Sad but true. This is why I argue for another year of Sh!tter's Full but only if he fires fat Todd and hands the team over to AR-15. I lived through 80's Gator football. Superstar players (see Emmit Smith) are easier to find than superstar coaches. There ain't one out there right now that can fix what's broke.
This will be the same excuse used next year, and the year after, and the year after that.

Fordham you say?

Pretty sure that's Vince Lombardi 3rd from the left lineman

I knew about Lombardi on that team. Was a little shocked to Jimbo Fisher on the bottom left. Considering what must be his age, it's no wonder Candi went astray with the first young guy that gave her attention. Well, also, technically the second, third, fourth and 6th-9th guys as well.

Pat Dooley was on Finebaum talking about how Charlie Strong and T-Rob wanted to come here last year but grantham said no. Also said mullen is safe since stricklin is in his corner.

I know this has been mentioned before but that just pisses me off Mullen would let him have that kind of control.

Also hope stricklin is fired with this abuse scandal and the new AD hires a new football coach.

Turns out we're only half ass "woke". If we were really committed to it stricklin would be gone. The gatorbait chant is racist but it's ok to abuse women? Hopefully we can promote that former Auburn AD. He had the balls to hire Bruce pearl, maybe he'll have the balls to hire Hugh freeze.

.
Imagine how much better we would be with Strong and T-rob on staff. Plus, we could have shown Fat Todd the door already with Strong as an instant upgrade/replacement. :stress:

@BruceFeldmanCFB: Dan Mullen has an NCAA show cause and is 2-6 in his last eight games vs Power5 opponents, and that includes two losses vs beleaguered LSU teams fielding half a roster as well as a bowl loss to OU by 35 pts. Here's our read on the situation at UF right now: CFB Hot Seats update! Virginia Tech, Miami, Florida and more: Bruce Feldman’s temp checks, from cold to hot
Someone needs to tell him that we're 2-7 vs Power 5 and it will soon be 2-8.... so might want to update his article.

TRob abd Strong would be coming as DC to replace Fat Dwag.

There is no one less out of touch than Dooley. Im not sure if he was ever in touch, maybe in the early 90s at the latest.

Here’s a couple paragraphs from Andy Staples in The Athletic article about Mullen.

Mullen already has lost the bulk of Florida’s fan base. The rank-and-file doesn’t believe he’ll ever be able to win national titles with the Gators, and that group believes the job description requires at least competing for national titles. There was always a lingering mistrust of Mullen’s inability to recruit at the same level as Georgia or Alabama or LSU, but his demonstrated ability to develop players, to build offenses that best fit the skills of the players on the roster and to create excellent game plans kept those doubts at bay. But his hesitance to turn over the offense to Richardson and the continued erosion of the defense under coordinator Todd Grantham have eliminated the benefit of the doubt for Mullen among the faithful. The 2021 QB question has created a revisionist game of “What if?” among Florida fans. If Feleipe Franks hadn’t broken his ankle against Kentucky in 2019, they ask, would Mullen have never even played Trask and just let him transfer?”

2nd part that sticks out:
Mullen has not lost Florida’s administration, though. Athletic director Scott Stricklin worked with Mullen in the same position at Mississippi State, and Stricklin always has taken a more realistic view of the program’s expectations at both of his stops as an AD. Stricklin knows SEC and national titles are obscenely difficult to win, especially with Nick Saban at Alabama. Stricklin can point to a team that has outgained every opponent despite losing three of its seven games. Stricklin has had to deal with fewer issues than he did when Jim McElwain was the coach, and Florida’s power base wants to see how Mullen does when the Gators’ football operations building is finished next year and Mullen is working with most of the same tools his SEC peers enjoy. Despite what the people on those barstools and in those barber chairs want, Mullen is safe barring an unexpected late-season meltdown.

No surprise to anybody that Stricknine is completely satisfied with keeping Gator football expectations on par with Mississippi State.
