RUMOR: Mullen is out

[URGatorBait]

Even if they do fire him...I fully expect this admin to fuch up the next hire

 

[Ancient Reptile]

it’s a GREAT year to shop

Rhule
Napier
Freeze
Cristobal

ANY of those guys would be 3x the coach Mullen is. They would be elite recruiters out the gate. Only Cristobal would be suspect as a play caller

Cristobal to usc, Napier to lsu, Rhule has a losing record and the admin won't hire freeze. Enjoy your window shopping, too bad the Gators don't have a credit card.

I agree. This is a strong year to make a coaching change because there are several good to great candidates. It is much stronger than average. There are even a few very good ones that you didn't even list like Fickell.

Rhule would be great, but does he hate the NFL or something? I know his entire career has been in the coaching ranks, so he could be one of those college guys that tries the NFL, hates it, and then comes back to college for good.

Mullen has lost the fan base, boosters, team, recruiting class, and now the national media is laughing at Florida and Dan Mullen. It looks like the good guys beat the bad guys (the admin) and forced some changes.

Cue the celebration music at the end of star wars episode 1.

When the fish stinks, you don’t get room freshener. You get a new grouper.

I see that Matt Rhule is not doing so well in the NFL. He'd be a good hire.
He sort of looks like the guy who played "Edgar The Bug" in Men In Black.

Fickell wouldn’t be at the top for me but he would still be a substantial upgrade over Mullen.

Even Franklin and Kiffin are options even though I would want neither.

Rhule is a DC. I'd welcome his OC though

Edit. Rhule was an OC/qb coach at temple for a while. Actually has coached both sides

Wait and see what, exactly? I mean what the Fuchs else does anyone need to see?

This would be a great time to clear all the cowbell stench out of the athletic department. Send both of those program killing asshats back to Starkville where they belong.

 

[PaulDrake]

"Wait and see." Let's imagine for a moment if you were told that regarding your own job. For me that would be the writing on the wall about my future there. Over.

They want to see if we can give up 100 to somebody before the season is over.

 

[Double Gator Dad]

It was homecoming, a third of the stadium was empty, and all the major power players and donors were there to see that first half.

I could have sworn that Homecoming was several weeks ago

 

[Gatorraid81]

When will Stricklin be fired? He doesn't need to be anywhere near the next coaching search.

 

[Gator98MD]

It’s prob admin speak. I’m sure the plan is to let him finish out the season. Then he’ll be canned. They just don’t want to adjudicate this in public

 

[Bait'n Gator]

What else can they say but wait and see? Everyone with a functioning brain knows he's toast, just for some reason or the other they don't wanna announce it until after the season. Not sure why because recruiting is shyt regardless and it's not like Mullen is still coaching for his job. That b!tch quit again after Alabama. Their probably still negotiating the buy out and don't wanna do anything to embarrass all parties involved more than both sides already have.

It explains Mullen’s oddball celebratory behavior after the game. He knows he’s out. He’s decided to foster an us versus them atmosphere as his final act of defiance. The players are mere pawns.

He also basically left with the fans. I’m assuming there were no recruits there that would’ve kept them around campus because it was a beautiful late afternoon that would’ve been perfect for visitors who were still here. Instead he passed my wife and I on the way home. I can only assume he and Megs are binge watching something on Netflix.

My wife was already annoyed at the game and listening to Steve Russell. The fact that we had to pull over and let his motorcade(“this shmuck” as she put it) go by on 24th just about set her off.
