Looks like Mullen was choice #8

[dawgstudent]

We know about Kelly and Frost. Bo Bounds said the other day on the radio that Franklin and someone else was asked as well before Mullen. So that seriously puts Mullen at 6th. [tweet]935595822061903872[/tweet]

And this continues the trend of elite coaches just saying "hell no" to the SEC.

How much of that is because of Mullen's reported demands?

don't you do that don't you try to make stricklin less hated ...you have no way to know if they offered it to 2-3 people and took the first one to jump at chance ...might be why mullen only took 6million

Basically, Mullen saved Sticklin's neck. Florida fans were growing restless with the process (they think like Alabama that they are the Meca of college football). Coaches should have been lining up instead of saying no. Next step. find someone to blame.

Beats being choice #17**

Might as well fess up now. I was offered the Florida job Friday morning. Turned them down.

If Mullen doesn’t get to Atlanta in 2019 he will officially be on the hot seat. Meg’s will have to be using Amazon delivery to get everything. I think they forgot just how crazy Fla fans are.

There's no way they did this. And I've seen suggestions that we should do something similar - offer two guys and let the first one to say yes have the job. That's just an incredibly stupid way to run any sort of organization. Stricklin/Foley, et al are a lot of things but none of them are stupid.

It's obvious, at

this point, that Stricklandz and UF completely bungled the hiring process and Merlunz just fell into their laps.

This proves how ****** stricklin is at being an AD

 

[HumpDawgy]

It does sound like Stricklin was at home for Thanksgiving sulking at continuously being rejected and thinking he would have a pink slip waiting for him in Gainesville come Saturday if he didn't have a coach. "Hey Dan, how bout you come down to Madison and have a talk? I'm sure we can beat Tennessee's offer and Tim Tebow wants to say Hi."


Don't know if I'm that far off in my flash back.
