Mullen fired at Florida

[lukeneyland]

Let’s see if we can’t poach some of their recruits

 

[agent|orange]

I think they made a mistake. It was one bad year. We now have the undisputed best QB developer in the East

Honestly it's insane. Seriously.

Florida and Texas are boat-racing each other to see who has the most delusional has-been and impatient fit-throwing fanbase.

Let’s see if we can’t poach some of their recruits

This is all we need to be concerned with right now.

When are fans like you going to learn. It doesn’t matter what coach we have or what coach UF has. They own us completely when it comes to football. Next year will be no different. There will be some fans that say oh UF has a new coach with a new system. We have Heupel and our offense is clicking, UF is down and we can get them. Then when we play they will beat us by 21+.

Honestly, I can’t argue this.
GBO!!

They don't have any

 

[stillavol]

No, but really... imagine going 29-9 in 3 years while going 2-1 in bowls and finishing in the Top 15 all 3 years at a school and turning in a 5-6 season and being fired.

Finishing in the Top 15 your first 3 yrs would have gotten a 10 year extension at UT.

 

[Vol Main]

Mullen goes 34-15 and is fired. He would have gotten a 5 yr extension here. I'm remembering when Jones got an extension and a raise for going 6-6. High expections keeps a coach's seat warm.

Mullen already got an extension, this year! Now Florida is out 12,000,000 bucks.

 

[bpalmer28]

Lane Kiffin will be their hire.

Leach is about to embarrass him. Might scare UF away. I’m predicting Napier

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Stephens needed the “game of his life” for the Vols to “win a squeaker”? That’s quite a spin.

Gator QB Grossman had the game of HIS life, Witten had his worst game at UT, and refs made multiple bad possession calls against UT (that would have been overturned if video replay was used in 2001). The above was needed to keep UF in that game as Vols OL and DLs/LBs owned the Gators throughout game.

And Stephens was runner up for Doak Walker Award in 2001, actually deserved to win it over the RB from BYU. Some Doak Walker votes were cast before Vol-UF game. UF was one of several great games for Stephens in 2001.

UF was fortunate the 2001 game was even close on the scoreboard, and it didn’t take an out of his mind game by Stephens for the Vol win.

Ok take away Stephens performance. Do we win?

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Kiffin is packing his bags now. For some reason I see James Franklin going to LSU.

Regardless of where, I get the feeling Kiffy is changing addresses again.
GBO!!

Dave Aranda

Lane Kiffin will be their hire.

Im thinking he goes to Miami. ACC is easier way to CFP.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

We were unbeaten, ranked and leading a really good Georgia team 21-17 at the half last year with people thinking we were truly back. Then the season got sucked into a black vortex where we got outscored 119-24 over the next 10 quarters and the season went to hell. So we've seen it happen.

I do wonder if Florida is going to be raked over the coals for firing coaches so quickly like we were. Mullen had them in the SECCG last year. We get called unreasonable for firing guys who weren't doing nearly as well as Mullen in this 4 year stretch.

No. The national media will have a totally different outlook with Florida. They will be praised for not settling for mediocrity.
GBO!!

 

[kell7517]

Yeah UF is gonna hire a coach the coach they just fired destroyed by 4 TDs

Didn’t we hire Butch right after Dooley destroyed him.

 

[Falcons02]

if he wants to keep coaching, he will get one of the open jobs. He might be happy with the 12 million buyout

Dan Mullen to Va Tech?

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Possibly going to be Cincy coach Luke Finkell.

The “laces out” guy?

GBO!!

 

[Matt2496]

I think Dan Mullen would be a better fit for the NFL

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Didn’t we hire Butch right after Dooley destroyed him.

Huge differences between the sitiations

 

[stillavol]

Mullen already got a five year extension, this year! Now Florida is out 12,000,000 bucks.

That's false! Mullen got a 3 yr extension this year. I stand by my statement that he would have gotten a 5 yr extension for being in the top 15 his first 3 years at UT. I'm glad he's gone as he was 5-0 against us. Maybe they will hire Dooley, Jones. or Pruitt?

Yeah, Jones didn't have that magical season he was looking for...

Yes if he took our shat program to top 15 he would have deserved it here. Florida was in far better shape when he took over then we were at the same time

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Why is that a sad fact?

Hmmm….Maybe because we are Volunteer fans.

They didn’t have much this year to poach from what I hear.

 

[VolMarine1371]

Just announced they are parting ways

Wow. We almost ended up with Mullen too. Let’s hope they don’t get a home run hire

Good, couldn’t have happened to a better person.

 

[House of Neyland]

Yeah it kind of is. Even at our strongest, we could barely beat UF. Butch should have had a 3-4 year winning streak against them. We were the better team thise years. But we imploded. South Carolina and UK have beaten UF more times than we have in the past 10 years.

Should’ve beat them in 2014 and 2015 for sure and 2017
