Mullen was never going back to Gainesville. The Florida fanbase is kind of like Ohio State's fanbase. They want to fire their coach anytime he hits a rough spot. McElwain wins the east twice then loses some games the next year and they run him off before the season is over.

There was a lot of drama there before Urban flamed out, it carried over to Muschamp and McElwain. Who is to say it won't be around for the next coach, whomever it might be.

To be fair, most of the Mullen talk on tRant was driven by delusional Ole Miss posters.

UF has to identify and fix whatever the huge problem is down there. 2 of the last 3 full-time coaches have left because of stressful break-downs. Urban and Mac both basically said "we don't care what y'all believe or how awkward this seems, we just want he f*ck out of Gainesville. This job is too much bs to handle". That has to be a huge red flag for potential candidates, especially with so many jobs coming open in the next few weeks.

I can’t believe I’m defending Ohio State, but their two coaches prior to Meyer were there 12 and 9 years respectively. As far as McElwain goes, any other decent team in the SEC would have been looking to get rid of him too if he was their coach.
