Tom we are in year one, there is no right or wrong about this hire yet... That's the problem so many are down on their knees praying to the alter, instead of stepping back and saying... it's year 1, there is at least 3 years until Mullen has gotten it to be his program. A lot of people were saying the same type of things including making excuses in 2015. Why can't we pump the brakes to see what we actually have.
We are all Gators wanting what is best for the program, and it seems the pumpers want to dismiss the concerns that are still valid on this hire. In 2020 is when we will truly know what we have.
Big picture, I agree. Way too early to conclude anything. But you can see some positives and there is nothing wrong with pointing that out. You can also see some negatives and there is nothing wrong with pointing that out either.
If you goal is to stop the pumpers, you have no chance. None.
If the pumpers want everyone to feel the sunshine, they have almost no chance either.
I guess, in the end, hardcore elements of both sides bother me. Lets just give it some time and enjoy the trip. Last year at this time, the season was over. I want to enjoy the next 4 weekends.
Doug, my comment was not aimed at you personally.
