LOOOLLLLzzzz at cousin eddie trying to flip justin fields. Serious LOOLLLLZZZZZZ

I suppose you’d feel better if Mullen didn’t make the effort? Mullen is coming, like it or not. If he gets a QB who fits the offense, it’s a big improvement over the alternative.

All I will say on it is I trust the people who have played and know the program much better than all of us.

Well 90% of former Gators who played for Mullen and Sister Hazel love the hire so the rest of us should just STFU!

Can you imaging waking up in Knoxville this morning?

I'm accepting of this hire because I have no choice..... but be thankful we don't have a complete circus like UT has.

Ken and Drew? There are both SOS fans.

I'd rather have my nuts kicked in by a horse than to ever imagine being a Vol.

Sure you do. If you're a season ticket holder, don't renew. If not, don't watch the games. Otherwise, pray that Mullen is successful.

1st game, Stricklin is so sure as to lead our first pre-game cheer; he'll take over as Mr.7-Million Bits.

This is true. His knows what he needs and Corral isnt it.

 

[danicus007]

My bad, I didn't mean to bring Sister Hazel into this mess!

Seriously though I guess it's nice that all these former players seem cool with the hire, but I'm not buying it. Still disappointed in UF and this hire sadly :(

Mostly off the forums due to work. But, one competitor site was easier to check from my phone so I was on it a little bit more than others. For some reason, I only recently realized that this site was available through Tapatalk.

I thought you didnt luv us no more.

As I said in a previous post, Mullen wasn’t my top choice but he’s a good hire. Before I get told to stop pumping sunshine, look at what he’s done. He has 2 first round QBs (Alex Smith and Tim Tebow) drafted, a Heisman winning QB, a finalist (Smith) for the Heisman, NFL Rookie of the year QB (Dak Prescott), and not to mention what he’s done with Fitzgerald (a QB that no Power 5 conference offered). Yes it’s not the homer run hire of Kelly or Frost, but if he can develop Corral and make Trask (Bc Franks is hot Garbage) serviceable for next year, we can have a great team real soon. Let the hate flow through you, but I bleed Orange and Blue and I always will. It’s Great to be a Florida Gator

Where have his championship expectations been the last 9 years?

Yeah, fields will be thrilled about dakking and tebowing his way up the gut 25 times a game. That's what mullen will be asking him to do. You realize that don't you? I'd feel better if we had a good coach who actually ran a good offense. That would be a big improvement over the continuation of crap football and crap offense.

Fields will not be coming here. You can write that down, whether you like it or not.

For those that are adamantly against Mullen being hired ... who should we have went for after being told no by CK and Frost as well as Norvell appears to be unhireable for some reason.

Not that anyone of importance reads this message board, but Really! This is great conversation...We say our new coach can't recruit great players, so we help him out by making comments like this to help scare a committed recruit off...NOT THAT THEY ARE READING...but some recruits may hear about the fan base displeasure . You really know what's broken at Florida, We Are! We are the most obnoxious, egotistical, spoiled brat fans in college sports. Hey I'm pissed too! We were told we're gonna make Football fun again. I just don't see it with this hire. I see boredom. I see mediocrity. I see another coaching search in 4 years, while I see every other program get their guy. If we are all that, why didn't happen for Florida. Don't blame Strickland. Blame US. No one wants OUR job because US. Read this board again. Who would want to step to a podium every week and explain why we only won 21-13 while "Fire ___" message boards get set up on your 1st day. We are a difficult job, because of US

Another blast that the fans are the problem. Can you name one top tier program that has "reasonable fans". Bad hires are bad hires, regardless of the fans. I wish the guy the best but that doesn't mean that Stricklin won't turn our to be "Strychnine" just like Foley is Fooley. Let's hope against hope.

Dak- NFL rookie of the year
Tebow- Heisman winner 1st round pick

Why wouldn't he?
