Mullen’s a Scientologist?

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.


And he got to number 1 by beating three teams who ended the season 8-5 before losing to Bama and then shitting the bed against Ole Miss and Tech.

He’s all smoke and mirrors and a mediocre recruiter to boot

You say that as if that makes him better in game situations and not worse.

The people complaining about Mullens playcalling dont realize that he is calling plays for a high school QB out there. It really limits your options to effectively execute plays against Kirby Smart and Dan Lanning.

You don't think basically having an entire season to start, then entering offseason as the starter, he won't be better next year?

With Tua, Burrow, and Fromm (maybe) leaving, Trask is easily top 2-3 in the conference next year.

You can’t hold that against him since most of those years were at State, where he had them well over their historical success level. However, one thing that would concern me a bit is that his seasons tend to hinge on whether or not he has a super-talented athletic QB playing for him. He won big with Tebow and Prescott. He did not win big when he didn’t have those players. That’s a little concerning. You can’t always count on having players like that, even at Florida. He’s basically the Malzahn of the East.

I get it.

But Franks can get better and has a higher ceiling. Can emory jones get better?

Of course people can get better.
Believe it or not, UGAs defense can get better next season too.
Having a QB who can run mullens full playbook could make the team better in those big games.

The fact that Franks was starting over Trask when Trask was healthy is a big red flag.



He did the same shite at State too. He has “players that he likes” and they play regardless if the guy behind them is better.

Nope. Trask has the mental part that Franks will never have.

Trask is 1000x better under pressure than Franks ever was.

And 2/3 is best case scenario, so the Mizzou and Aggie games are going to be interesting bc those are both toss ups at this point

So Florida, who sits in the middle of the best recruiting area in the country has never been great at recruiting other than when Charley Pell or Urban Meyer was at the helm. What does that tell you?

Seriously some of you idiots crack me up. Peddle that shite somewhere else.

He is not on the hot seat yet but if Trask is the start next year , he will be by the end of the year. He is playing a pro style QB he inherited that couldn’t start in high school over a dual threat 4 star QB he recruited. He worse then Kirby. Atleast Kirby was starting the guy who fit his offense.

You play the best QB on the team, and right now Trask is better than Emory.

Some of you idiots don't know shite about football.

UF under Spurrier wasn't elite in recruiting either.

Although, I will say if Kirby continues to recruit at a top 2-3 pace, and Mullen doesn't get better, UF will have trouble moving forward.

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.



This is a really bad take. Despite a couple of bad plays on Trask end he is the last issue for Florida right now. He is actually very good. and is extremely efficient throwing the ball. Trask has a bunch of bums blocking for him with zero run game. His own coach sucks the momentum out of his offense with awful play calling and player rotations. Meanwhile, Grantham can't get off the field.

Boggles my mind that some Florida fans are blaming Trask, he is not the problem.

Having a shite O line that can't produce a run game and a very soft defense led Grantham are the main culprits. Fire Grantham and recruit better on the lines need to be the number one goals for Florida.

The recruiting narrative is true. But Mullen doesn't really control that totally.


Georgia, Bama and Clemson among others, Their scholarships are worth a little more $. And if you don't believe that you're living in fantasy land.

If Florida wants to compete with the Bama, Clemson, and UGA's of the world. The big $ boosters need to step up. We need facilities upgraded. As well as a few bagmen. Until this happens we're a 10-3 type team.

Save all your righteousness bullshite. I'm not bad mouthing these elite programs. I'm sure Florida has broken NCAA rules as well. But, that is what it takes to succeed in big time college football today.

I'm not sure what they have along the DLine as fra as replacements....a Gator fan would have to educate us on that. They are loaded and will stay loaded in the secondary, though. They have several really good, young DB's. Again...not sure of the depth back there. They always have great WRs, and their OLine is very young. I don't think they are going away any time soon.

In fairness....I think their entire Oline is made up of freshmen and sophomores. Not sure.

Since the powers that be ordained that LSU plays the Gaytors every year, I hope they go into a Tennessee type swoon.

I’m ecstatic that Georgia put the hammer down on them. And I want them to loose more. Unfortunately I don’t see Vandy, Mizzou, or Jimbo’s ex-dumpster fire doing it.

But I don’t like Mullen at Florida because of his potential. However, his blaming everyone but himself could have the seeds of his undoing.

Are you kidding me? He is likely the 3rd most respected coach in the league. Behind only an older Saban and maybe Jimbo. He has worked wonders with a talent depleted UF and one in turmoil from all the past risky kids brought in. Give him the same 4 years as Kirby. He's a better between the lines coach than Smart. Recruiter? No. But Kirby has the biggest by far budget and the best by far recruiting territory with no instate competition. The Gators were 44-31 overall the past helf dozen years before he got there and finished in the top 25 3 times in the 7 years before he arrived. Once finishing 25th, once 17th and once 10th. Middle of the SEC stuff.
