Are you talking about Mullen? Seems like he made a very nice choice by leaving if he can beat our loaded team with the worst Florida team in a decade.

This was the most emotional I've seen him in a decade. I think he knows his tenure as HC at UF is short-lived, he barely beat po' ol' Missippi State. Hell, if he'd stayed at State for another five years he'd have had a statue. Too bad our lack of a Target prevented that.***

Exactly. Just imagine what Dan will do when he gets the Florida roster the way he wants it.
I believe he really wanted to be gone after the 2014 season. Starkville just was not a destination job for him.

I imagine it would be like this. You’ve dated this girl for a long time. She’s a hard 7, soft 8 in the looks department. But she’s got a great personality. You’re comfortable together. She even accepts your flaws. A few years into the relationship, you get bored. This new chick, a hard 9, gives you the “go ahead” signal, and you jump ship. A few months later you see the ex, and she’s with a guy who’s not even as good as you, and he’s not treating her right. The hard 9 that you’re with was fun at first, but she constantly reminds you that she’s better than you, she’s needy, and you know it’s just a matter of time before she dumps you. The sad part is, Girl #1 will never take you back.

I watched it. About 12ish minutes in is worth a listen. Maybe pull the hater shades off for a second and listen. The game is over and the Gators won.. it'll be okay.

Mullen should be happy and relieved. He's under a lot of pressure in gatorville and just got a signature win for his career. It likely gets Florida a successful season and gives him a mulligan for the Kentucky loss. He doesn't have to leave Starkville with egg on his face, and he has closure.

You guys were right. The guy can really coach when the reward for him is big enough to command his focus.

Signature win?

To be honest, we had no business being ranked in the first place, or favored.

Florida will probably jump back into the top 25 for the week, and Kentucky is firmly there. #18 Texas only beat Kansas State 19-14 today, while the Bulldogs had a sound win there.

It's a disheartening seven-point loss, but State is still better than a lot of teams out there. Unfortunately, we don't have many of them on our schedule from here out.

It might be at this moment but when we finish 5-7 or 6-6 this won’t be looked at as anything special.

Agreed, but it will still go down in the record books as a road win over a ranked and favored SEC West team.

I do think that the win means a lot to Coach Mullen and that it helped solidify his standing with the gator backers. I'm glad the game is past us and we can put him and Stricklin in the rear-view mirror.

People can tell all they want about how Mullen will fail at FL, but the truth is that he is right where he wants to be. And he'll do great things. He did so much more with less talent. He made Fitz look great last year.

True. This team got a lot of preseason press, but very much undeserved. Some of it is poor coaching, but a lot of lack of talent on offense.

We are weak at wide receiver and have a runnfirst qb. We still dominated last year against any team without an elite defense. It's not lack of talent that's hurting, it's using our run first qb as a pass first qb, which has simultaneously made him a liability while allowing people to stack the box against out run game. So almost all of it is coaching, and some of it is talent. If we had solid wide receivers, we still win last night and the U.K. Game would have been in play, so that's the talent part.
