Right now is a fine time for a transition to take place..... transition teams O & D, transition QB, transition OL, transition et.al. Don't see a better place for a transition span to be inserted by Mullen. ?? Is there an HC out there that we could have signed who could step in to give us a 10+ win 2018 ?

Any coach who didnt run a spread offense would be a slightly easier transition.

No coach could overcome the terrible recruiting from the last three years.

10+ isnt reasonable. 6+ may take a miracle.

The grading should be done one how much improvement we make toward the end of the season and how well this staff can sell their vision to recruits.

I will be way more upset about not having a top 10 class, hopefully top 5 than not having 10 wins. (Actually I will be astonished to see 9 or 10 wins.)

So you are asking what coaches UF could have actually hire out there who next year could beat:

1. Charleston Southern
2. Idaho
3. Colorado State
4. Kentucky
5. Missouri
6. SoCar
7. at Vandy
8. at Miss. St
9. at UTn
10. LSU

That would require beating LSU coached by Ed Orgeron and there is at UTn with a new coach. I think the list of guys who could pull that off is quite long.

The extreme + or minus #s are all biased speculations with no connections to truth.?? Still, why the driving force to predict the negatives.

6 wins would take a "miracle" with our garbage schedule? Your hate (and relentless determination to piss people off) is getting the better of you. Mac was the worst coach in the history of college football and he won the damn East twice.

Second graph. He's dumping on Mac. I do think we can register eight wins, but probably no more. The following season is a different story.

Let's examine this with a clear head shall we.
We are by my pretty decent assessment abilities the 4th or possibly the 5th best team in the East......There is no reasonable person who would say we are better than UGA, USCe, UK(watch them as a sleeper for the East this year) and Mizzou.....

One quick reminder about Macs first 2 years here and his record....We had assembled an NFL quality defense. Say what you will about Muschamp, we had one of the best defenses in CFB from 2012 to 2016.....Oh, and don't forget Mac had a future Heisman quality QB his first half of 2015....WG=6-0.......Mullen has NONE of these things at his disposal....none....It is very, very likely we will end up 6-6 in all reality. It just is what it is and I mean no disrespect to Mullen(other than he decided to wait until next year to get a great recruiting class....:lmao2:).

Remember Saban only won 6 or 7 games his first year at Bama.....be realistic and patient.

We are flat-out better than UK, USCe, and Mizzou.

Exactly. UF better be:

1. better than Charleston Southern, Idaho and Colorado State. There can be NO slip ups here like there were at Miss State.

2. better than UK, SoCar, Missouri, Vandy, Miss State particularly with a new coach

3. better be better than UTn with a new coach.

4. better be better than LSU coached by Orgeron.

Heck UGa and is UGa still and FSU also has a new coach. If Mullen can not get 10 wins with this schedule, UF hired the wrong guy.

WHich teams are ranked next year...those will be losses. That's the Mullen way. 4-31 vs ranked teams all-time. But but but he's a different coach now.

We will be a more formidable football team than these horsesh@t 6-6 predictions against the weakest schedule I can ever remember. Probably 8-9 wins. 10 would not surprise. These low-ball predictions are a testament to the punch-drunk mindset of our fans over the last 10 years of futility.

You guys forget our record last year? You forget how bad we were in all three phases of the game? That wasn’t ALL coaching. Our roster is mediocre and that’s being generous.
10 wins?
:drunk2:

Let em go. Last year it was 12-15wins and an "offensive explosion" once we got Franks on the field instead if LDR.

The GC groupthink has been amazingly accurate through the years.

And folks say we aren’t a pumper message board. :pumper:

I don't really get you on this. Nobody said that everyone here would be on board with those 10 wins. McElwain won 10 games his first year and he may have lost ground with the fan base. That could happen this year or Mullen could produce a decent offense and bring more fans behind him.

And in fact this group was pretty skeptical of McElwain going into last year.

He's just trying to piss people off at this point. There was zero buzz going into last season because we all had no faith in Mac and knew what was coming.
