Mullen was fired after a loss to Missouri that guaranteed the Gators would have their worst SEC record since 1979 and because of a lackadaisical approach to recruiting. I hope he's not a serious candidate for Nebraska.
Dan Mullen
- Thread starter thall_
- Start date
Considering all of Mullen's record is in the SEC and the bulk of it was at SEC doormat Miss St. after Sylvester Croom ran it into the ground, I'm surprised his overall record is that good.
To be fair, Frost never went 1-7 in the Big Ten. 1-8? Sure. But never 1-7. That's a bridge too far.
Because those records, the teams, and the conferences in which those records were made are comparable.
Mullen at Florida 34-15 and 21-14 one losing season (his last)Because those records, the teams, and the conferences in which those records were made are comparable.
Herman at Texas 32-18 and 22-13 no losing seasons
Mullen took over a team that was one year removed from a SEC title game, Herman took over for Charlie Strong and his 3 consecutive 7 loss seasons.
They all suck until one of them can get the job and turn it around in Lincoln. The wait continues..
He has a 62% win pct. Reminds me of BOB or Campbell. His bowl record is 70%.
I think at Nebraska he'd be an 8 and 4 coach. Some years more. I think Nebraska goes to the conference championship game 3 maybe 4 times out of 10. I think he may win it after 20 years.
I could see BOB about the same and I don't see Campbell ever winning the b10

never claimed to always be right, hopefully Nebraska proves me wrong (like you last week, and unlike me last week)
let’s do it straight up for $200 since you’re so confident Nebraska wins
(you won’t cuz you’re a *****)

Is it true that he is not that keen on recruiting? If so, he would be a poor match for the NU job.
pay me my rightful moneyline prize and you're on, *****
imagine being such an absolute joke of a man you even type this pathetic post much less press send?
couldn't ever be me. this guy is the widest gash going
you're predicting a 2+ score ILL win and you're begging for ridiculous terms nobody on earth would agree totoo ***** to go straight up, what a shame
I say I'll take the moneyline, and you're attempting to insult me?
guess a belly full of **** really clouds the mind
pillow soft
I'll happily take the NU moneyline
only a moron would forfeit money rightfully owed them, and only a ***** would beg and plead to forego the price of backing the favorite
Friend of mine is a UF alum. Mullen did not like recruiting. Had some bad recruiting misses his last couple of years. UF had quality depth issues because of this. Also a very quirky personality - kind of an odd duck.
That being said- definitely an offensive guru and good QB coach and mentor. And, as noted above, won at Miss State. Might be ready to jump back in.
The recruiting issue was real though. He didn’t really have a vision for how he wanted recruiting to be structured.
yeah, brainlet take to include his tenure at a historical SEC punching bag.Because those records, the teams, and the conferences in which those records were made are comparable.
Herman has a little bit of Frost in him, where he puts up a good fight against a big dog but rarely comes away with the win. bad record against the most Big 10-esque team in Iowa State & losing to bad Maryland teams 2 years in a row is pretty ugly.
We could do worse than Herman, but we could do a lot better than a Texas castaway.
Meyer HC + Herman OC is the stuff of dreams, though.
Let it go, @thall_ . Idiot like him/her will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!
Mullen is an ideal replacement for Mark Whipple. He needs to rehab his image and we could certainly use his QB expertise.
I could see him taking the OC position at Alabama if O'Brien leaves to take a head coaching job. But it may depend on how well he gets along with Saban.
Mullen coached 9 of those 13 years at Mississippi State and had to rebuild at MSU. Herman coached at one of the two best jobs in the Big XII during his entire time. I'm not even making a case for Mullen for NU but context is necessary.
I also compared Herman’s time at Texas to Mullen’s time at Florida.

plenty of context

I could totally see that - depending on where his head is at. He might not want to deal with recruiting, NIL, etc in the ‘brave new world.
But… he might just have needed a year away. Maybe wants to try a new conference. DEFINITELY needs to have his tires kicked.
Herman was able to get the team to play hard. But he absolutely tanked recruiting- he was not mature and it bled over to recruiting, personal relationships, etc. Had quirks like Mullen did. Definitely has some good qualities and maybe he has grown up a bit.
I personally like both Herman and Mullen; but if interviewed they need to be thoroughly, thoroughly vetted.
Shocked you were able to stop tonguing his butthole long enough to type this
what exactly is my level? Posting correct predictions & accepting bets sent my way?
much better than the cowardly act of popping off about a certain blowout and being too much of a ***** to put your money where your mouth is
@thall_ is a soft, gaping, stinky ****** personified. Too yellow to accept a bet he’s sure will win
This is false. Texas recruiting has been fine and I thought they looked physically more impressive than Alabama when they played them. Most of the studs Texas has now were recruited by Herman. Yeah his personality might rub some the wrong way and the kissing the players thing probably wouldn't go over here well, though I think he would drop that anyway.
