I've went ahead and registered www.firedanmullen.com for ya Ox. Gonna start a new GoFundMe to raise enough Ox bucks for his buyout and start the search. I mean, cuz Crootin', right?
Which gets you invited to the Citrus Bowl.......again. While the two teams we lost to are are pushing for a playoff spot. Not sure how many more meaningless Novembers I can endure before I move on and just start playing golf on Saturday's in the fall.
@soflagator just stop. Too reasonable. Destined to fail.But while I understand your point, you’re in essence making the one I’ve stated over and over. If this is 2011, we’re all fine with that. If we’re honest, we’re not mad at 2018-2019. We’re mad at 2010-2017. That wasn’t going to change under anyone’s watch. No one likes to lose, and I was furious Saturday. But you can’t speed things up. If you want to scrap it with a 17-5 coach and start again, I’m fine with that. But he’s also not going to come in and fix things instantly. It’s not happening. We lost a decade. How many teams just turn on a dime after that and dominate?
If we win out, and lose 3 games next year, Mullen will have the same amount of losses as Spurrier did through his first three seasons. And he’s been on record many times talking about that ‘90 team he inherited and how much it helped. You really think Mullen would say the same about our current squad, or last years? Acting as if what he’s done is nothing is ridiculous.
Again, I get the frustration. But it should be about much of what preceded Mullen more so than what we’ve seen since.
I get your point, but the Spurrier analogy doesn't hold water. Steve won the SEC in his first two seasons and then had a third year swoon with a young but talented team (two true freshman tackles that were stalwarts for years, but green in year 1). I get that this isn't all on Mullen, but the fatigue is real. I'm not a casual fan. I either care or I don't. I don't need to just be entertained for the day. There are plenty of things I can do to fill my Saturdays. For 35+ years I've dedicated by Saturday's in the fall to my gators. If they really don't care about winning anymore, I'm beginning to wonder why I should care anymore too.But while I understand your point, you’re in essence making the one I’ve stated over and over.

Too logical. STFU Captian Spock.But while I understand your point, you’re in essence making the one I’ve stated over and over. If this is 2011, we’re all fine with that.

This is an embarrassing post, even for you.I've went ahead and registered www.firedanmullen.com for ya Ox. Gonna start a new GoFundMe to raise enough Ox bucks for his buyout and start the search. I mean, cuz Crootin', right?
Why wait??Which gets you invited to the Citrus Bowl.......again. While the two teams we lost to are are pushing for a playoff spot. Not sure how many more meaningless Novembers I can endure before I move on and just start playing golf on Saturday's in the fall.

Majority of what? The majority of people who havent also quit due to the Lost Decades? We are the 5-10% that is left.And maybe you’re right - I don’t doubt you would be dissatisfied but I doubt you represent the majority here.
