TBH Mullen has done fine at Florida. He's 21-5 which is something we can still only dream of accomplishing. And this is with the players left over from previous regimes. I don't like Mullen at all, and I hate Florida with a passion. But I feel like it's very idiotic to say he's accomplished squat, and to assume he/Florida won't be right there at the top of the SEC for years to come is just silly.

That said, to hell with Mullen and Go Vols!

So my reply was to someone who said Mullen had done squat. Do you agree with him?

I wouldn’t say squat, but wouldn’t go much higher than that. Mullen is doing what he does, consistently win ball games. It’s not to the Dean Smith level of no one doing less with more, but he will have better athletes across the board than most teams he faces. Can he win the games with a comparable or superior talent level?

I'm astounded by what CJP has done with the portal and his recruiting compared with his results. There is no team in the nation that does not now utilize the transfer portal. CJP has utilized it more effectively than most coaches. The portal does not even speak to Smith coming back. I've seen Smith go in the top ten in mock drafts. I've never seen the progression at UT like I'm seeing now since the late 90s. And while most of you don't like it, I'm blunt. CJP should win ten games next year. There is no reason with this stuff he should not.

Putting my orange-colored glasses aside for one second. I think next year is the most interesting year in SEC history. Name me one team you'd bet your mortgage on. Jimbo is entering the third year of a $75 million contract. What if he doesn't win the west next year? Could you imagine if we paid CJP that, and he didn't win the east? Mullen has accomplished squat at Florida. HE's also accomplished squat when we were at our lowest and FSU was at theirs. That's ending. And Kirby. What has Kirby done? He has beat our butts, sure. Not going to talk smack to UGA fans. But he has to play to AL and AU next year.

It's all coming together.
Kirby is owning the East, but I guess I agree

I love the whole “what did he ever do at Miss St?” argument against Mullen. It’s comical to be honest. Starkville is a crap hole and the hardest place to recruit in the entire league, and is in the toughest division in college football, so what he accomplished there is next to a miracle given what he had to work with. The best way to view Mullen is to compare other coaches at the same schools. Mullen did a lot better in Starkville than any other coach in that program’s history. And I bet Meyer and Spurrier didn’t get off to 21-5 starts at Florida either but I will have to look that up to be sure. That dude can coach, whether you hate him and/or the Gators or not

Edit: Spurrier was 19-4 in his first 2 years and Meyer was 22-4 in his first 2 at UF. So basically, Mullen is on pace with the 2 greatest coaches in UF history. Yeah dude, he sucks
Someday Mullen will get his credit due and you can pop out of his butt and celebrate with him.
