Alright well I guess we’ll see what he can do” I gotta day that I am proud of the fan base for the backlash because it’s not about “he’s not Gruden!” It’s “he’s a piece of poo poo and enabled the rape of children”, which is cool and good.

Schiano is an rear end in a top hat, but I would say that him being a no-name 20-something position coach at the time he was at Penn State probably merits a bit of consideration, just like how the public has been a bit more forgiving of McQueary (at least it seems that way).

Ehud posted:what's the downside on Mullen? I honestly haven't followed MSU that much Worst I can say is he’s generally a good offensive playcaller, but he gets too cute sometimes and makes some fairly dumb coaching decisions. His system is also really dependent on having a QB who can both run and throw well, but he seems really good at developing those guys, so he should be fine. Biggest issue with that at Florida is if he makes guys look good too early they’ll leave for the draft and he will constantly be grooming a young QB instead of working with an experienced one, which is what he’s had during his best seasons at MSU.

But what I'm saying is where were those posts a week ago or whatever when his name first started really popping up seriously. The PSU stuff is an easy excuse instead of asking to be trusted for your gut feeling that he sucks (either is fine, I'm not judging). If Greg Schiano had Chris Peterson's record the "but he was involved with PSU" stuff would be a very quiet minority. If your fanbase was as serious about this as it seems then why wasn't this done a week ago so your AD could see how insanely unpopular he'd be with the fans and why and maybe not bother interviewing him further or whatever.

It’s probably more because a week or whatever ago nobody thought it was a real thing so it was largely dismissed, if even talked about.

ive watched a decent amount of Mississippi state games the last few years and I think Mullen tends to make some poor in game decisions. I'm skeptical he is good enough to last in a big job. I don't think he is a terrible hire really, maybe I'm wrong, and well he did take Mississippi loving state to #1, but i'd be surprised if he works out long term.

Ehud posted:what's the downside on Mullen? I honestly haven't followed MSU that much Good offensive coach. Looked good because he had Dak Prescott. He also encourages his players to stomp on other players and generally encourages dirty stuff that will usually get overlooked. But he's a players first coach so he'll defend his players to the dickens, and you don't have to worry about him making stuff up to the press about death threats

General Dog posted:What was the response to Mike Riley? It's a totally different thing since he's a consensus all-around good guy, but basically everyone thought it was a bad hire and a downgrade from Pelini on day 1, didn't they? Basically everyone I know IRL was cautiously optimistic, but mostly they were just happy to get rid of Pelini and hire such a swell guy. Everyone on here said it was a surprising and bad hire immediately.

That said I don’t think he is bad coach, and he could be a lot better than any of our coaches since Fulmer. That said the PSU bothers me and might make it impossible for me to continue to be a Tennessee football fan. I almost quit over Jones (betraying your team bullshit), but this might be it for me.

Oh and his wife doesn’t like UF fans I guess. I’m pretty stoked for the Dan Mullen era and having a guy who can develop QBs again.

Mullen will be a great coach to get UF up to some respectable baseline again then in like 4-5 years when he hasn't beaten Smart and UGA for the East you can jettison him and pool a bunch of money and get that super top-flight coach you really want. At worst you could say he doesn't know how to break through the glass ceiling but with an elephant standing on top of that ceiling you maybe can't totally blame him. It's a good hire and the fact he was like your 3rd choice is also fine.

It is hard to compare online reality to actual reality, but if the internet is any indication I would be surprised if they actually go through with the hire. Even the local media has come out against this.

Mullen isn't the sexiest choice, but whiffing on your first two choices and landing on him as a safety coach isn't bad at all. If Florida really did lose Kelly because of a coordinator issue though, they're morons.

The Zook Era was during my years at Florida and he definitely wasn't hated at his hiring by most fans and students I was around. I wasn't on any message boards back then so I can't speak for Internet fans at the time. And good points about Chizik and Mike Riley. Those were bad hires even without the benefit of hindsight.
