Fellas, before someone else quits the board, this thread was obviously started so we could talk about the state of the program. Even I'm not dumb enough to think Mullen's job is in jeopardy. As a matter of fact, I'd be shocked if he didn't get an extension. Strickin thinks the world of him, and the idea of Stricklin having to actually do some work with another coaching search does not sit well. Also, the AD and the upper staff are just fine winning 8 to 10 games a year. They don't think like the Bama brass. They don't give a **** about titles, they really don't. The bills are getting paid, that's what matters.
So, since we're stuck with Mullen, what changes are we going to see? People are hoping for some staff changes, but I just don't see it. Nothing major, anyway. What about recruiting? Can we get some of the bag men to come up with some bigger payouts and purses? If that's what it's going to take, that's what we'll have to do.
However, outside of landing a Heisman QB, our Gators simply do not have the look of team that is going to win titles anytime soon, and every bad recruiting class only knocks that back years.
I'm just venting. I'll keep watching and rooting, but the expectations need to be permanently lowered. Thanks Foley.
Like I said before, we have now officially returned to the pre-SOS Gator Standard that Mullen preaches constantly, one where wins against UGA will be very rare, and we manage to play well enough to get into bowls like the Outback, Citrus, or Gator and nothing more.
