Not the enormous amount people were expecting -- especially if rumors were true that we were going to $6m+. Guy was just ready to go.Quote:

Dan Mullen's contract -- $6 million a year for six years, the Sun has learned -- @pat_dooley
Oh, and buyout here was only $500k.
We would have gone up to 6.5-7. He was just ready to leave.
A source would have been nice bluelight...The buyout of $500k isn't the deal.. UF would have paid way more to get him likely.Dan Mullen's contract -- $6 million a year for six years, the Sun has learned

Apparently just tired of being Saban's bitch and losing the Egg while he was looking for jobs every year. I guess he thinks Kirby won't be as rough when he bends him over in Jacksonville.Quote:

Surely UT had to have offered more than that of they were serious about Mullen.
Yep agree with you on this. But he is about to be Smarts and O's bitch. If we played LSU now they would beat us.Quote:

Jacksonville ABC/NBC News ended their segment on it last night with "Dan Mullen brings back a history of championship level offenses. Something Florida fans have a right to expect for the Gators". Those entitled SOBs are getting what they deserve. QB draw on 3rd and 11. Every. Single. Time.Quote:

Retirement contract? How much do you need nowadays to retire? He?s already made well over $30 million.
He should probably refund whatever he was paid for this season. It seems to have vanished into thin air.
All about perspective. I had a archaeologist friend who won $3m in the GA lottery. He bought a small house in the country, a new F250, a bass boat, and put the rest in a trust. Worked spring and fall when the weather was nice and only chose jobs near good bass fishing. Archaeology paid for bait, gas, beer, bait, and food. Something tell me Dan needs more than that.Quote:

Yeah. Relentless effort. Like the last series vs. Bama or the first vs. UM. What a bumper sticker! If only bumper stickers could coach . . .Quote:

Yankee was given everything he ever wanted and more, but it wasn't enough.
Barring any back to back horrid seasons he could have retired here. How much of a gut punch will it be if Lil Nicky hangs them up this year or next? Dipshit will have gone over to the potential next Bama, in Georgia, while finally having the team to win the West without Saban.
I say this because there has been a noticeable decline in Bama the last 3-4 seasons. They could've easily had 3 losses this year, including to us and LSU. The trajectory of that program is currently downward and Nicky may want to get out before ending a career with an 8-4 season. They have Mizzou and TN from east next year, with USC in 2019, and Georgia in 2020. Let's factor in an Auburn team on the rise, the most talented team in MSU history and an LSU that always plays them tight. He's getting up in age and may not want to wait much longer and go out somewhat on top.
This is where i'm at. If a coach tells the media and fans, I'm happy here, great job, blah,blah,blah and then leaves, that's part of it. Telling your players straight to their face you're not going anywhere and then bailing on them. That takes, a cold hearted snake. That's narcissistic, sociapath behavior. No remorse, no concern for anyone but yourself. Showed his true colors. And Megan saying she hated the way they were treated at florida, blah,blah,blah and now Dan saying she picked going back there. They can have both of themQuote:

Similar to how when USM is good, we suffer with our depth some. I didn't think about USF, UCF, FAU, and others all taking the 3rd string type players from UF. It will be interesting to see if Mullen ups his recruiting game or if UF will melt down when he gets a top 20 class instead of a top 5.Quote:

17 him
He probably said, "We just love Gainsville soooo much that we couldn't pass it up. Megan just looooves the fans here and doesn't actually think they suck. Go Gay tors".
