Quote "Hope the new coach is interested in playing second fiddle to the baseball team". This comes from someone close to the uf program.
I don't buy ole Danny boys story for one minute considering what resources our admin has put into ALL sports here. I think he was just ready to go. It's fine if you want to move on but talk down about our admin and especially Cohen who is one of us.

He was already a top 15 paid coach and Grantham was paid $1 Mill per year with a 3 year deal. It sounds like he wanted a "reason" to leave. Baseball coaches are paid drastically below football so I don't know how much money going into baseball would even affect football. Unless he wanted some kind of facility upgrade and Cohen said it would have to wait until the baseball stadium was finished. Baseball is also our best opportunity to win a National Championship at MSU. Football and basketball (M&W) is a tougher environment. Women's basketball is probably the next best chance after baseball but UConn is like Bama football on steriods.

$300k for Grantham and the defensive staff? - I bet Cohen was down for that. $300k more for Gonzo and Hev? I hope Cohen told him to cram that up his ass.

Just excuses to leave, I guess an attempt to build himself up and to make the uf fanbase feel like they are a bigger fish and have more "resources" than poor ole State. Extremely disappointing to me on his part.

This is kind of the thing. Other than ego, there was no good reason to leave.
That's the part of this that everyone is struggling with. Mullen left for no good reason. He just left & I hope he pays for that decision.

That's pretty funny coming from a guy who was Florida's FOURTH choice and shares an office with Steve Spurrier.
