Dan did an outstanding job at Miss State. Any coach that could actually get the Dawgs ranked #1 in this day and time is a goodun. I expect he will do really well at GatorVille. I will assume he will go with his same MO of big and strong teams with the running (pass well) QB scheme. No doubt he will have a lot more talent available to him in Florida. We'll see.

Buy Florida stock is my recommendation.

Mullen is a good coach, but as the OP's stats show, he is over-rated. UF is grossly overpaying for him. I think he will recruit well enough to start averaging 10 wins a season, but he will have to improve his gameday coaching to do any better than that.

Moorhead hit the nail on the head in his alumni talking points, which he repeated on Finebaum. MSU needs to improve its record in the conference, and that's where Mullen was coming up short. Mullen had one winning season in the SEC. Sherrill had 3 seasons of 5 or more SEC wins in his first 9 seasons.

Mullen gets a gold star for QB development, but what are his other strengths? He had two chances to beat Alabama, but instead of finding a way to win, he played not to lose and lost both games. If he takes that approach at UF, he'll be coaching in the OVC in a few years.
