I’ve explained before my family history of tailors. It’s in my genes.

Look, no one here cares what anyone else here wears(I do suspect Doug has cuffed shorts, but that’s a separate issue). And if anyone of us looked like Mullen in a “once a year” dress up moment, no one would say a word. But we’re talking about someone making 6mil a year, having access to a hundred people who could help, and yet looking like a complete buffoon on a regular basis as dressing up for pictures is an elemental part of the job. That’s the point.


Thankfully he doesn’t have a nest on top of his head, gleefully digs eclairs out of the trash and returns from the bathroom with his shirt off .

This is f*cking ridiculous! I could see giving him a modest (by SEC head coaches standards) raise and extension...but $1.5 million/year? We could have added another team sport for that kind of money!

:shambles:

We finish the season with three straight losses, so they extend his contact by three years and pay him millions more. I just don't get the logic or what they see in him unless the UAA truly is perfectly satisfied with being slightly above mediocre and not winning championships.

This is a terrible business decision and of questionable value to the program.

The big knock on Mullen when he got here was 1) mediocre recruiting; 2) inability to win the big games; 3) terrible record vs Top 25 teams.

He's done better than most of us expected in terms of winning big games and getting somewhat better at recruiting (hasn't delivered Top 5 classes, but we are reliably bringing in Top 10-15 classes); but is a mixed bag on results really justify an increase to his comp package? He still hasn't won anything but a SEC East title when here...so what's the rationale to make him paid more than Kirby Smith??

The "NFL interest" was agent nonsense, not based on actual interest; and while he could probably get another job elsewhere in college football...what would be an upgrade to his situation here? Nothing open right now.

The raise isn't justified based on production or on competition; and makes it more difficult to fire him later on. Again, a terrible decision by UF.

Must have been all that interest from NFL teams that made Fooley and his puppet rush to give Cousin Eddie more money. Nothing like being able to get ta raise when exactly no one else is interested in you.

Worked for Muschamp and Butters... why not Mullens
