For those that seem to think I’m satisfied with the outcome and coaching just because I said there’s a talent gap, don’t make assumptions. The coaching and play calling needs to get better, I was yelling at my TV just like everyone else, it’s just that I think we will have these kind of outcomes no matter what until we bridge the gap in talent. And Mullen hasn’t shown he’s capable of doing that. I’m not sure what the answer is.

If the shoe fits...

He’s starting a significant advantage with support. He exploits it for better recruits. Then his team is significantly more talented than all the team on their schedule (as you have pointed out so many times). With all that talent, he continues to get into slugfests with way less talented teams. What happens in between? And give him that TD - they converted 1 attempt in the RZ for a TD and needed a ridiculously bad REVIEWED played to get it. Spurrier never had that benefit here. They’ll scuttle another game this season before the SECCG if they keep playing this way. But yea, hanging on for a 7 point win against a team playing as bad as it has all year with way less talent is a big feather in his cap...

Yawn.... I get it. You're content with losing. Good night, loser.

Any chance we can lure Norvell away from Memphis? How is his recruiting acumen?

At least we get an extra hour to drink more and wallow in our sorrows. We will survive this.

We won’t win anything as long as Grantham and English are roaming the sidelines. Add to that the mediocre recruiting staff we have, and this is what we can expect.

Oh, and Mullen’s playcalling/decisions today were absolutely atrocious. He’s had a lot of questionable decisions this year where I can’t fathom what he’s thinking, like any time he tries a QB power with Trask.

Fix this, Dan!

**** Ron English !

I'd be happy with either of them, but didn't realize you jumped off the Norvell train.
I've just seen too many flops coming from those mid majors and I've seen Mullen is pretty solid. I'm just not sure I'd trade Mullen for an unknown right now. Not to mention norvell has had 2 8 win seasons in his tenure. I still like him but I'm probably not as high on him as I was.

We lost to Ugly. Again. It sux. For those of us who live in Ga. it particularly sux as we have to put up with the abuse from these in breds for another year. My SIL came over for the game and tried to cheer me up after by saying “We’ll crush them in the SEC CG” (she’s a Bama grad) and so naturally I tried to snap her head off. Fortunately I have a lot of credit with her and she let it go (and now we’re drinking together as she and Mrs G talk - and we’re about to switch to bourbon so truly all is forgiven.) I tell you all this so you all can see from where I am coming - and yes I am currently somewhat impaired. In my worthless opinion CDM was absolutely the right hire and is still the right coach to run the program. The end of the CUM era, combined with the disasters that were the Chimp and Butters reigns, and when you mix in the ignorance that was Fooley, we were left where we are YEARS away from competing for titles. YEARS. When you take a dispassionate look at the roster he inherited, CDM has overachieved. Yes recruiting MUST improve, but really what can any HC at UF sell to recruits right now? (Feel free to insert a joke about ceiling tiles and carpet squares here.). Our facilities and housing are substandard, our cost of attendance payout is lower than our rivals and we aren’t truly in the title hunt. CDM is not an elite recruiter, but I’m not sure it would matter if he were. Yes, he needs to get rid of some of his assistants; yes Grantham is more than likely not the answer; but CDM is a very good HC and I’m not giving up on him in less than two seasons. He has fixed much of what was wrong and he had much left to fix. I will never “trust the coaches” again (twice burned, once shy), but I am willing to be patient. I believe we were that broken. I also know we are a spoiled fan base; between SOS and CUM we won a lot of hardware. That is the standard and until CDM can equal that he will be viewed as “unsuccessful.” However, I also am convinced, for the reasons stated, it ain’t happening overnight. In summation, the concept of firing CDM is ridiculous and asinine and quite frankly not worthy of even a GCMB thread (and that’s saying something). I know many will disagree with me; I ask only that with the inevitable negative ratings you include who we should now ( or should have two years ago) hire instead. And what the hypothetical coach should do to improve recruiting. And how long will you give him to become “successful.” I’m out.

How does Dan's d*ck taste like, moron?
Wouldn’t know. What about Kirby’s? Maybe UGA’s a better fit for you. You love recruiting and Kirby, apparently. You’d get a mouthful of both at dawgnation.

I think you need to come down from the Witches Watch.....btw Bert is calling the Patriots defense and is killing it .
Bert is a gd position coach likely to be fired if he keeps running off players.

The only thing he is killing is hogeys and coneys.

The ole "I'm a better fan than you are" come-back. Weak. So weak. Take Dan's d*ck out of your mouth before you type your next response, please.

. But the difference was in the talent, we have to start paying players like Bama and UGA or we will always be second fiddle.
We could just hire some competent recruiters and replace the cowbell trash we have.

it has worked in the past and works at other schools still.

I'm pissed--and not just the drunk British version.
Even chimp found a way to beat those flea-ridden mud sucking dwags.
I just want to line up the entire coaching staff and smash them in the face.
honestly, we're damn lucky to be Kentucky and USC Junior.

Coming from the moron who can’t think of anything better than di*k jokes. And I don’t care who the better fan is - I just know you look like a moron when you run around with your hair on fire about the guy who does less with more.
