Did you seriously get that fricking rustled over a nothingburger humorous comment? Wow.

Is that really in question? I assumed that would be something you'd have conceded without question.

Much more debatable would be the 2.5M coaching talent... Clearly he's more of a 2.25M guy...



Whether Mac has an ego isn't really a question... It's whether Mullen's is bigger. Outside of UF fans, are you telling me that you think the majority of college football fans would rate MacElwain as more egotistical than Mullen?

Mullen who claims to have invented the MSU/Ole Miss rivalry? Dan Mullen who has self described himself as arrogant throughout his career? Dan Mullen once quoted "It's not that we're cocky, we're just better than all the other schools..." in reference to Mississippi State...

Sure. He clearly is less arrogant than Jim MacElwain.

Once again, dog fans are idiots. Mac's biggest down fall was exactly that. His ego. Yes. No question yes. It's not even a remote debate for anyone who actually followed both coaches. Mac is insanely egotistical and pissed off everyone because of it. Once again Dawg fans, try doing a little research before trying to debate shite about our program that you have no clue about.

Mac never took blame for a defeat

He always pushed blame on players and other coaches

He claimed he could win with his dog he knows offense so well(yea)

He refused to listen to administration the entire time he was here. He made Grier leave because his ego wouldn't start Grier. He thought he was God's gift as a coach to the QB position...he isn't.

He did not change OC's despite it not working
Did not fire his buddy TE coach despite him being one of the worst coaches we've ever seen here
He did not improve the S&C as recommended by other coaches, athletic department personal, etc.

Mac was fired specifically because of his ego. Mullen has an ego too, but Mullen backs up his claims, and he isn't so egotistical he will not change what he does if it isn't working. Mac did not change what needed changed, did not take advice from anyone, and closed off any help he could get. It's why he got fired mid season in an embarrassing way. The death threats was simply a reason to get rid of him quickly.


Yes. Anyone who followed UF during his time here, is absolutely sure Mac had a larger ego than Mullen. Mullen is egotistical, but not to the point it is damaging the program. Mac's ego cost him his job.
