:lmao2: Just in case you.werent clear, you are the one spiking the ball into your nuts. Just like Kerwin, we love you despite how idiotic you are at time.

#1 ranking? :lmao2: He lost 4 games that year and ended up unranked. How did he get to #1? He convinced his AD to schedule FOUR geographic school cupcakes every year they NEVER played anyone OOC much less two decent teams like many schools do. Much like McElwain, his entire resume is "I beat Freeze once".

All the bullshyt about bowls and record are simply more cupcake eating. He started the season with his four cupcakes and Kintucky as his permanent win. Throw in the occasional dumpster fire at Arky or Ole Miss and you pretty much account for every win he ever managed. He average on more win a season than his cupcakes. His record against winning teams is abysmal.

Its why he was stuck in that hellhole for eight years. No one wanted him. He is a mediocre coach and a below average recruiter. The "just add more cupcakes" plan doesnt work at most schools.

It is hilarious to watch the Nulls meltdown now they realize that Taggart is what his record is, but the truth is we have the same thing coming.

Always respected your opinion, Itraz. Just curious as to why you didn't like him. Got any anecdotes as to why players and non-players disliked him. He's a bit of a nerd, but that doesn't seem like a legit reason.

After riding Urban's coattails for eight years, he probably thought his shyt didn't stink. Seeing how difficult it is to run your own gig probably humbled him in a hurry. Life can be like that.

Seriously, though, if that's all we can find at fault with the guy so far, we're in pretty good shape.

He is imo a lot more likable now than I ever thought he could be.
Building a program is all about building bridges. That's not gonna happen if you're an ass****. That's not to say he doesn't want to command respect, but he has to win over people.

didnt he give up 600 yards or something like that?

I had never even heard of Collins but I remember Mullinz destroying him in a presser after Cowbell got blown out then Butterteeth hired him like a week or so later.

Fair enough. Your description really does sound like Mac. But from the outside looking in right now, with no inside info, it seems Mullen is trying his damnedest to make this work. It's the biggest stage he (and his wife) have ever had. I have to admit, he does seem a bit weird....but I have never held being weird against anyone.
And thanks for the different perspective, some of us do appreciate it.

An arrogant person would never, on national TV, "silly-dance" in an attempt to get his maligned QB to relax and enjoy his successful game? Mullen seems more approachable than previous HCs -- less secretive, less devious, etc. Just wait to see. Give Mullen time.

Kelly not liking recruiting is not a fit for the SEC. Saban works the recruiting process like a workaholic CEO. UF expects SEC championships and to get to Saban's level you can't be passive on recruiting. Mac was a lazy recruiter. Taking illegal recruiting shortcuts is probably what got Kelly on NCAA probation. Mullen the marathoner will do the hard recruiting work.

I also thought Mullen was an uber dick face but admittedly he has done and said the right things since he was hired.

I compare him to Spurrier in that he is really good at pissing opposing fans off with his one liners. Hopefully he grows to be as successful as SOS was on the field. Like Spurrier said, if other fan bases love you it’s because they are beating you.

There were a few people in my section holding up their “money fingers” on 3rd down last week. It was like the Seinfeld where they’ve all shaven their mustache except Kramer. Thanks a lot, Geoff.
