Grantham STAYING; assistant coach hires & fires

lagator said:

The NCAA show-cause and the program being on probation is a major strike against Mullinz and should have him on a short lease. The only thing saving him is he is Stricklin's guy and Sticklin sold us on how great a situation the hire was for us and how chips will be rolling in with numbnuts instilling the Gator standard through relentless effort.

Of course all of that was complete BS with Mullen having won nothing of significance, the program on probation, and Mullen acting like a retard at his pressers. So Stick is between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand Mullen is dive-bombing the program with bizarre behavior, poor recruiting and poor results, claiming the losses don't really count, defending and keeping one of the worst coordinators in program history, etc. On the other, Mullen is the defining hire in Stricklin's tenure and he told us (as you can see in my sig) what a great hire it was going to turn out to be, so Stricklin will come out looking really bad if he cans Mullen. So he's doubling down on Mullen which is only going to make it worse when the program really crashes and burns, most likely next season.

This may have been mentioned in this thread. If so, I apologize. I am not going back and reading through 30 pages. But, according to 1010xl, Mullen did not fire Gray and English. The administration fired them. Mullen wasn’t going to get rid of anyone on his staff.

Firing Gray after he already had a job lined up, isn't really firing a dude except to save face.

I have no idea what is true nor do I care. But, according to 1010xl, Gray did not have a job lined up. He was fired. Then, he sought out the USCe job. What I found interesting was the administration fired two coaches against Mullinz wishes. Also, if true, 1010xl’s story doesn’t save face. It makes things look worse.

I've been a supporter and follower for years on this and previous site. I appreciate passion in our Gator fans. However, I'm getting very frustrated at all the negativity displayed on the Board. A new visitor would think UF could do nothing right. Yeah, we have our moments to bit**. But to do it continually over and over again just amplifies negativity.

90% of the programs out there can only envy UF's success in the major and all-sports success.
