    I don't think anybody is going to be at Florida for very long these days.

    Well when the back up kicker is the only one to go to the band after the game for the alma mater, there are issues.

    Not as long as Saban is alive and producing great seasons and new head coaches like Kirby.

    The biggest problem in college football is Nick Saban

    Everybody wants to be saban and it just ain't gonna happen. I think we are close to the end of saban, I give him 2-3 more years and he will retire around 2024-2025.

    Once saban retires the next guy will win a national title the very next year and once saban's players leave they will turn into a les miles LSU type going 9-3 and 10-2 and after 2-3 seasons of that , he will be fired and the same thing will keep happening.

    I don't really care that Mullen was fired but if you look at it from a bigger picture, who can they hire that can come in and in 2-3 years compete for a Natty....Good Luck with that if you're Florida. Also, I always lol at the " the coach lost the players" line. What does that even mean? That's a message board, sports radio buzz word...

How stupid can they be? Guess what? Lane Kiffin is not an upgrade from Dan Mullen. I agree Mullen should've hired a recruiting position to help and that would've been an easy fix. And for those that say Florida wants to compete with Georgia, well, he beat Georgia last year and Kirby hasn't won the natty yet....I think Bama will beat them in Atlanta but that's another topic...So, Dan is fired, they hire another coach which will take at least a year or two to install his system and players and they are back to square one....What a dumb move...

    Mullen was on the hot seat from the beginning. He was their 4th or 5th choice at best and many there remembered his time as OC. Basically they were ready to run him off when he took our job.. I think he had to get them into the National Championship Playoffs pretty quick to keep the job regardless. This year just reinforced that Mullen wasn't up to the task of getting FL back to national prominence so there was no need to wait.

    I shed no tears for Dan. Having said that, Florida has become the Texas of the SEC. Coaches are a revoling door and the culture is toxic.

    Wasn't Scott Frost their primary target and he said no for Nebraska?

    Seems like it was him and one of the Kelly's (but I don't remember which one) were the main ones.

    I think LSU is heading down that same road .... they haven't fired as many coaches yet but I see similarities in mindset and expectations
    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    I'd love for LSU to go through a coaching carousel for several years. We could get a toe in Louisiana on recruiting some serious talent and have a slightly easier road in the West.

    This is similar to UCLA in basketball. A bunch of spoiled rich kids who demand they fire the coach every 2-3 years unless they win a national title.

    Mullen won the NC as O Coord after he was announced as our HC.
