Chick-fil-a Bowl UF vs Michigan third times the charm??

[Boston Vol]

So glad we held up pulling the trigger on Mullen.

See. Administration’s slow but drama-filled hiring process works every time.

Mullen was never coming here once UF was a legitimate option.

 

[UTK]

I stress don't be proclaiming UF is "back" or some crap though, the past 2 coaches had really good years and an absoulte slide after that. Dan Mullen is a hell of a coach though, but lets see what happens.

 

[Gatorsec]

Our coaching search was a cluster... but I don’t think we could have beaten UF for Mullen’s services.

You guys should been in communication with his agent during the season, everyone knew butch would have been canned

 

[VolsSportsFan]

That and a few of Michigan's best players decided to quit on their teammates to protect their draft stock

It's too bad people just now decided to start the faux outrage over players "quitting" before bowl games, since coaches have been doing it forever.

Mullen was never coming here once UF was a legitimate option.

Considering all we had to do was actually offer him, he woulda came here well before UF offered. Thats the sad thing. lol

 

[Zues1]

The speed of Michigan is.........slow

How is sitting out a meaningless bowl game, to protect your financial future, quitting on your teammates?

You're on scholarship to play football. When you do that crap you're in breach of contract IMO. These are tge same divas who in a couple of years will hold out becausethey don't like the terms of their contract

That’s not true. So it’s the only non-sad part of Currie’s efforts.

What outrage are you talking about? I simply made a statement

Do you really not understand that. You have fought all year long with your teammates to win games and then you say never mind you go fight this one without me. I’m going to go sit on the couch.

 

[TrueOrange]

Looking like UF will finish as a top ten team in Mullen’s first year.

You got it wrong..they are standing on the sidelines

 

[VolInNW]

We will never truly know.

Meanwhile, at least Pruitt got to spend Christmas at home with Friends and family.

Pun intended.

Sure.

 

[MurphyVol]

"Mullen had been in contact with former Tennessee athletic director John Currie the day before regarding the Vols' coaching vacancy, but the Gators won the pursuit.
Currie sent a message on Nov. 25 to Clint Dowdle, who is part of the sports agency group that represents Mullen, asking Dowdle to send Mullen a memorandum of understanding.
That day, UCLA hired Chip Kelly, who had been courted by Florida. The next day, Mullen reached a deal with Florida, and Currie turned his sights to Schiano."

Had UF not had an opening Dan would be our coach and Currie would still have a job

They did in Muschamp's first year too

Lol yeah, no outrage here. And I guess you've felt this way about coaches who ditch on their teams before bowls to accept a new job too huh?

Which coaches in this particular game quit to join a new team?

 

[Boston Vol]

They did in Muschamp's first year too

They were 7-6 in muschamp’s first season, try again.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Not a TD.

Lol....so your faux outage only is for this game? You're trying too hard buddy.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Wrong.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Wrong.

He's good at that apparently.

 

[99gator]

Wrong.

People can compare this to what Muschamp did in 2012 and what McElwain did by winning the East twice, but it's a whole lot different.

That's what we'rediscussing here. This game. Hence the thread title. You're the one trying way too hard to derail the thread. Kindly stfu
