I keep remembering the way Stricklin kept referring to UF's "resources" during the post Mullen canning. I don't think the admin was going to open the checkbook for Mullen because after he was here a bit, they realized what they had. Waste of money.

I’m convinced there was serious internal conflict, maybe over the show cause penalty and/or something else, that soured the relationship. We may never really know exactly but the atmosphere went south in a hurry.

Stricklin was AD at Miss State from 2010-2016. Mullen was head coach at Miss State from 2009-2017.

So they worked together for 7 years prior to UF, and it wasn't until two or three years later that Stricklin realized what he had? That doesn't make sense at all.

You're right, it doesn't. IMO, he never figured it out. While at Miss. St. Mullen's actions were enough to be better than their history and to make them happy. But at Florida he couldn't be consistantly superior and had several factors that made him appear "off".
IMO, it was the Bull Gators and their money that pushed our AD to do something that he was either still not seeing or just getting a grip and opinion on...he was in denial and his hand was forced.

Does this qualify as an ad hominem?

I would not say this qualifies as an ad hominem. The poster retorted with a Zookism. I pointed out in an indirect way that his statement was a Zookism. He could have and did discuss it more. I could just said, that statement makes you sound like Zook, but to that is not as interesting a way to further the conversation.
