Something tells me that guys that might have wanted to play for Mullen but didn't because he coached at State just might come to the Gators. There is a reason why they say that UF is in fertile grounds and the right leadership can take advantage of that. Give it time and drop the pessimism. I don't think I have read one humorous or comical post from you yet. Go have a drink or two.

I said I'd rather have a young guy and give him a shot. But its not my call. I'm not defending Dan, I don't like the hire. But there's no point stomping my feet, I saw what happened. We swung and missed, badly and publicly - and Mullen is the consolation prize according to Stricklin. I'm just a realist about what this job is right now, and no amount of "but we're Florida" bravado will change that.

Anyone else going to miss our coach saying "neat" and "pretty kewl"?

Mullen wasn’t my first choice. Not even my second but let’s be real guys. Chip Kelly didn’t want to be here. Scott Frost wasn’t coming , if he leaves UCF he is almost certainly going to Nebraska. Who else realistically were we gonna get??


Mullen is a guy who has coached in the SEC for awhile now. He has done an honorable job at a university that has never seen success. We have to remember that it’s Miss State. I honestly believe he wants to be here and he can come in here and do well. Think about it. He won 8 consistently at state. Now he’s going to have better facilities, better recruiting, pretty much better everything. Plus a weaker division. He should be able to win 10+ here easily. Personally I’m happy to have a guy back that won two ships as a Gator. IMO, solid B+ hire.

Thanks. Now that I realize that I can access on Tapatalk, I will be more involved/engaged.
We have an actual branded Tapatalk app in the App Store on iOS and on Google Play. Just search "Gatorchatter".

:lol:

If it wasn't for message boards like this to vent, there would have been violent acts committed in the last day - serious felonies. I provide a valuable community service here.

Itraz, you are one of the most knowledgeable posters on the board. It is done now. Chill. Nobody wanted Prescott as a QB. Mullen took a TE and made an NFL QB. Maybe he will do it again.
