Nope just common sense. It really isnt hard to foresee what kind of teams Chimp, Butters, and Cousin Eddie are going to put on the field.

So, you're saying: "Our future looks blight.?"

He is gone next October 31st adn his offense will be back to "Mullinz Normal" 50-70th.

There is nothing to enjoy about being third tier.

The only perquisite in being a 3rd tier program is the opportunity to agonize over just how close you came to carving out a niche in the lower reaches of the 2nd tier. "If only I hadn't fumbled while driving for the winning score, or thrown a shoe in a fit of abject idiocy, or just decided to NOT take the bowl game off, we coulda been a contender!". A lightly regarded, comic-relief kind of contender, so to speak - but hey...we're talking 2nd tier here!

"...we'll have Elijah Blades."

Enjoy the ride? Naa. Way too bumpy to enjoy.

Yeah, because the UAA has never given a raise and extension along with a vote of confidence before firing a coach before.

This. I'm not sure why anyone thinks any extension or raise will have any bearing on matters. It's literally what we do. If I remember correctly, even Zook was offered a new contract in the offseason before '04. It was only because he chose to postpone things--feeling that was his year and would justify a much bigger deal--that we weren't on the hook for more with him. We're injecting prudence and logic into a discussion involving our UAA and their willingness to blow other people's money. Therein lies the mistake.

Ole Zook would have won an NC if we just gave him time. /pumpers

He might do so before Disco Dan, he has already taken a team to the Rose Bowl.

Donk tell me this where and why is he going anywhere? He just got a contract extension, the NFL is getting cold on him, what other College team is going to pay him what he's making at Fl.
It would take 2-3 really bad years for him to get fired at Fl.
Like it or not he's going to be around a while.

@RiverRat

The perception of last year was that it was bad, simply because of the Lsu game and the bowl, neither of which appeared to be games we cared about. Completely renders the effort against Alabama, and to some degree the win over uga, as meaningless. So that's one.

I'm not sure if you know much about our resident counsel here, but he's generally not real high on upcoming seasons(think he said we'd be decent in summer of '96). So he's of the opinion this year goes south in a hurry. Agree or not, that'd be two.

Throw in the same recipe next season, including penciling in a 4th loss in 5 tries against uga, and he arrives at his date and your "2-3 bad years" requirement

As I said, you don't have to share the opinion. I'm not there myself. But there's enough to suggest it's a plausible outcome and timeline.

Well to be fair his Rose Bowl was after the playoffs therefore really just a Citrus Bowl for the Big 10.

Of course, douchebag has never even achieved a Citrus Bowl level finish (2nd best in SEC). His "New Years Six" bowls are Zookish, third to fifth in SEC. Sugar Bowl is the new Citrus Bowl.

Can we trade Zook for Mullins? I'd be ok with that

Haha, Renard904 loves him some Mullins pee pee

Starting to feel the need for a change in thread title.

 

[rogdochar]

The AAU needs to get Meyer to drive to Gainesville to give Mullen that David Nelson turnaround talk.? De-deadbeat Mullen.

I agree that the LSU and OU games are a big part of that, but there's a bunch of other things too. Some of the pressers were downright embarrassing (after TAMU, and Mizzou for instance), the fight against Mizzou, the continued failure to improve recruiting, and the absolute schitt-show on defense. I could go on, but you get the point (and I was starting to sound like Swonk).
