It's time to officially fire up the head coaching search. Who you got?

I don't give a rat's ass how he does it next year, but he WILL beat them next year.

I agree with most of your post except this last line. I don't see a win next year either. UGA was young and inexperienced in the skill positions this year (other than Fromm and Swift). This was our chance to get them. Next year, they'll have the better roster AND the experience. We'll probably lose by 21 or more.

It's not a Mullen thing...sorry Ox I respectfully disagree. Currently the roster is about 60% butters recruits. I can count at least 6 games over the last two years we don't win with Muschamp or butters.

We are short on talent on the o and d lines. That's the biggest issue. Depth is second, everywhere. Butters sucked a$$ as a recruiter and we are behind.

If Mullen can't recruit top end talent, then it is his problem, and he should go.

Yesterday we just got beat on the o line and d line period. Play calling was suspect but how much of that is because he doesn't trust his o line.

I think we all thought we would be seven and two or six and three at this point. we would like to be undefeated but that's not realistic

We are a work in progress but on the right track.

I am a 58 year old retired Army Ranger and know with work and discipline we can be Champions again. Seen better days as a Gator, but have seen a hell of lot worse.

GO GATORS!

Thought that the thread title meant a Gator search, but Ox was dead on the money-- he was talking about a Seminole search.

Unless we are in the second decade.

We had it 2nd down and 1 inch

As frustrating as the eventual 4 & inches call was, the 2nd & inches lack of attacking downfield when UGA had to be partially committed to stopping the run was a bad omen for what would occur much of the rest of the game.

Every team has problems, but our biggest problem is talent level. All those third downs converted was a talent gap. Sad thing is, we are years away from bridging the gap even if we start getting top classes this year, which we aren’t.

I agree. I hope some better talent sees the opportunity here. I just hope we shine the rest of the way.

Meyer and Muschamp didn’t have any issue recruiting with these facilities. Let’s stop using this excuse.

Actually Creyer did complain, ehen he talked about "the state of college football" as one of his excuses for leaving, and Dooley and other parrots said he was talking about Bammer.

Everyone got ESPN money and everyone but us and Vandy spent it on facilities.

You’re also talking about a decade plus ago. It’s a different world and we got caught flat footed. Muschamp is great at selling in a short term basis, so no surprise he(with Durkin’s help) was able to recruit.

But to Jay’s point, yes, the problem isn’t just that our facilities are behind. It’s that we have subpar recruiters trying to sell a program that’s been terrible for most of the last 10 years AND has a facilities issue. The combination is what’s hurting us.

But I’ll continue to say, I want DM to succeed because I’ve grown to like him much more than I did. He also represents stability, which we needed two years ago and still do. But also, we fell into him after chasing what looks like garbage at this point but was shiny at the time. I have zero faith the Stricklin would make a great hire the next go around. So we could and likely would end up much worse than what we have. So for many reasons, we need DM to get us over this hump and fast.

I do think with Mullen we have won some games that with our two former dipsticks of head coaches, we would have been done at half time. He can get the kids to play and stay in games. Buuuuut as Ox and others have mentioned, the recruiting HAS to get better fast. We have no chance in the SEC, much less the NC picture without top 5 classes. Smart has been able do to at UGA, Mullen should be able to as well. It's great to get a top 10 class, but if four or five other schools that are ahead of you are from your own conference, what have you accomplished? I want Mullen to succeed, I like the way the kids play for him, but recruiting has to improve a great deal.

Yes yes yes yes. I agree with every point completely.

Basically everything is wrong w recruiting:

HC is a bad recruiter;
Assistant coaches are terrible recruiters save maybe one or two;
Tiny recuiting staff and none are proven recruiters;
Recent record of mediocrity;
Facilties stuck in the 80s.

We can only a few of those and I see no effort at all to do the ones we can fix (while keeping Mullinz).

My buddy with connected friends thinks they're going after bob stoops. I said hes crazy. They want the guy in place before December signing day. Which would mean no active coach....just saying

It is Stoops, just not Bob.

They will hire him on Nov 31st after UK vs Loovulle and he will be there for two weeks before signing day, just as Mullinz was.

A mediocre hire but a guy good enough to go toe-to-toe with Mullinz obviously.

SavannahGator · Nov 3, 2019

One loss and everyone jumps ship. McElwain left us in a shambles. For Mullen to have come in and turned this around so quickly - well, if UF took your advice and started a search, the whole football world would think the administration is out of its mind.

At the beginning of this season I figured we'd finish 10-2 in the regular season with losses to LSU and GA, and my prediction is on track. I also thought that we'd reach where we want to be in our third year. We're on track. Am I disappointed with yesterday's loss? Sure. But am I going to jump ship after a loss to GA? No. Wanting to can Mullen at this point in his tenure is the height of absurdity.

It's time to officially fire up the head coaching search. Who you got?
