You're insane. Meyer controls the offense and Meyer landed the talent. That's how he can make JT Barrett, Tebow, his 3rd string at OSU look good and Mullen can only get 1 good QB in 9 years at MSU the

Partially true. But I think UF's offense took a hit after Mullen left. It didn't look the same when Loeffler (sp?) and Addazio were running it. Wasn't there a strong consensus among UF fans that they wanted Mullen back in 09?

Dak was good. Fitz is good. And the trainwreck they had under center when Mullen arrived was vastly improved immediately by him.
They had the toughest schedule in the nation in 2009 and in 2010 finished 4-4 in the SEC, ranked 15th. Everyone above them in the West was ranked higher than them in the final polls. The West was brutally tough that year.
He did a great job there. He has two things to improve on: eliminate the head-scratcher loss each season and get better at recruiting. Florida is a better place but the competition is going to be absurdly high for top recruits. He can't have a roster full of Daks. He's got to get some Harvins in there as well.

I know you aren't too young to remember the Meyer years. Urban is conservative as frick and needs an OC that will push back on him and be aggressive. That's why his offenses with Mullen and Herman as OC were a hell of a lot more effective than those with the Dazzler or Tim Beck, like night and day different.
Now, has Mullen changed since becoming a head coach? Probably. Almost every brash young OC does (look no further than Kiffin at USC who often crawled into a shell in big games). That doesn't mean he can't bring in the right players and right coaches to make the offense work.
