But nothing he has done at State would suggest he’s about to start competing for NCs anytime soon.

I disagree he’s at Florida in the east only competition Georgia to make sec. I think Fla made best hire so far.

So is this why he didnt stick around for "the best team" he was expected to return next year? This was a huge reason why he wasnt going to UT. Fitz gets hurt, so he jets??

Right-he jets while his iron is hot. State exceeded expectations this year and although losing to Bama-stood toe to toe on National TV to the number one team in the land. This was his chance so he left. Life goes on and just a Fitzgerald said when asked about losing his coach.."No one man is bigger than the whole program" We will compete again next year!!

I'm with you all the way on that assessment OG. And I hope Mullen is just as much a failure at Florida as Franchione was at A&M. Bama lost the 2002 Iron Bowl because Franchione was thinking about money just like Mullen was on Thanksgiving night. That loss to Ole Miss didn't bother Mullen one bit just like the AU loss didn't bother Fran one bit. Good luck UF, but if I'm wrong and Mullen tears it up at Florida, I will eat my dung on the SEC Rant.


Make it Gator dung!

Mississippi State will be better than Dan Mullen.

Honestly, I think Florida made a homerun hire. Wish I could say I felt differently, but the truth is I think Florida will be back to being a powerhouse within a couple of years.




I was really into the Frost/Chip options but honestly Mullen was definitely a good way to go. He did a very good job at State and compared to when he was considered back in 2011 (when Muschamp was hired and Mullen only had 2 years of HC on resume) I think more time has helped out big time
