Seems like a little progress. A huge year with our schedule might get us that top 3 class we need.
bad facilities will fix bad facilities, if this ever happens years down the road.ummmmmm.....How are the facility upgrades coming along? Once all those big football spending projects to bring the bling to our FB complex that Strickland has been fighting for are finished, we will be top 5 every year......right?
Kirby is dorky as hell too. Satan looks and acts like.....Satan.My gut instinct is that there's likely a lot of truth to The Donk's "Dorky Dan" moniker. Perhaps Mullen does come across as an awkward, uncool doofus to these kids. But then I look at Kirby Smart. To me he seems at least as dorky as Dan, if not more so. So maybe there's more to it than that.
A big part of McElwain’s successful first two seasons was that he went 7-1 in one-score games. When that success regressed to the mean (2-2 under McElwain in 2017), the bottom fell out.
Mullen has gone 6-1 in close games during his tenure. A lot of that is due to his abilities as a coach, but those things tend to level out over time. Were he 4-3 or 3-4 in those games – as we would expect – would we feel as rosy going into 2020?
So.... let's just stay where we are."Eventually," a shameless para-plagiarization of some meme about good times leading to soft men, by G. Gordon Gator:
Complacency eventually leads to outdated facilities.
Outdated facilities eventually lead to poor recruiting.
Poor recruiting eventually leads to bad teams.
Bad teams eventually lead to new coaches.
New coaches eventually beg AD's for better facilities.
AD's eventually beg boosters for more money.
Boosters eventually kick in more money.
More money eventually leads to better facilities.
Better facilities eventually lead to better recruits.
Better recruits eventually lead to better teams.
Better teams eventually lead to championships.
Championships eventually lead to complacency.
Eventually everything repeats itself.
Its about the same thing. 3rd in the sec still puts us top 5.
