Mullen’s First Statement

[CGold4]

“Megan and I are very excited to get back to Gainesville and the University of Florida," Mullen said. "I have such great memories of the championships we won during our time here and have a love for Florida. We are happy to be coming back to such a supportive administration, staff, student body and fan base, which is the premier football program in the country. We will give relentless effort in everything that we do on and off the field. Our commitment will match the passion that the Gator Nation has for this program."

Failed to mention even one thing about MSU in his first statement since the move. “Family,” huh?

I would like to take the high road and be happy for him but at this point 17’em

Commitment was without these **

He’s a no neck having *****.

Haha wondered how long it would take to drop the R bomb on them. My Saturdays just got 50% more entertaining.

He knows what he has done. He is gone now. It’s over.

No coach we have will love MSU the way we do. No matter what they say...

Not until we get one of our own, if any of them can succeed to that level.

The gator chomp when he got off the jet was enough for me. He hadn’t shown that much energy since 14.

Yeah I wonder how many times he's practiced that move in the mirror over the last three years.

On the same lines of practicing a designed QB draw on 3rd and 12 from his own 35.

Dan Mullen, you are welcome for us giving you an SEC job as your first head coaching job and paying you WAY higher than you deserved per your results. Your are welcome for us keeping you as our head coach for 9 seasons after you shat the bed multiple times and continued to fish for other jobs. You are welcome for all the money we spent improving the facilities especially regarding football. You are welcome for us treating your family as our own for all those years regardless of how many games you won. Thank yous are not necessary (would have been nice though).

Well said. At the end of the day, coaching is no different than any other job - no matter how much we want to believe it is.

I haven't noticed before, but Mullen kinda looks like Cousin Eddie.

/amirite?

 

[DocHolliday.sixpack]

Stricklin was one of our own.

Not until we get one of our own, if any of them can succeed to that level.

At the end of the day it's about the money and prestige for these guys.

Fixed it for Mullen given his sentiments on the Collins move.

 

[CGold4]

Jalon Jones opened his recruitment back up specifically because of Mullen’s departure.

So it begins.

 

[Junction John]

Bravo. I wish I could mass tweet this to all the morons humping his leg on the

way out the door. He chose to end the relationship. Get the 17 out of the way. Don't look for me to pat you on the back on the way out.

NEXT.

 

[ckDOG]

True, but a little graciousness would be appreciated.

The professional and decent thing to do is publicly acknowledge the near decade of mutual investment in each other. Say thanks for the support, enjoyed it, but time to pursue other things. Has he done any of that? I dunno. If he doesn’t then 17 that self centered POS.
