Florida and LSU in an SECCG rematch

Florida finishes 3rd in the East, and everybody finally realizes that Mullen is overrated. Good, yes. But he reached some sort of mythical status getting a State team to #1 (in the middle of the season) that I think wound up losing 3 games that year. And by all means, Mullen was instrumental in his development, but he was working with a guy who is making over 33 million bones in his 4th year as starting QB of the Dallas Cowboys. Let’s not act like Dak was Andrew fricking Hatch.

In 11 full seasons as head coach in the SEC (9 at State, 2 at UF), Mullen is 44-44, having never lost less than 2 conference games, and only losing less than 3 twice. He has never won his division and played in the SECCG, and only finished in the top 25 5 times. In 11 years. With 2 of those being his last 2 at UF with the players he inherited from the shark fricker. I think he’s a really good, smart, offensive coach. But he’s fricking squirrelly, and I don’t think has the personality to recruit consistently at the level he’ll need to to compete consistently with the big boys.
