Ever thought of this?

Dan Mullen knew he had a “false gold” team. Meaning going into this year there was going to be a ton of hype and high expectations. He also knew that it was false and that this team would struggle. By doing so, it would seriously render him being considered as a coach for other top jobs. Tennessee and Florida both came calling and he got out. Just a thought I had last night.

That, and he knew his OL recruiting had sucked, especially going into 2020 and beyond.

No.

Fitz and/or Key are perfect QBs to run his offense. If we played Florida again next week Mullen and Moorhead could swap places and Mullen would still win. We would be 5-0 with Mullen at head coach.

OL is bad but I am completely flabbergasted at how pitiful our wide receivers are. There are teams in FCS that have better receivers than us by light years. If we attempt to throw more than 10 passes a game the rest of the season it’s criminal.

No. We would be 5-0 and living up to the preseason hype right now. What I am thinking is how big the dumbass portion of our fanbase is that wanted him gone during the previous nine years.

Yeah he was definitely holding us back. He couldn't dunk**

I believe we’d be 5-0 with any power spread coach in the country. It ought to be a felony what this staff has done with this offense.

Have you ever thought of this....

Dan Mullen will be out of a job in four years because Florida won't be content with his recruiting and underperformance. At that time, he will regret that he left his greatest team ever and pissed away his one legit chance to win a championship because he was impatient.

I hate Dan Mullen more than ever today because his departure started the process that has lead to the destruction of what was a legit chance to compete for a championship.

My thoughts exactly. We’re in the shape we’re in because he thought we weren’t good enough for him. All these years preaching about winning championships he didn’t believe it himself. Florida isn’t his dream job as they kept repeating on the SECN. Florida was the best available with the easiest path. I hope that 17er loses every game and is fired. Reality is if FL gives him 4 years he’ll be firmly entrenched in 2nd in the east behind GA.

No matter who was the coach this year

We were not going to compete for a championship.

This was all hype that a few people in the media started and a lot of our fan base took and ran with.

Remember that our "17 returning starters" were mostly lower rated recruits who a lot of these same fans that ran with the hype, have been pointing to as examples of Mullen's inability to recruit.

The bottom line is that this team has several very good defensive linemen who help camouflage glaring weaknesses in other positions on the defense. Offensively, we have a couple of potentially good players and a lot who would be hard pressed to ever see the field with any other SEC team.

This is all before we even start talking about the bloodbath that is the SEC West. With Mullen or any other coach, we were still looking at an 8-4, 7-5 type season at best.

I'm by no means trying to defend Moorhead's puzzling decisions on offense, but to be calling for his head after 5 games based on our overinflated expectations of this team is ludicrous.

I'd take him and Scott back in a heartbeat. Hate them both, but I'd take them back.

In addition to PTSD, people with battered woman syndrome show symptoms that may be confusing to outsiders.
Those include:

• learned helplessness
• refusing to leave the relationship
• believing that the abuser is powerful or knows everything
• idealizing the abuser following a cycle of abuse
• believing they deserve the abuse
