I was a huge Dan Mullen fan when he was hired at Florida. Offensive genius. Over time it became clear that he wasn’t the total package that you need for an elite program. He isn’t a top level CEO, recruiter or motivator. Way too much loyalty to underperforming assistants. Florida is the hardest job in CFB right now. However, if I am Dan Mullen I’d wait until NIL and the portal are settled before I jumped back into CFB.
@Charles - I concur with you. I also liked his comments much like Steve Spurrier. CFB is so much fun for everybody.
My friends are VT fans and they want him. As a gator fan I told them he’d be perfect for them because the Florida expectations are just insane and he could go 8-4 and be praised. VT fans just want to be relevant again and ranked consistently. State of Virginia has plenty of talent and Mullen’s resume as a developer is insane.
Does he want to recruit tho? That seemed to be the problem at Florida.
I don't know I think the guy Virginia tech has now is starting to build them...... Or at least has them going in the right direction.
@@Lachronix at Florida he didn’t recruit well but was still landing top 15 and top 10 classes. At VT they pray for that. Plus he’s known for only developing QBs but defenses all throughout the NFL have great defensive players he helped develop. Montez Sweat, Chris Jones, Fletcher Cox, Jeffrey Simmons, Darius Slay, and etc.
@@timebomb42 I mean he’s 10-14 and really isn’t recruiting impressively even with NIL. That loss he had to Ole Dominion really ticked my friends and I’m sure a lot of fans.
@@muddywaters2818 eeehhh, can't argue with you there. Still though if you want to actually build yourself into something you can't just keep firing coaches every two to three years.
The fact that he got fired with a 34-15 record 4 seasons in (one of them being covid) is absolutely asinine
That UF football
He was 6-8 against ranked teams and needed UGA to suffer about 20 injuries to beat them. Go compare that to Spurrier, Meyer, Kirby, and others. He literally imploded the last 1.5 seasons and stopped trying after his first year. Did everything he could to keep the best QB off the field, which is what he did at Moo St as well. In his entire career as a HC, when he faced a ranked team, and his team was ranked higher, he lost every single one of those games in regular season matchups. He is the definition of under achieving. He also got UF on probation and got a show cause order from the NCAA. And, he embarrassed UF during every week of the 2020 season. When he got beat by Kentucky he was all smiles.
He is the most overrated coach of this century. Rode Meyer's coattails to get the Moo St job and got lucky when his starter got injured and he had to play Dak. Otherwise he would have kept Dak on the bench. By the way, UF fans were not sad to see him go in 2008. He was considered THE reason Tebow's draft stock wasn't sky high after that year as a junior. Also, his personality sucks so bad, that even though Tebow comes from a Gator family, he was set to go to Bama, because of Mullen. It was Meyer that had to overcome that and insure Tim went to UF. No Tebow, no natties. Not only that, Mullen is so stupid he was going to keep Tebow and Percy Harvin on the bench for the entirety of the 2006 season. He had no intention of playing them and Meyer stepped in and said, "Are you dumb? Of course you're going to put both of them on the field". UF doesn't win anything in 2006 without both of those guys on the field as freshmen.
It's amazing to me that people can't see the fraud that he is. He's good at calling plays if you give him a bunch of talent. Otherwise, he's not just useless to a program, he's a detriment. He's a real life village idiot.
I wish him the best wherever he go and coach
I loved coach Dan Mullen. Huge Gator fan, huge Mullen fan, wish him the best wherever he goes. If I were AD… I would have kept Mullen at UF…
Go gators! Worse thing we did this decade was let him go. He was a damn winner, and he would’ve gotten us a title before 2030.
Mullen has been helped by the fact his successor has not succeeded.
But somehow blamed for it all by gator fans...napier is 2+ in and doing awful.
@@Jhuntermorgan1516Not all of us are that delusional. Napier will be fired next season and then he will end up getting the Mullen treatment when the next hire doesn’t work out.
Coach Mullen was building a legacy at Mississippi State. He threw it all away the moment he went to UF.
I actually think hell end up back at Miss St one day as he only needs like 2 seasons to be their all time winning HC. Right now he's getting paid by Fla to chill out and talk football and is just passing the time. Maybe Jeff Lebby pans out, but if not and Mullen is still at ESPN, i could see him back in Starkeville.
Legacies are not built on 7 and 5 seasons … that is what Mullen averaged as miss at
@@bryanfletcher6388 This is Miss St you are talking about not Florida or one of the blue bloods of CFB they were in poverty before him and he took them to their first NY6 bowl in years, and some of that 7-5 is due to the fact that he had 2 losing seasons, including his first season but he took them to a number of bowl games which in all honesty is what Miss St plays for
@@adityag485 legacies are built on winning conference and national titles .. not going 7 and 5
@@bryanfletcher6388 then you clearly haven’t seen what’s been going on at Miss St and he literally had them ranked #1 at one point in 2014
Still can’t believe Florida fired Mullen after one down year only to hire SunBelt Billy…
he was never going to do any better his recruiting wouldnt cut it in the sec
@@EffectR6 and yet Billy’s recruiting is even worse, and his on the field product is the consistently one of the worst that UF has ever had. Recruiting is only a piece of the puzzle. Coaching matters just as much, if not more. When they fired Mullen, they should have gone after a proven power 5 coach who actually knows what he’s doing. Instead, we got Sun Belt Billy.
As a Gator fan I respect Mullen he probably shouldn’t have been fired he had us playing well it was just the locker room that was bad and honestly it wasn’t his fault. Wish him nothing but the best and Hope he finds success
I hope he gets a dream job. I have maintained from the beginning that I didn’t want him fired from Florida. Go Gators and best of luck Coach Mullen.
Mullen should go somewhere like Vandy and become a legend. Get three straight 6 win seasons?... they'll erect a bronze statue in his honor. Like Matt Campbell at Iowa State, He reached 31 career wins & was the G.O.A.T. in Ames!!
dan wants the NFL.
Seems like if Shane beamer doesn't work out Mullen might be like a perfect fit. That way he could stay in the SEC but the expectations wouldn't be as ridiculous like at Florida
Why is it failed Florida coaches go to South Carolina?
Agreed. Mullen can do what he wants as he wants. Saying that, while I question his ability to "head coach" at a major program, he is a very VERY good offensive coordinator. If it wasn't for egos Florida could do worse than re-hiring him as the O-Coach.
Dan Mullen to Georgia
probably waiting until college football is a bit more stable
He should have never been fired from Florida. I’ll die on that hill.
Could be Gainesville, GA as well
Florida should've never fired Dan Mullen
Timing is everything in this industry !
It can be the difference between success and failure !
Had Billy Napier been hired two or three years earlier at Florida he would have had a much greater chance at success because
Mike Norvell wouldn't have the headstart on building a program and where it's currently trending. Billy would have also been in a much better position to battle Mario Cristobal in recruiting.
Not to mention the brutal schedule in Billy's critical 3rd year !
Some coaches are great leaders. Some are great play callers. Some are great recruiters. Some are great program builders. Rarely are coaches great at them all. Dan Mullen is an offensive coordinator. Period.
Coach Mullen and Coach Malzahn are excellent coaches who because of idiot fan bases got fired.
Great OC. Mullen makes it clear recruiting is not for him. I would also bet he doesn't like the new NIL and portal environment that gives players a lot more power in how you can run a program. NFL Dan makes a lot of sense.
Is Gary Patterson following the Mullen retirement plan?
Heck let Napier recruit, and let Darth Van Mullen coach. Should help Florida become a .500 team again.
Mullen’s recruiting classes were higher ranked than Napier’s.
@@FightingMexican maybe but Dan the Man with zero recruiting plan will tell you that even he personally hardly ever recruited. His on field X's and O's though far superior to that of Napier "foolsball."
Love the set, but what’s up with the cowbell 🤮
Looking back on it, replacing Dan Mullen for a fucking Egghead was real smart
Dude quit on the team, just remember that when he's looked at with rose colored glasses now
When given talent, he will optimize it. If he’s tasked to build it, he will eventually destroy the program down to its foundation. He’s made to be an OC not a HC. Go Gators. screw Mullen.
Head coaches are bailing, not jumping in. If I had a studio job I’d be uninterested at the moment until things change.
They should fire the trash we have now 😂
Hope he gets back into coaching cause he stinks on TV!!!!
josh i wonder what u looked like with hair
