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.
Look our o-line talent this year compared to Bama's d-line and it's easy to why people say this.
That game was incredibly close because we dominated them upfront despite a huge talent gap (on paper) on the lines.

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.
Well dude, I'm a Florida football fan, I'm going to root for the program no matter who is coaching or the circumstances.
If you go through life as a football fan, seeing only the negative, and not try to enjoy it for what it is, you're never going to enjoy rooting for your team.
I learned that last year, and it severely impacted my life negatively.
Mullen isn't perfect by any means, but just taking a step back and looking at the overall job hes done, theres a lot more good than not good for UF, and given where UF was just 4 years ago, that is not an easy feat.
Not everyone can be Alabama, you'll just drive yourself insane if you expect that.

You guys fired coaches for less.

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.
I'm not being pissy at all, I'm calling out everyone in this thread who has moved the goalposts wildly on this subject.
Your fanbase, as a whole, LOVES the 247 Talent Composite. Its brought up in nearly thread that trashes Mullen.
And your entire post is invalidated with this:
quote:
He lacks consistency and has done nothing thus far to suggest he can or will turn a corner toward elite status.
Mullen came from a talent "inferior" school at Miss State, and produced 3 straight season that culminated in NY6 Bowl Appearances, which is the most success UF has had since Tebow was at the school.
3 straight top 10 ranked seasons (last year not withstanding after the Bowl Game) is the definition of consistency.
Whether or not he can take the next step, is the question that is TBD, which I've made very clear in this thread.

He lost to LSU’s backups last year. I mean, like 60% of the guys on the field were backups. And at all the key positions.
And it was the worst LSU team in 20 years. A complete dumpster fire of a team.

One coach lied about death threats to the school administration.
One coach had 1 10+ win season in 4 years.
The other coach wasted the 2nd most talented team UF ever had.

He lacks consistency? Really now.

So anyone who plays Bama close does more with less? Gus beat them at least twice. Mullen is probably a top ten coach in the country, but he doesn't do more with less anymore than the others in the top 10
Edit:. Just went and looked - UF has the #7 team talent composite. This thought that he is coaching up a bunch of 3 stars is a fantasy

Why are you a one man army over this? It's mildly amusing that you fight so hard to prove Mullen is terrible, but really it's Florida, and Mullen only exacerbates the issue for you. We all know he is a goof and unconventional at times, but if you look at the last couple of guys we had running the ship, he is miles ahead of them, so we are all right with him for now.
But don't worry, Florida fans are not zealots by any means. If we can turn on Urban, we can turn on anyone.
I hope this helps, but somehow I feel that you will not be happy unless all Florida fans are miserable, for some reason.

What should Florida have fired him on?
Posted on 9/19/21 at 10:15 am to bigDgator
Because I’m not wrong and others see it. Keep defending the hunchback though.

You may be right, I’m just not going to lean one way or the other for now.

And don’t feel special, I argue with everyone. It’s annoying this is your only response. You guys have problems and Mullen hasn’t fixed them. Is your D cord bad? Why hasn’t Mullen fixed it? Y’all sure do bitch, but none of those issues have got better.

I’m not a spokesperson for my fanbase beyond pulling for the same team they do. If they want to erroneously tout a metric used to justify recruiting services and the asinine preseason opinions of the general punditry, that’s on them.

If that’s the bar for consistency you’re wanting to clear then that’s fair, I suppose.
quote:

So, in other words, 2 top 10 ranked seasons in 3 years. Again, if that’s the consistency you’re wanting to see than I’ll stand corrected.

I’ve made the same point, albeit with a more dour outlook. You’re inherently optimistic because he coaches your team, I’m not for obvious reasons. But we both seem to hold the same general opinion

We led Bama through the 3rd qtr last year with Stetson Bennett at QB
Holding a lead means winning, right?
You "held a lead" till the clock ran out.. If the other team comes back, you didn't hold a lead.
Maybe I'm missing something

Yeah we should just call every season a failure since we aren’t Alabama and be miserable football fans for the rest of our lives.
