pissed that the University of Florida gets passed over for UCLA. Be pissed that the University of Florida can't get the UCF coach to even interview. Don't make up arguments as to why Dan Mullen can't coach.

Gloom, despair and agony on me...

Wanna feel better? Go look at UT boards.

Not sure why they're so upset. I thought they'd all been clamoring for an ex-Bucs coach this whole time?

 

[BruceWayne]

Well, he beat the hell out of LSU & they damn near beat Bama with their 2nd string QB. So, I guess your right......

**YOU'RE** just wrong. Nearly beating bama doesn't get you anything. They also got blown out at home to a pathetic ole Miss team with an interim coach. No way you could be trying to be excited for this hire right? **You're** excited about this hire? You're probably the only one.

Good thing we didn't hire your friend's drunk dad.

How do you know Mac wasn’t his little league coach? The drunk part seems plausible to me. :)

Dabo Swinney, Nick Saban, Jimbo Fisher, Urban Meyer. That is the entire list of active coaches who have won a national title.

I thought the barb was directed at Mullen or Urban, not Jimbo.

 

[MTGator]

It’s a good hire but the best part is watching the meltdown on this board. Most of the opinions here are based on other’s opinions here and aren’t considering all the facts. Relax.

 

[ATXGator]

Of all the sick twisted **** we say on here and a joke about homosexual rape pushes you over the edge? Seriously man loosen up, it's a fcking message board. Maybe it's little to rough and tough in here for you.

Your right. Rape pushes me over the edge. I guess I am just not as sick and twisted as you. Seriously... get help. If you think rape is a joke... you need it.

 

[BruceWayne]

There's probably two dozen candidates that would be better accepted by the fan base. Just an unbelievably bad choice by Stricklin. He has to know right? Is he just that clueless?? He's gonna get up there for the presser and try to tell us this was a good choice?? He's gotta know that nearly the entire fan base hates this guy. He's on a level with muschamp and mcelwain and he hasn't even ****ed up the HC job here yet like the other two names.

When you spit at the keyboard because *your* having to resort to grammar smack, the. You need to re-evaluate *you’re* life.

 

[GatorInGeorgia]

Welcome to the board. Illegitimi non carborundum.


Seriously, I read somewhere that he couldn't pass due diligence with Florida or Tennessee.

That screams goats loud and clear!

Geez, dude, he's only trying to be logical about the whole thing. Excitement is one thing, results is another.

This is true. This is the secret to Bama's success. They have significantly more NFL-ready players, so whatever "Offense" they run is gonna look all world. Cousin Eddie was All-world when he had NFL-All Stars, the Pouncey Twins executing his schemes. Plus, Tebow, Percy and Hernandez who could score or bust a cap in your ass at any moment. Cousin Eddie Hire can EABOD pronto.

 

[FireFoley]

I am assuming that the typical shills have weighed in on this thru their particular forums and are probably calling this the greatest hire in the SEC since Alabama was able to "claw" Paul "Bear" Bryant away from Texas A&M.
