Looks like Mullen to UF

Nah

Mullen is awful

He's what? 2-34 or something against ranked teams at Miss State.

If it wasnt for their easy OOC schedule every year, and having Kentucky as a permanent rival, he wouldnt even be considered for a position at ITT Tech.

Mllen is top 3 o 4 coach in the sec.

Solid hire. Not scary, but he’s a good football coach

Mullen is a great coach. Gets minimal talent at MSU and still puts great teams on the field.

Flase. Mullen routinely got top 25 classes in Starkville, and had a couple of top 20 classes.

The only teams that have to worry about Mullen at Florida are South Carolina, Kentucky, and maybe Tennessee. Florida will be challenging them for Outback, Music City, and Belk Bowl births in the future.

Florida has already lost their top 2019 commitment. Corral will be gone soon. There is going to be a max exodus of commits out of Gainesville soon.

Maybe I'm wrong but mullen has just never scared me. Kelly or frost at UF woudl have been worrisome but mullen just seems kinda meh. Yes he will surely recruit better there than he has at MSU, and yes they will almost surely get competent QB play which UF hasn't in years. But I mean what's scary about the guy? He was awesome at UF when meyer (one of the top 2 or 3 coaches of the last 15 years in CFB) was HC adn tebow was qb. At MSU he's been good compared to their historical standards but over 9 years he never finished with less than 3 losses. We've never had much trouble with him even in some of our leaner years.

Sure they could've done a lot worse but I dont' really see this as anything to be worried about.

Exactly. We'll be in Atlanta for the next decade. East is garbage

If he hires the right DC, they will undoubtly be a great team

I just don't know if I'd say "great" based on what we know about him. Improved over the dumpster UF is now, sure. But great? Idk.

I think it is a good hire.

I agree..it is a "good" hire. But Florida shouldn't be settling for "good". Their top tier, #1, primary target spurned them for a team that isn't even the best football program in its own city. UF really needed to make a home run hire here and I wouldn't say they did that. This feels more like a ground rule double for them. They got the safe guy that used to be a coordinator there that they're familiar with that won't absolutely suck balls but likely isn't going to be anything great either.

I love it, this UF program isn't even close to the spurrier/meyer era UF that struck fear into opponents. After muschamp and mcelwain they needed a splash and they didnt' get it. Who knows how much this will set them back.
