I think that the Bama game was the breaking point. Mullen wanted bama put his best foot forward there and lost, and didnt care afterword.

Since Spurrier, no coach has lasted 4 complete seasons except for Urban Meyer. There ain't no patience in the Swamp. Spurrier spoiled those MFers.

Pete Thamel says just firing Hev and Grantham was not enough. The performance of the team in the next three games will decide the future of Dan Mullen at Florida.
And Dan says it was "his" idea to fire Hev and Grantham. There was "no outside pressure". GTFOH with that Dan.

Realistically, what should Florida's expectations be? I don't think Dan is that far off. His lack of showing an interest in recruiting, brash personality, and overall stubbornness definitely doesn't help him in the fan relationship.
I think we all could see this fallout coming the day he was hired.

Realistically, with the SEC East the way it is currently, UF should be undefeated every year going into The Cocktail Party. No one else in the east should be a threat, and the UGA game should be a knock-down, drag out brawl for the east title. Period. Anything less than that and Florida is underachieving. The only exception would be this year with Bama on the schedule. If UF was 7-2 right now with a 2 point loss to Bama and a close game against UGA there is no heat right now. If they had the 2 point Bama loss and still had the 34-7 let down against UGA, they are grumbling a bit, but winning out would cure a lot.
ETA: I forgot that LSU is their permanent West opponent. So I'll add that the LSU game is like the Cocktail party in that it is their only other make or break game.
Dan is 2-8 against both combined - that keeps you in the dog house with UF fans, and makes seasons like this firable.

Yep.
He?s done.

He's doing as well as his two predecessors...you mean the last two former coaches? If it wasn't good enough for them why would it be for Mullen?

They are not going to get a prospect that looks better than Dan did coming in. But his predecessors that he is doing as well as got fired. And I'm not sure either of them were as unlikeable as Mullen. My understanding is that McElwain (sp) was weird, but I don't know that his reputation was being an ass hole. All that to say, they probably won't do better, but that doesn't mean they're going to accept Mullen's performance. I think they'd be willing to give him some slack if he didn't say shit to piss them off.
They probably do have unrealistic expectations, but if Mullen gets fired, it won't be for his overall record. It will be for the way they have fallen off a cliff. I can get the concern that eh came in with a reputation for being a poor recruiter, and he immediately made other people's recruits pretty good, but right when he should be getting his players in and building up to a peak to compete with UGA consistently, they have fallen apart and looked like shit a good bit.

17 em. They both can suck tomatoe paste out of a hobo's ass for all I care...

Dan is 4-8 in his last 12 games and the team absolutely looks like they have quit on him. While he may have a similar record to his predecessors I don't believe they ever had a stretch that bad. Add that to his pissing off everyone in blue and orange with his attitude( which we all knew would happen) and you've got a recipe for disaster

Florida fans are spoiled @holes, they are like UCLA fans in basketball.
Dan is toast. That?s a tough crowd they want a flashy hire big recruiter. FSU is pretty similar, they hired a good coach but he probably won?t be given enough time.

Manny Diaz is in the same boat, and it's sinking fast.

The Bull Gators don't go for this down year stuff or rebuilding. They expect their football program to reload like Bama and GA. Spurrier had been upset on some stuff way before this season blew up. He even said on this year's losses , the main problem was they could not tackle.

Well, supposedly Mullen told the ones he was interviewing for his initial staff to come on with me and we will go to a few bowl games, and then we will move on to a real football school. One assistant coach he interviewed didn't care for the way MSU was being put down and refused his offer. Well, if that's the case they made it to that real football school, but the stove was too hot and apparently all will get burned.

Maybe, maybe not?
If they win out he will be the coach next year ? They just gave him an extension in June. It would be dumb to fire him after this season. He?s a heck of a coach and teams like Florida overreact and that?s why they can?t win consistently?
-
I think given a good staff/recruiters Mullen would do well at Florida if given time.
How freaking hard is it to recruit to UF ? Shouldn’t be very hard.
I think manny Diaz is in over his head.

He is doing almost as well as the last two coaches - both of whom were fired.
