I will be exactly how I've always been. I'm not a big money donor so I have zero influence over who's hired and who's fired. All I can do is watch and hope for the best and that's what I always do with a new coach and staff. I hope they're what we want them to be. I pull for them to succeed until they show me their way of doing things isn't going to lead to success, or the kind of success we expect here at UF football anyway. Then I start speaking my mind about what I've been seeing. I do think sometimes it's felt pretty negative around here. Often I think it gets negative earlier than is warranted, but...then I end up getting proven wrong and that the people who started complaining "too early" were actually right. I've learned to keep my mouth shut mostly and just watch and see how things develop. Especially this last time around with Mullen. I didn't initially want him. I think most that've been around here a while know that. I was told to go away for breaking the news when Mullen was about to be hired because it bucked the narrative being told around here at the time. Anyway, enough about that. The point is, I didn't want Mullen. But we had early success under his leadership so I was pretty happy. But recruiting never started inching up towards to the top of the rankings. Our defense kept seeming to get worse and worse. The offense started well and then after bama seemed to drop off and we were a turn-over machine with EJ out there and Mullen didn't seem to want to play AR15. Some of that was injury I know, but we also heard reports he was cleared to play yet Mullen wouldn't play him. We all saw AR15 was the guy with the obvious higher skill set. And that wasn't the first time we'd seen players playing over guys we thought looked better. All this added up to me finally coming around to Mullen needed to go. I was close at the end of 2020, but 2021 just confirmed my gut feelings were right. So these are my Gatorchatter lessons learned. A lot of dudes here on this forum are smarter than I am. Or maybe I'm just a pumper at heart and hold out hope for longer than most. Either way, I do eventually tend to see the light and understand the negativity wasn't unwarranted after all. It does suck around here at times though when things start going south. The negativity can weigh on a person after a while if it's all negative all the time. Hopefully our new coach and staff will bring a happier board. Our own Gatorchatter utopia if you will.
