Man that would have been the best opening line to a press conference....EVER!!!I'm very disappointed that he didn't lead off with "****ter's full"

I'll say it again: knock this crap off. No reason to turn on each other over this nightmare.
If you can't handle it, step away from the keyboard for a bit.
I don't equate supporting the new coach--whose staff already looks light years better than previous years--with being ok with mediocrity. He's hired now. If he turns out to be mediocre, he'll be run out of town, likely along with his pal AD. But the toxicity at this point just doesn't serve anyone, imo.
The ut job looks like an absolutely horrible place to coach. Not because their fans want to win, but because they become so irrational that they don't even look like human beings any more. What happened yesterday is really historic, and not in a good way. There's passion and then there's insanity. I don't want to be perceived as anything like that. We have Mullen, there are real reasons to believe he could be successful here, and I think people need to relax a bit. We've talked about cleaning house at the highest level. If DM succeeds, great. If not, a 4th straight bad hire will accomplish that cleaning. In any event, I think we stop being embarrassed on a weekly basis and up the talent level for the next guy.
On a national level, this is viewed as a great hire. And not just because our rivals want us down. It's a general sentiment. Not Kelly, not Frost, but really good nonetheless. For us to have differing views on it is understandable. But some of these reactions make us look like the crazy people in Knoxville who can't get out of their own way.
I see the old TRex is baaaaaack.
You take this stuff too serious.Questioning my allegiance after bearing witness for the last 8 years week in and week out deserves a serious beating.
You take this stuff too serious.
Good luck with that. First of all he will never sniff the SECCG so it will have to be in the regular season, and he can't beat a team with equal talent and he's a mediocre recruiter so how exactly is he kicking in Saban's teeth?He lost to Saban 9 times in a row. You know he's going to be motivated to kick Bama's teeth in once he has the players.
His plan is to win. He expects to win like he did before. His schemes and play calls beat Saban before. He believes he'll beat him again when he has equal players. He'll need to get top ten recruiting classes every year for starters. He knows this. He expects to get it done.Good luck with that. First of all he will never sniff the SECCG so it will have to be in the regular season, and he can't beat a team with equal talent and he's a mediocre recruiter so how exactly is he kicking in Saban's teeth?
We'll see if he can do it. I hated Cousin Eddie as much as everyone else, but he's Coach Mullen now, so all is forgiven.
It wasn't our decision to hire him, but we're stuck with him. You must examine the contrarian viewpoint.Okay...So yay Coach Dahmer? He's a Gator now! All hail Coach Putin! He's a Gator now? You hated him before but since he was hired by an incompetent...all hail Mullen? That makes no sense.
No it's not. Knowledgeable fans know Mullen sucks. Talking heads are slobbering over him, meanwhile a guy I work with who is a huge Miami fan sent me a text as soon as he heard it saying "congrats on Mullen" just waiting for me to explode back a reply then he was sending LOL's saying "I thought you would feel that way, we wouldn't even give the guy an interview LOL." I was like, "yeah, F-off, Clemson's going to destroy you and I can almost guarantee you finish with a 3 game losing streak, it's what Richt does."
Point is plenty of fans of our rivals know this is a crap hire, but it's clear you guys have talked yourself into believing in the Mighty Mullet.
How did we learn SS isn't that guy? Just curious. Foley made the past hires and put facilities in the dumpster. SS is moving facilities forward and has made TWO hires (football and women's basketball) and there's almost no data to support that either one is a failure in their current roles at UF.
And yet...I found him somewhat evasive on the question about he and his wife's past comments about UF.He's completing full sentences and isn't just drifting off into pointless blather. So that's a start.
I also like that he isn't doing the overplayed "we're gonna do it the right way" routine, essentially building in excuses from the start. He said multiple times--this is about getting the UF program back to a championship level. That's what's most important. Emphasized it several times.
You think Mullen is a better coach than Richt? Miami's recruiting classes are crap and they are a game away from the playoff.When I say “national”, yes I mean people who actually know college football and can see things objectively. I don’t mean rival fans, especially hurricanes who are typically as educated on football as a retarded goat. May want to ask him why such a horrible coach had a 1-1 head-to-head record against Richt at uga, while using MissSt talent. I’m sure the insightful response you’ll receive will blow you away.
Seriously, racking up a 74% winning percentage at a school with ever advantage imaginable, is just light years better than 60% with a program that doesn’t a single one.
Ftr, I don’t view this a homerun hire by any means, and will not be surprised if we’re back in this position 3-4 years from now. But I don’t see it as a crap hire either. I’m just not interested in being miserable about this until I’m given no choice. And what’s more annoying than anything is being criticized for trying to see the positives in a situation that hasn’t even officially begun.

I guess you could say I'm in the holiday spirit .... He's our Cousin/Coach now. I love Eddie. He brought home the boss. He'll kidnap Saban for us and we'll win.Okay...So yay Coach Dahmer?

Equating a cannibalistic serial killer or dictator to a college football coach doesn't quite make sense, but that's what makes you you.Okay...So yay Coach Dahmer? He's a Gator now!
