And so, it begins.......

Isn't the Florida administration Scott Stricklin? Stricklin has been down this road many times with Mullen and knew Mullen flirts with any job opportunity out there from past experience. If that was going to be a problem then he made the wrong hire. Of course, I don't know how much influence Foley or others still have behind the scenes.
I think he gets an NFL gig this year
Lol well at least he's consistent. I for one actually thought he'd be satisfied in Fla with his "dream" job but I guess not.
I'm thinking this meltdown by the Gators team and DM has hurt his chances in the NFL. But regardless he want need a stimulus check.
I agree. I think it's the Jets that make the most sense. Give Darnold one year with Dan and see what he can do. Move back in the draft and get some guys around him (Perfect chance to get a Kyle Pitts) and maybe grab another OL. Draft Trask in the second round as your backup plan.
Jets might really be able to acquire draft capital moving back. There are a ton of NFL WRs available in the 1st round to get between picks 8 and 20. Smith, Waddle, Pitts, Chase, Toney, Bateman. They need at least one of those and I bet they can convince Washington, Atlanta, or someone else to move up to get Fields and give up a crap ton to do it.
Foley has all the influence. Strick is there for the day to day minutia that Foley doesn't want to deal with. Keep in mind, Mullen was the back up plan and not one of Foley's preferred candidates. Foley had already dealt with Mullen and they had supposedly butted heads. I wouldn't be surprised if Foley has put Mullen on notice already - or else this story doesn't get out there.
I read that as Mullen is working his ass off to get a NFL job right now. I bet he lands one too.
Would Lawrence or Fields fit Mullen’s system better?
Absolutely Lawrence is the better QB I’m not saying that at all.
I know I'm not alone, but I stated from day one that he would last 3-4 years max at Florida. It was an easy prediction. Fired, retired, new gig,..... doesn't matter. He just wasn't going to stay there long.
Who on his coaching staff would you like back at State?
I don't think there's any chance Mullen gets an NFL job.
Mullen to Jacksonville, Dak signs with Jacksonville, and the Jags use the draft and their 75 million in cap space to build a team around Dak. The Jags will have 2 first round picks thanks to the Jalen Ramsey trade.
The idea that Dan would get an NFL job before Urban is crazy. Urban and Dan back together would be solid.
I think he sees the writing on the wall of how shitty they are going to be next year. He doesn't know if he wants to stick through a year like that in order to cycle back to the top of the division in 2-3 years.
Dan is about to find out how good MSU was to him. He's out looking for a NFL job and Florida is about to tell him to get his ass in line or leave.
To even think Saban isn't one of the all time great college coaches is pretty well off the mark. Do you guys think Bear Byrant was a great x and o guy, LOL? Great Coaches surround themselves with great players and a great staff. Saban does this as well as any.
These fools also want Grantham Gone ... also some expected Mullen dissatisfaction

I don't really think success at either level is a sure thing when crossing over from college to NFL or vice versa. Coaching in either field is vastly different from each other. The most recent NFL coach that I can think of that took over a College team was Jim Mora Jr and he didn't do too well. Here?s a good article i read before on the college to NFL transition: https://www.google.com/amp/s/syndica...e-nfl.amp.html
