I think his seat gets hot if UF loses quite a bit and the QB play is not up to par, they do have a pretty favorable schedule (hardest games are BAMA, UGA, @LSU). They do have USF/FAU to at least break in the new QBs, but they have to show strides. I am still not sold on Emory but maybe he can get the job done.
People forget that Emory Jones was a highly rated QB coming out of High School. A LOT of teams wanted him, but he was always thought of as being raw. IF Mullen can work some magic and bring him along Florida could still have a big year.
Alabama, LSU and Georgia will be difficult to beat, but the rest of their schedule looks manageable. I don't think he can afford to pull a game like LSU and lose to the three teams mentioned above plus a game he should win, though.
Getting Arik Gilbert was a coup, and Mullen, for all of his weaknesses as a recruiter...can pull from the portal as well as anybody. This is his 4th year at Florida, so there should be no excuses. he has been there long enough to get his own players there and install his own system.
Can he make the playoffs in the future? yes. Will he? Who knows?

Why are UGA fans so confidant that Newman was any good? Personally I'm not taking Kirbys word for it, he thought Fromm was better than Fields and started Stetson over Daniels. Wake was loaded at wr for Newman and he was average.
Are you really this uninformed?
At the time, Fromm was better. Fromm took us to the Title game the year before and had a much better grasp of the offense than Fields. Kirby chose to play the QB thta was ready at the time in an effort to win then. He chose not to wait an extra year while Fields earned the system and grew into a agood SEC QB. I mean Fromm took us to the title game and Fields took his team to the title game. neither one won the game.
quote:Because Daniels was hurt. But you think we should throw a kid out there with limited mobility because of injury and risk getting him hurt worse.....I am guessing so you can then criticize Kirby for getting a QB hurt? Win/win for you, right?
started Stetson over Daniels.
I have to assume you are only trolling.

No. What a pointless question.
Mullen will never see a playoff as a HC.

You really think Kirby has done a good job handling the QB situation? Plus Kirby said Daniels was cleared by the team dr.s but I guess Kirby knows better than them.

The year you say he fricked up the most was the year that actually involved elite qb play.

Cleared to practice is not cleared to play full speed in the sec.

3 years in it's hard to say
He's taken the offense from 20 ppg to 40 ppg in those 3 years
Added way more talent on D. Young as it is it's still there.
I'm very happy with Mullen so far
I'll be extremely happy when Ant Richardson turn is up. That kid will be a heisman finalist at least jmo
I'm still very happy with Mullen the people who aren't. Should think hard about who to hire if we fire him lol he was 6 pts away from the sec title
We finished 13th instead of top 8 oh my frick what are we gonna do back in the Mcelwain days. No thanks

If the question is "can", then i think the answer is yes. Absolutely.
If the question is "will" or "when will" and it is absolutely hard to say.
The 2019 defensive class will be upperclassmen this season. So the "young" argument is fading starting this year. Is Grantham good for your team is the more relevant question. I dont know your 2021 class, but 2019 and 2020 are elite defensively (much better recruiting than while he was at UGA). Does Grantham know how to be aggressive without selling the farm to do so? Downfield passing games have always been his kryptonite (he usually loses control of the line of scrimmage and the defense sieves against the run and pass).
The simple answer to the OP question is yes.
"Will he" is much tougher.

I don't know. I don't know all of the ins and outs of what has happened. I do know that Daniels was still hobbling when he was cleared. He was cleared to play, but his mobility was not there. The Daniels thing? yes, definitely handled it the right way. We were not going to beat Alabama last season, and if Kirby had played Daniels and he had gotten hurt worse, we would have been done for this season, too.

It was widely reported that he was cleared, but all that means is he is capable of playing. That doesn't mean he has all mobility back. Again, if he had gotten hurt THEN Kirby would have handled it poorly.
Do you honestly believe Georgia would have beaten Alabama last year? Don't be silly about this and die on this hill. Nobody was going to beat Alabama last season just like nobody was going to beat LSU the year before. To argue otherwise is dumb.

While I agree it is still to early with only three years gone by, this coming year will be his 4th. He should have his players in and have his system firmly in place by year 4. This year will be the one that tells us something.
quote:No doubt the offense has taken off. It was great last season. The defense took a huge step back, though, and that is on Grantham, and, ultimately Mullen since he decided to retain Grantham.
He's taken the offense from 20 ppg to 40 ppg in those 3 years
I suspect you will see a better defense this season, though.

Okay. I was answering someone elses question. I could have...SHOULD have given that context, though.
But I still don't remember any other head coach in the country wearing a costume to a post game presser. It just isn't a good look.
Posted on 2/15/21 at 5:52 pm to meansonny
Had 1 down year with covid no spring practice etc
2/3 years defense was actually top 10-15ish in the country
Kinda got caught in shite yr on D when the offense was on fire. Sucks but it happened.Let's see what the new hires offer. If the D is bad again guaranteed Grantham gets axed then hire someone better.
Idk just me but firing Mullen who the frick would wanna come to UF. We would be exactly what they say about us. Spoiled arse fans.
8th 6th 13th
That's where we've finished and 6 pts away from beating the champs lol yea we'd have a line of great coaches just hoping to get that call
The man hasn't even played with a QB he's recruited yet or been able to run the offense he's known for and recruits for
-1 from me too

Gave Alabama the closest game all season and was a fumbled interception away from possibly beating them
Can’t argue with the comment, except that fumble causing hit was a thing of beauty.

there's a Cam Newton style QB who goes to Florida, I really like our chances
Well duh... who was that dude at Miss St.?? Dak something or other??
Mullen is a decent coach... he ain’t no Erb and damn sure ain’t a SOS... Hell, I ain’t sure he is a Galen Hall.

Did Galen hall do that after taking over a 4 win team
That's pretty impressive jmo
Hell idk if Mcelwain ever even reached top 15 finish
I still say it's too early to say what Mullen can do at UF. The ceiling debate after 3 years so funny
Yall woulda laughed your arse off if I said LSU wins a title with shrimp boat

You are correct... that’s why I said Mullenis a decent coach. I could be completely stupid but the thread topic is whether he’ll take F to the playoffs. I just doubt he will. It isn’t all because of his coaching... I don’t believe he recruits well enough and that is an indictment considering the talent rich state and the level of play his two largest in-state competitors are achieving.
quote:

I don’t know what his finishes were, ain’t looked it up and we know he was over his head at F. But didn’t he take y’all to back to back SECCGs?? Got his teeth kicked but.. I guess Dan has one to go. I’m not saying Alabama will be waiting on them but it looks like Georgia has a much better team this season.
EDT: corrected spelling of Coach’s name. I missed autocorrect.

How do you define bad?

I never brought up firing the guy. I said he can get to the playoffs. Why is firing mullen on your brain? You seem nervous about something.

He has 3 years in his system. If he hasnt pulled the trigger to do what he wants to do, then he would be a bad coach. What he is doing is working. I think you exxagerate the situation.

If it's not he gets fired
Yall think he's tied to Grantham
The man had one awful yr in covid he gave em another year. Honestly who cares.
God if he has the D is lit next yr it will be fun to see the reactions
