I knew Mullen was overrated when he force fed Holloway

Mullen was getting booed on the reg for that horseshite, but kept doing it anyway.

Or maybe he knew the passing game wouldn't have worked or resulted in interceptions and that was his best running back. Mullen is not a dumbass. I don't think any of us really know how good he is but we are about to find out. I know he is accustomed to playing in the SEC and in the west no less but Florida is still a much different beast. 8-4 seasons and mediocre bowls for four straight years will get you fired. He took the job so he obviously thinks he can and will do it. Maybe he really is this masterminded, football savant that will win championships with a team full of 3 stars. He may like handicapping himself for the challenge so he doesn't recruit as many 5 star guys. About to find out.

Holloway up the middle and him playing seniors instead of the best players were two of his big weaknesses

He had a more than capable running back in Aeris Williams that was sitting on the bench watching Holloway get murdered. We’re not talking sweeps to the outside, we’re talking Holloway straight up the center’s arse.

He was just as stubborn with Dak in his senior year, 3rd and long-Qb draw. I remember a shite ton of boo birds in the Bama game that year because of that.

First reaction was Mullen force feeding the recruiting coordinator at Moo St. Forgot her name.

Mullen developed a program into legitimacy in the middle of nowhere Mississippi. I believe the program will suffer again in his absence after this upcoming year.

He will do fine in Gainesville. Pretty sure he knows what he’s doing.

Only the because of Croom. Let it be known that Mullen couldn’t take us where two other Miss State coaches did. Sherrill to winning the SEC West and allyn McKeen winning the entire SEC. Dan built what we are today, no doubt. But the blueprint for doing so is not as hard as it seemed. His biggest win in 9 years, was beating an 8-4 Auburn team in 2014. It always amazes me how people think Dan Mullen was the only person in the history of humanity who could turn us around and then in turn keep our success. I can’t count how many times dumbasses praise this man like some demi god and then in the same sentence tell you how shitty of a recruiter and relationship builder that he really is.

How does a player that small end up on an SEC team to begin with? Kid was literally 5-7 165.

Used properly Holloway would have been very valuable, he was fast, sub 4.4. He should have been used on the perimeter like at slot and in motion. He was fast enough to out run DL and LB's on the periphery which he proved multiple times.
Running the dive or straight up the middle negated his speed advantage.
