Are you insinuating that Dan hasn't had much luck against little Nick?
The way I see it, Danny Boy is perfect against the guy!

smoking mirrors. 3 star whisperers always win. better coaching, ya know. Just because we repeat it incessantly means he must be "better coaching".

I always felt the same way about your mother.
You've never been as creative as PastyStoole. But then again, no one is.
With head in pillow and hips upright,
I filled your mother's 'sh!tter' last night.

Her tongue was nibble, her eyes were flirty,
she ever so eagerly went South on my 'Durty.'

With cheeks colored in a rose like 'flush,'
they filled, and then bellowed, with my viscous gush.

And then 'twas I done, and from your fridge I slowly ate,
my member would harden once more, and 'twas into your mother it'd e'er 'bloviate.'

Literally one of those outcomes has any relevance. In general, if we're listing the records of all current coaches against Nick Saban, it would look very similar. So the whole thing is kind of dumb. Again though, like Mullen, hate Mullen, I don't care. What he did with a Miss State roster against the absolute machine that is present day Alabama(one that we helped create mind you) is completely moot. Saturday he'll either be 1-1 or 0-2 against Alabama as a UF head coach. All that matters.

Not to flame you, but what’s Gus’ record against Saban? Freeze? Better than most coaches. He isn’t infallible, he makes mistakes, they just don’t happen as often. Saban also owns them when he makes them, and isn’t scared to change qbs when it’s obvious one need to be made. See: 2018 CFB Playoff Championship game and 2018 SEC Championship game.

Does this mean I’m advocating for either one of those guys to be the coach at UF?

No, but I’m saying he isn’t perfect. Just close :lol:

I've remarked before that Gus doesn't get nearly the credit he deserves for his wins over Saban. But obviously you can't compare Aub to Miss St. Now Freeze is a little more apples to apples. But he was also blatantly cheating at the time, so that puts a bit of a damper on that. Does that mean both coaches aren't better overall coaches than DM? Not sure. They very well could be. I just don't see the relevance of how he faired in Starkville against Saban.

So many on here know so much more than the coaches. Swamp Donkey has never had a football uniform on in his life. But he knows a whole lot more than all these coaches. Just ask him.
He and about five more cause me to not want to read this board much anymore. There is no way they are actual gator fans.
you can always count on jmskr...

A week before the season began, a source at Florida admitted to me there was a battle going on within the coaching staff. Emory Jones had waited his turn and worked hard and had plenty of talent to win games in the SEC.

He earned the right to be the starting quarterback. Period.

But every play with Jones on the field meant one more play with Richardson – the most dynamic player on the team – on the bench. And it was clear that couldn’t happen.

“Battle going on with the coaching staff”

In other words, Mullen’s loyalty and stubbornness won out.

Thats how I read it too. And Hayes has been right on some things in the past as well so I kinda think he does have a 'source' at Florida.

Another thing brought up in the article that stuck out to me is the mention of Jones being developed by Mullen for 3+ years now. There are a lot of angles you can take with that fact but one definite way one can go is that there really hasn't been much development that can be seen thus far. All of Emory's snaps as a backup weren't very developmental; they were all really more a running QB tactic to throw the defense off versus actually developing Emory.

This was the part where he breaks down the misguided loyalty issue:

As one Florida source told me: “It was a lot like when Cam (Newton) was here in 2008. Everyone knew his talent was unique, but he wasn’t playing over Tim (Tebow).”

That decision was easy for Mullen, then the offensive coordinator at Florida for Urban Meyer. Tebow crafted one of the greatest careers in the history of the sport.

Jones, on the other hand, has a different hold on the job: the emotional connection with Mullen.

Jones was Mullen’s first quarterback recruit. He was committed to Ohio State, and on the day Mullen got the Florida job, Jones called Mullen and told him, “I want to be your quarterback.”

Mullen has invested 4 years of teaching Jones, and all the decisions (Kyle Trask over Jones when Feleipe Franks was injured in 2019) and emotion that goes with it. He wants him to succeed.

Now, the problem: In 2 games, Jones’ big advantage over Richardson – his ability to avoid disaster and ball security – has all but diminished. Jones has 4 bad interceptions in two games, and also missed play call at the goal line that ended a series on downs.

More damning: He’s not throwing with anticipation, and he’s slow getting through progressions.

The only advantage Jones has over Richardson now is experience in big games (Auburn and LSU in 2019). But at what point does that translate to diminishing returns – if it already hasn’t?

Richardson is the future at the position. The only question is when that future begins.

If it doesn't begin promptly after EJ's first non-scoring drive on Saturday then Mullen will be the unquestioned laughing stock of college football. EJ will be his starting QB and his last remaining friend in the world.

We are extremely blessed! We went through IVF and spent almost 20k dollars and got pregnant twice and lost a set of twins on our 1st attempt at week 6. Went back in 3 months later got pregnant again and lost the last egg at week 6.

We are saving to try IVF again but it will probably be a few years before we're ready. We're hoping to get a girl out of it.

Good God I don't even remember what the thread was about. Thank you for sharing your story. Gonna hug my kids a little longer tonight and thank god for their blessing.
