Mullen on the hot seat?

Over ten years as a head coach and never even won a share of his division. He’s a lazy recruiter. His best season of all time as a head coach is 10-3. He has never beaten Kirby. And finally, he’s a Scientologist. If the gators keep him, they are just accepting mediocrity.

We still have to win 2/3 remaining SEC games to lock up the division.
But I don’t see how things get any better next year with what they’re about to lose defensively and the relative failure to recruit adequate replacements

I've heard that rumor but never seen it substantiated.
I don't think Merlin is anywhere near the hot seat right now, but I think the first season he fails to hit 10 wins (including bowl) the talks will start.

Its really the OL, DL, and Safety.
UGA basically exploited UF's 3 biggest weaknesses yesterday and hit them repeatedly.
If UF doesn't recruit better in the trenches, and get a MUCH better coach/recruiter than Ron English at safety, it won't change.

Mullen is a very good coach.
However, and I never really saw him this way until last night, he lacks the mentality of the elite winners right now.
That time killing drive was good for making the score respectable, but shite for winning the game. In my view, that is a Miss State perspective, not an attitude for Florida.
Take the shots, even if the final score looks worse, better to go for the W than the respectable L.
Now maybe that is because he knows he is out-talented by GA right now and that will change. But as of today, I think he shrank on the big stage.
Still there is no way he should be on the hot seat.

Self accountability and maturity?

I agree. However, you could argue the East is pretty bad this year. Did not expect Georgia to be meh.

This nails it. He is not ready to take equal responsibility to be the guy either way. The guy who wins it all or loses it all.

It will be the worst UGA team for the next 2-3 years, unless Fromm leaves next year, which I think he wont.
Mullen had a golden opportunity and he shat the bed.
The recruiting in the trenches will show up even MORE next year.
I don't see UF winning the East in the next 2-3 years unless recruiting changes drastically.

Yeah, I don’t see him closing the talent gap anytime soon. Not in any significant capacity

If Fromm returns, we will have a really good team and an elite defense. If he leaves, our season hinges on a grad transfer QB

It's still very mindboggling that he would've kept Frank's if not for his injury.

With Franks playing yesterday, UGA wins by 30+.
The fact that Franks was starting over Trask when Trask was healthy is a big red flag.
That and the lack of recruiting. If he doesn't recruit better, hes out at UF within 3-4 years.

I agree with you.
I just think Mullen probably believes he can recruit equal talent that was just not evaluated as well.

Not a gator fan but Mullen proved his worthiness at Cowbell State, where they were nu 1 for several weeks. Your post makes absolutely no sense. And I will promise u the gators will win the sec east within 3 yrs. Great athletes make great coaches. See Bama, LSU.

A big issue last night is the horrible play calling. Even the final drive that scored a TD, there were some terrible play calls; like Trask doing a QB run up the middle when time is incredibly important. Mullen did a terrible job of putting his players in a position to win.
With LSU actually having a modern era offense, things will be even harder on Florida with regards to winning the East.

No but he has to make changes.
Both coaches losing this game had to mean staff changes.
We lost. Hopefully Mullen realizes why. English and Knox being fired and hired by recruiters would be a great start.

I thought that until yesterday.
Trask doesn't read defenses. Trask doesn't understand game situations.
People claiming that he does a good job reading defenses dont understand that executing an RPO is not the same as understanding defenses and doing progressions.
Trask handcuffs Mullen. And a better defense is going to exploit that every time.

What?
Trask had the ball out to the right spot every time yesterday. His worst play was the 19 yard sack, but I don't think he played bad at all.
He hadn't started since high school prior to this season
Hes easily the best QB in the East if Fromm leaves next year.
