When do all of these decommitments become a problem for lateral move?

Sorry you are in your feelz about UF hiring away your best FB coach ever.

Cutting away all the dumbasses stupid enough to commit to the yellow teeth shark fricker.

Why do you care anymore? He’s obviously our problem. You have your new guy and he’s awesome, Mullen will seal his own fate let it go.

It's not uncommon, when there are coaching changes, for there to be a few decommits because of various factors such as lost relationships, change with schemes, changes with promises, changes with philosophies in terms of what kind of a player a staff may be looking for to fit their system, etc.

A lot of times a new staff will simply not contact an exisiting commit in an effort to send a signal to the commit to look elsewhere. Happens all the time.

I'm not even sure, these days, existing commits are always honored like they used to be. It is a bit of a double standard when fans expect a prospect to commit to a school and not a coach but the new staff doesn't always feel that way. It is what it is.

Transitioning to new staffs is always messy these days.

Lateral move is Mullen going from UF OC to Miss State HC.

Miss State is a joke of a program he made a diamond in the rough from. Enjoy going back to 4-8 yearly. Most unappreciative people I've ever seen. Should be bowing to him.

Why would Mullen go to the biggest rival of a coach who owns him?

over More Head? Hell yeah they would.

Incidently, Arkansas has already taken Miss state's #1 CB commit. And now their highest ranked kid out of Alabama is on campus today. So, what is More Head doing about their dissolving class?

Or you could be like Tennessee and flat out tell a kid a week before he is supposed to sign that he is no longer welcome.

Smart was at Bama and Georgia.

Now Mullen is at Florida. Now it's an even playing field.

Mind you Saban gets the credit for owning him at Bama.

Not in my feels, in his best year we got blown out by Ole Miss, Georgia Tech, and IMO Bama. The score didn’t reflect the arse whooping Bama put on us.

Not sure about the whole diamond part, 2-25 against top 25 teams isn’t very diamond like

We didn’t deserve to be number one, we got there from beating teams who have name recognition, at the end of season none of the teams we beat were very good

Oh man where have you been? Your buds are not going to like this. Before Mullen jumped all I heard was how great of a program MSU was because they were #1 for a few weeks that one time.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed The Kang. But he won the West with an 8-5 record
