Mullen is certainly the better coach and Kirby is the better recruiter.

When Mullen gets slightly better talent (he already is), the Gators will surpass Georgia and never look back.

Kirby can't coach, he's running off players.

Look... Dan Mullen had Florida finish the same ranking as Georgia in one poll and ahead of you guys in the other. I would say that is substantially better coaching given he had less talent to work with.

And they can't say it doesn't matter since they made rings and shirts for beating Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl.

ou guys produced a shitload of draft picks between '14 and '17 29 Draft picks including 6 #1's. 2nd only to Bama. Mullen would KILL to produce NFL talent at that pacs and I HIGHLY doubt that he will I never get the lack of talent narrative that many Gators put out there pre Mullen.

Serious question how many of those draft picks were on offense? What years from 14-16 did we not have a championship caliber defense? I’ll wait because defense was our whole problem right?

I have to ask, how does it feel to lose to Treon Harris and "inferior" talent?


It was pretty dang infuriating.

I’m convinced that’s the main reason why Richt lost his job. He lost to Treon Harris two years in a row.

Thankfully, the last two years have been better for us.

And you Georgia fans feel the tide turning again.

We just upgraded our CB coach and you took our weakest position coach from last year.

Our class is getting stronger and will likely finish top 8 in the country, with top 5 classes right behind it.

Dan Mullen is the better playcaller, period.

We comin'!

When the coach rapes dead animals I can see why a kid projected to play professionally would have hesitation about going to UF.

We'll see whether Mullen can actually recruit, but if you want a serious answer to your question, ask yourself if you were a 5* prospect would you commit to play for Jim McElwain? I wouldn't.

4 pages of replies and not one person has answered your question.

Just a bunch of silly and biased opinions about Mullen being some sort of great coach.

ForeverGator is on an impressive multiple day melt which includes bashing the city of Athens, the airport in Athens, and a coach who had his team in the National Championship in his second season and 5th in the final committee rankings in his third season. Clearly all us UGA fans are the worried ones.

WGAS? This is about talent at each school and how much UGA "talent" UGA was supposedly producing/wasting in those years.UGA produced 13 draft picks to your 28 and two #1's to UF's 6

He went 3-3 in the division with 2 blow outs and he's lucky he didn't go 2-4.

Crazy to think with ZERO 5* we finished tied with UGA in one poll and ahead of UGA in another... Odd huh?


It’s a great example of the flaws of polls, especially in this new era.

That’s probably why we were 3-0 against you from 14-16 thanks for making my point.

How is it a flaw in the polls?

Pollsters voted us ahead of you. If not for them being dumb about LSU, we would be ahead of you in both.

Just go look at some of the individual polls from voters.

Georgia and Florida were the same caliber last season. A rematch at the end of the season would have been interesting.

Obviously I expect Florida to play the game in the upcoming years closer than the last two seasons.

Why would you say he was your weakest position coach last year? He wasn't the best, but I don't think he was bad by any means.

And yet, remind me again of the final poll standings for the season.

AP UF and UG tied at #7
Coaches UF #6 UG #7

Mutts better hope we don't start signing 5* players.
You still have Kirby as a head coach.
