Spurrier puts Dan on notice.

[AlSwearengen]

Well, sorta. Did anyone hear him talk about recruiting during their interview with him during the game? He talked about their goal was to win national championships and to do that the coaching staff would have to consistently bring in top five recruiting classes. He put emphasis on it.

I think Mullen and company’s reputation is in the back of Spurrier and company’s minds.

I heard it too.

But honestly, it's not 100% Don't fault. That UF team is not very good and they don't play hard which is what he preaches. Franks isn't mentally tough and he's visibly frustrated. The team was lost a couple years ago.

 

[Clarence Boddicker]

I heard it too. And it's not going to happen under Mullen, unless he first wins a couple of national championships with top 15 talent, then they might come simply from the success.

 

[TheStateUofMS]

He hates recruiting and the core of his staff are weak recruiters as well.

 

[Hugh's Burner Phone]

Hev just said he don't need no top five class.

 

[Sutterkane]

Croom was an awful overall coach but he left a group of guys who were hungry and played together even if lacking talent in areas. I don’t know if Dan can win with the guys he has. He’s inherited a very bad situation.

Florida has had a culture problem for a decade now. Tebow covered a lot of it up but even when Meyer was winning there he had Aaron Hernandez and the Pounceys. Will Muschamp is not a bad coach. Dan Mullen is not a bad coach. There is some kind of work ethic or entitlement problem that has permeated that program.

I heard him too and agree with you. Lots of their fans have been unhappy with who he's recruiting thus far, and I'm sure Spurrier has a take on it too. It's nowhere near top 5 potential yet, so he may very well have been sending a message. On top of that they went on to lose that game. I'm sure Spurrier's Monday meeting in Dans office this week won't be all receiver routes again...

Dan will make 18 million the next three years.... Stricklin is the one on the hot seat.

 

[Les59]

I thought Florida recruited itself.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

I knew Dan would have some problems with the offensive players they had but I never thought their defense would give up that many points to Kentucky at home. Kentucky is the team that struggled with Central Michigan who lost to KANSAS last night.

With their schedule, they better get something going or else it going to be a nightmare season.

 

[Clarence Boddicker]

Yeah, people that say that forget that there is a sliding scale.

 

[Clarence Boddicker]

Will Muschamp is not a bad coach.

Yes he is. He peaked as a DC. This doesn't take away from your point, but I still wanted to point it out.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Dan vets the heck out of recruits

if he can't coach them, they won't be signed. They (fans) will not like his methods. He did not exactly leave our cubbards bare.

You waited nearly six years for this, just wanted to recognize your restraint!

^^^^^^^ this

Mullen does have the right idea about recruiting. It just doesn’t result in great rankings, but it does prioritize by coachability.

Chemistry between player and coach is very important. Can’t have NO talent.

Make no mistake, he’s a micromanager and an ***. But he can get the gators back on track. They will not give him enough time.

if he can't coach them, they won't be signed. They (fans) will not like his methods. He did not exactly leave our cubbards bare.

Agreed, see Texas!

 

[WilCoDawg]

Hev’s got this. Worry not your little heart.

Spurrier knows that Kirby is recruiting Top 5 talent over in Athens. That’s where the comments about Top 5 recruiting are coming from. Dan’s success or failure at Florida will be determined by how often he beats Georgia. The same way all Florida’s coaches are judged. Dan has to beat Georgia to win the SEC East so he can get a shot at beating Alabama for the SEC Championship. Oh. Wait. Never mind......
