I never see a different reply from you idiots either. Like I said, keep defending the hunchback y’all are perfect for each other.

With Butters talent, ppl don't realize the damage he did to this team.
BTW, How many leads has ol Kirby held against Bama with his own 5 star talent??

I’m not saying Florida doesn’t have a threatening offense (they do) but this Bama defense doesn’t appear to be as dominant as past iterations. Both intimations can be true
There has been some serious, serious moving of goalposts on this board regarding Mullen the last two years.
Which is it?
Narrative 1: Mullen will never be able to compete vs Alabama and Georgia because he can't recruit and hes overrated as a coach.
Narrative 2: Mullen's teams have given Alabama its toughest games in 2 years, but that was primarily due to Alabama's talent on defense being "not as dominant" despite having the most talent ever overall based on UGA fans most beloved ranking (the 247 Talent Composite).
No one is saying Mullen is the long term answer at UF (I certainly haven't), but the takes are just comical right now.

We led Bama through the 3rd qtr last year with Stetson Bennett at QB

I agree he has done more with less than any other SEC coach, brilliant mind

I legitimately don’t understand why Mullen gets credit for all these moral victories especially when they usually come because his teams start slow. They never even held a lead against Bama in two years and the fan base is like “oh wow we lost by 6 last year and 2 this year! We’re getting better!” I find it fascinating.
There you are again...
Who in this thread is claiming moral victories?
Florida should've won yesterday based on how that game went, and most of us are encouraged by the effort, but pissed that we lost.

Y’all were so stacked last year and Mullen pissed it away w a shoe and players sitting out in a big bowl. I don’t want that as my coach, it would be more frustrating than actually sucking.

Mullen gets the most out of his players. He’s also great at putting together offensive schemes. He can’t win big games unless his team is awarded a Golden Egg at the end. But are those really big games ?!? If Kiffin stays at OM another 2-3 years and has some success I expect Florida to contact his agent when they get ready to fire Dan for turning 2020s Florida into 1990s Georgia.

You must have missed the biggest melt I've ever had on here after that game

I won't say hes a top coach, yet but hes right there in that 2nd tier.
If he wins an SEC title this year, its not a debate anymore its a fact.

I don't get the more with less thing. Isn't Florida in the top ten in the team talent composite? And they finish from 5-15 every year.
He is a good coach, sometimes great (his wheel route gameplan against us as an example), but he is inconsistent as hell

Probably. All were saying is that he’s frustrating and don’t know why you still defend the weirdo. Honestly the day his wife was kissing players I’d be like wtf is going on. If the dude put 100% effort into his job, I’d have no criticism.

If Mullen wants the respect that comes from winning at Florida, I'm not sure why that needs to be qualified?
My best guess, Kirby is not likely to be totally clueless on how to scheme the option, so easier said than done. But that's what he has to do to shut up the critics. NOW, like 2021.

Narrative 1 is an over exaggeration of the reality that Mullen is above average but not elite. His limitations in recruiting relative to his peers and his general demeanor as a coach has resulted in mostly good with an occasional great season. He lacks consistency and has done nothing thus far to suggest he can or will turn a corner toward elite status.
Narrative 2 is you being pissy that I and others won’t give Florida the moral victory credit you think Mullen and Florida earned. Bama won and they looked beatable in doing so. Florida lost in a respectable comeback after being down 18 early and defied the perception that they didn’t belong on the same field as a CFP contender. These concepts aren’t mutually exclusive and I’m sorry you don’t want to hear that.
Side note: I don’t give a shite about composite talent. It’s not an end all, be all metric and is largely influenced by the perception of recruiting sites which are, in turn, prone to offer bias. So, yeah, no shite Bama has the highest ranking.
