re: How bad was Dan Mullen at UK yesterday?

I thought that Dan Mullen could reach his full potential at Florida but instead he's just turning Florida into Mississippi State.

The reality of this statement has to absolutely sting the Gators.

Yep. I think I've got to finally admit I was wrong on Mullen. I thought he was a good coach who could turn UF into contender. He did some nice things at State, so making the move to UF with access to better everything should have been a no brainer.

But, he just has some head scratching WTF losses every year. Yesterday, LSU last year, the game where he invited a brawl and did the post game presser as Darth Vader . Just so many undisciplined,uninspired performances. He may just be one of those guys who is great as a coordinator/playcaller but just doesn't have what it takes to be the man at the top in charge of it all. There's nothing wrong with those types and they can stick around and make a great living (see Mike Bobo, Will Muschamp, Gene Chizik, Brent Venables etc). They're just better when they aren't having to run everything.
