Dan Mullen is at it again - Transfer Portal

I despise Fla but good for them to show us how to play the transfer portal game. I personally don’t think it’s good for college football to build a team of free agents, but if it helps them beat GA and it cost Kirby his job so be it.
I can’t help but think that every time Cade Mays, Tee Higgins or Amari Rogers come to town there’s not a bunch of Vol fans that aren’t trying to talk them into entering the portal knowing UT would take them in a heart beat

And I believe that any coach who so extensively uses the portal wouldn’t be looking to use the portal himself (nfl or bigger job)

Gave you 4 other examples at Florida that did very well, instead you decided to find a bust in Miami. Good job.

Again, you’re cherry picking examples. Tons of kids transfer every year. Saying it’s a slam dunk because some of them work out is dumb. It’s like the ppl saying recruiting rankings don’t matter because a 5* was a bust and a 3* did well.

Obviously they're talking about BEFORE they enter the portal. I would say stop playing dumb again, but maybe you're not playing.

You want me to agree with you on something I don’t agree with, because there is no proof of your accusation. And when I don’t agree, you accuse me of playing dumb.

So again, show me where Mullen spoke with anyone before they entered the portal. Source, link, anything. Until then, YOU are the one playing dumb.

The mistake you’re making is that you’re using everyone else as an example, and ignoring the Florida example. Why look at the others, when you have Florida mastering this thing. It’s the opposite of Miami and Tate Martell, that’s the point of this thread.

2020 will be Mullen's 12th attempt at winning a division title. So far, he is 0-11.

If he comes up short yet again, it appears gator nation is ready to move on to the next guy.

It's time to officially fire up the head coaching search. Who you got?

For starters, Gatorchatter is the worst Gator site out there. It is infested with, and ran by, Gator haters. So anything you draw from there should be looked at skeptically. The idea that you hang out on Gatorchatter explains a lot with regard to your total hate and general nastiness toward Florida and a lot of other things. The attitude and tone there negatively affects people, that’s why I stopped reading and posting there a couple years ago.

Secondly, Mullen is the greatest coach in Miss State history. He had that team at #1 in the country for multiple weeks. He was 6-2 in bowl games there. You’re somehow holding it against him because he didn’t win a Division title at Miss State during the Saban Dynasty?? Guess what, hardly anyone else won a Division title during those 9 years not named Nick Saban. Saban won the west in 6 of Mullen’s 9 years.

If Mullen has gone 9 years at Florida without a Division title then I agree, we have a problem. In the meantime, regardless of what Gatorchatter tells you, Gator Nation is beyond thrilled with the direction of UF under Mullen. The vast majority of us are pulling for an extension and raise.

But which is it? JaxVol and others are explaining how bad Mullen sucks because he never won the west over Saban, yet you and others are insisting he’s going to the Cowboys.

Has anyone told Jerry Jones Mullen sucks because he didn’t upend the greatest college football dynasty ever at Mississippi freaking State? Apparently not.

Y’all can’t even get your Mullen strategy together. Either he sucks or he’s the lead candidate for the marquis franchise in the NFL. Have a small council meeting on which it is and get back to the rest of us. Thanks.

Because the sample size is too small. 2-3 players working for UF one time doesn’t mean it always will. Players that transfer have baggage. There’s a reason they aren’t with the time they signed with. In Lingards case he has a blown out knee and couldn’t crack Miami’s depth chart.

2-3 players? You haven’t been paying attention. Florida has numerous players who transferred in who are thriving. You know about Van Jefferson and Jon Greenard, but there’s Jean Delance who started every game at right tackle, Adam Shuler starter at DT, Marlon Dunlap heavy contributor at DT (until injury), Tre Grimes heavy contributor at WR, even 2 year starter at punter Townsend was a portal guy, Lucas Krull solid contributor at a backup TE, and then you’ve got several who we haven’t seen yet; DE Brenton Cox, WR Pouncey, RB Lorenzo Lingard. It’s way more than 2-3 guys.

You’re a great example of a fan in denial, or in the dark, on what Mullen has cooking with the transfer portal.

I never said slam dunk about anything. The original post that I was replying to that a 5 star transfer should not be considered a 5 star just because it didn't work out in the prior class. Of course some fail and some do well. Majority of transfers under Mullen to UF have done very well over the past two years despite it "not working out" on their last team. I gave you at least 4 examples of that.

My comment was not addressing his skills, only that if your personality of playing in the receiving end of the transfer pool you’ll probably play in the other end too.... listening for better opportunities.
I do believe he’s being considered by Jerry Jones for the cowboys position, but consider its Jason Garrett he’d be replacing, a significant number of coaches would qualify
There are several owners in the NFL that make coaching decision that make me question how they made enough money to buy a franchise

Oh, gotcha. 21-5 overall record and back to back major bowl wins and consecutive seasons in the final top 6/7 National Rankings is accomplishing nothing. Give me more nothing. 😂

Former Miami RB Lorenzo Lingard, consensus 5-star out of High School is transferring to Florida. Former Penn State WR Justin Shorter, also a consensus 5-star out of High School is said to be strongly considering Florida and could announce very soon.

If Shorter joins Lingard, that would be four 5-star players on the UF roster via the transfer portal whow never lived up to their star rabrings and underperformed with other teams; Tre Grimes, Brenton Cox, Lorenzo Lingard are the other 3.

Dan Mullen continues to methodically build his UF roster with a combination of really good High School recruiting and really good transfer portal recruiting.

Smart won the SEC, a playoff game, and the east 3 consecutive years recruiting HS kids over transfers.

Smart gets credit for the SEC title, absolutely, even though that was with mostly Mark Richt’s players. The rest of that stuff is fluff. You’re talking to a Florida fan, we don’t hang banners for East titles or “playoff wins.” I can see you wanting to shine lights on that since you haven’t won THE big one since 1980, but you’ll need to find a South Carolina or Missouri fan somewhere to be impressed with East titles.

Kirby is best known for pissing-away championship games in huge moments. I know Georgia fans well, if they were cool with an occasional SEC title every five or six years, Mark Richt would still be there.

Maybe if he picked up a couple players out the portal he could get over the hump? You’re saying guys like Van Jefferson or Tre Grimes wouldn’t have helped UGA’s pathetic WR corps this year? Hell, where did Cager come from and where would Georgia have been without him this year? I’ll save you the google search, he came from the transfer portal.

It’s hard work when I know more about these teams than fans of these teams.

First, Richt couldn’t get his players there. Second, half the team were Smart recruits. It’s hilarious to me that you’d down play playoff wins when Florida has never made it to the playoffs. It’s cool Florida used to be good, but I’d rather be relevant now than in the past and right now UGA is stomping Florida and relevant. Neither Meyer nor Spurrier won a championship or even made it to one in their first 2 years as being HC. Kirby accomplished more in 2 years than Mullen has in his entire career.

As for cager, he didn’t have a blown out knee and he didn’t play RB. It’s hilarious you’re acting like a transfer would be the only player that could’ve helped UGA. Literally any 5* recruit would’ve been a bonus too. Until MuLLLen learns how to recruit or score on Smart’s defense, he’ll always be looking up at him.

This above was my favorite part. Except that Kirby was 21-7 after his first two years at Georgia while Mullen is 21-5 after his first two years at Florida. And Kirby inherited a LOADED team while Mullen inherited a 4-win team. 😂

Ever wonder why the NFL never comes asking about Kirby like they do Mullen? It’s because he’s a clown. Great recruiter but horrible game day coach. Jumps around on the sideline like a Junior High gym teacher. When Mullen catches up in recruiting (and he’s closing fast), he’ll rattle off several wins over Kirby in a row.

One last thing. You really brought up “Florida has no playoff wins?” Well, it hasn’t been around long and Georgia only has 1. And if the playoffs were around in the 90’s and during the Meyer era, well Florida would have several more national titles (and so would Tennessee). Georgia needs to sit this one out.

1980.

Smart a HC with 1 SECC, 1 playoff win, 3 east titles, and a winning record against top 10 opponents.
Mullen a HC for 10+ years with nada.

Again, I’d rather be relevant now than in the past. I’d rather have the coach that’s 3-0 against the other and who actually wins important games.

24-17. 3-0
