UF lost another guy off their 2020 class, Johnnie Brown and counting Leonard Manuel/Issiah Walker not making it, basically puts them tied with UT, 265 to 261. UF still has 3 guys not enrolled so wouldn’t be surprised at all if UT enrolls a higher ranked class. Beat them on the trail in 2020 and will beat them on the field in 2020.

Are Florida fans calling for Mullen to be fired?

If they were smart they would pull the plug now. Can he recover?

Will the guy at FSU recover?

Some, yes. They know he doesn’t live for recruiting like Meyer, Pruitt, and Saban do which results in good results, not great ones. 11 years and not even a division title. Yes, I know SECW, but he only was better than 4th in the west one time.

What are you talking about? UF has finished the season ranked in the AP top 10 in both of Mullen’s first 2 years. It is highly likely that Pruitt will never end a season with UT ranked in the top 10 and we aren’t calling for his head.

I was with you until you said that BS about Pruitt not finishing in the top 10.

Way too early to tell that. And right now we are on a 7 game winning streak and have the #2 ranked recruiting class.

It is "highly likely" that Pruitt will never end a season in the top 10? It's way too early in his tenure to be that negative, and at least so far, he is recruiting too well for that anyway. I don't think you will find very many posters on here as negative as you seem to be (and that is assuming that you even are a Tennessee fan, we get a lot of Gator fans here who like to pose.)

They want him to do more with less.

There is an IQ difference between Vol fans and Florida fans.

I need to see 3 things before I’ll believe any UT coach can get us to the top 10.
1) elite QB development
2) upsetting a top 10 team in the road
3) not getting blown out by UF, UGA, & Bama

The winning streak is nice but the vocal leaders from the offense and defense are gone. Those guys will not be easy to replace.
Recruiting rankings don’t really matter this time of year since most teams don’t have a lot of commitments. Our current recruiting score of 259.13 would have put us at 12th in the 2020 class and been 2 points lower than our 2020 ranking.

I can't believe this ****. I was worried in 2018 when Tennessee scored two touchdowns. I gave Mullen a pass with it being year 1 and all. But, in 2019, Tennessee got in the red zone again and almost scored a touchdown last year too.

I told my brother right then and there, Mullen ain't the guy. Dude didn't even win the division at Mississippi State. Mississippi State! I was like how hard can it be. Yeah, beating LSU and Auburn is really easy when you're coach at Starkvegas. Hello, it's Starkvegas. And then, to get manhandled year after year by Nick Saban and Alabama. I mean, who lets that happen? You're Mississippi Freakin State. You beat Alabama 17 percent of the time. You don't think you could go out there and beat Alabama during the best run in that sorry program's history.

This is just further confirmation of the fact that Mullen ain't the guy.

I've seen a few fan posts lately saying Tennessee is being ranked higher as a better tailgating experience, has a better helmet and is competing for virtual national championships while Florida is out there doing.....what, exactly? Social Distancing?

Time to get your head out of your rear, Dan. Tick Tock, Dan. September is coming and JG isn't confused about both helmets having a "T" on them anymore.

I'm so done right now. So done.

You can check my history on this site if you don’t think I’ve been suffering with this team for the past 15 or so years. Every year UT can pencil in 3 losses until Pruitt can show he can beat one of our big 3 rivals b/c Saban, Smart, and Mullen aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. A 3 loss team won’t be in the top 10. Over the past 2 years Pruitt’s teams have been out scored a combined 255-86 against UF, UGA, & Bama. UT offensive productio was so bad last year that if you combined UT’s points from these 3 games it still wouldn’t have been enough to beat any of them alone.

I rarely like anything about a gator.

But your extreme sarcasm tickled me. Well done, reptile, well done.

p.s. Sarcastic humor notwithstanding, he really ain't the guy. I relish you finding out in earnest. ;)

No true fan is this negative about a 2nd year coach on a 6 game winning streak, who is recruiting as well as Pruitt currently is. You are honestly holding the last two years vs Georgia and Alabama against Pruitt, considering what he started with? Look, I understand Battered Vol Syndrome, but your posts are over the top with negativity. They read more like the rants of a rival fan, who is posing.

For sake of argument......

Winning a national title is hard. We've played football for over 110 years now and have 3 of them. So, predicting a guy ain't going to win one isn't really going out on a limb. People forget that because we've had some dynasties recently (Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma) that it just isn't the norm. And so, everyone is waiting for those dynasties to fall and for someone new to become the next dynasty.....and I hate to tell people, but in the SEC, it's not going to happen. The kind of thing that's going to happen (IMO) is the exact kind of thing LSU did this past year. Fielding good teams and everything falls into place for a magical year.

People's perspectives have just become almost comical. Kirby Smart gets mocked and he's easily one of the best college football coaches in America right now. It's not close. But, people talk about him like he's a bum.

Dan Mullen is a really, really good football coach. And whether anyone here wants to admit it or not, people here weren't predicting 10-3 in year one and 11-2 in year two with two NY6 bowl wins. And over half of those wins came with a QB who most here would argue is a worse QB than JG.

@08Vol .... This is what the posts of a Gator fan should look like. You should try it some time. Get Freak to change your moniker to "08Gator". You won the BCS Championship that year, so you should like it.

Nobody likes a poser, dude.

There is no way that @08Vol is a Tennessee fan and there are way too many Gator posers on here. It gets old. Why do they get such a charge out of this? Gatorcountry.com is not a bad forum. You should get a life, and go post there.

So if Fulmer fires Pruitt in 2 years are you going to think of him any differently than Dooley or Butch? I’ve been a fan long enough to know that this University loves to feed us dog food while telling us it’s filet mignon. You can forget how the 2018 season ended and how the 2019 season started but it doesn’t change the facts. My loyalty is to UT, not its coach.
