Bianchi on Mullen hire

I agree with some of it, not all. He makes some bery good points, stretches some Kelly flaws a little. Love that he admits being wrong on Champ and Mac.
All in all, I say we have to roll with it. Still just confused why Foley didn’t do this three years ago

Remember this nugget from when McElwanker was hired? Mullen been wanting this all along and Foley wouldn't offer because he didn't like him. Foley is such a b*tchass. Always has been. Oh, and do you still like Mullen's humor now McElwanker?

It's Bianchi...he makes some good points but totally over sells it. Chip Kelly would have been a home run but he's happy doing something totally different. He'll have success and UCLA will be very good. I'm excited to see how Mullen handles this recruiting class. That's super important.
Good catch. This is an interesting article. You can paraphrase Foley's comments as: I want someone who's going to kiss my backside.
Foley said then. "You can't come in here and think that football is more important than 20 other sports; that mindset doesn't work here."
To quote Yoda: And this is why we fail.
And it turned out that McElwain acted that way anyway. That McElwain hire was a real head scratcher. How could you sit down with that weirdo for any length of time and come away thinking that's the guy you want?
It was all about the offense. We desperately wanted to replicate the Colorado St offense here
Mac forgot to bring it with him. Probably didn't have room with all the cases of his wife's gourmet barbecue sauce that he was getting ready to hawk at the Swamp on gamedays.
Or better said; "fail, this is why we do"
Mullen will need to fit into the Florida sports culture. That is real and that is special the way all sports support one another. But I have no problem with focusing on football infrastructure for the next few years.
I think the options at the time were more limited than now. In retrospect, had he fired Muschamp after Ga Southern, we could have pursued James Franklin and probably gotten him
And yet Coach Walton of UF softball prowess, tweeted a very warming welcome to Mullen and said how when Mullen was here 10 years ago that he was a stand up good, nice, family guy. Lol, so what is Foley even talking about?
According to everything I have read Mac was hated in the ‘all-sports’ culture from day one. Chump was adored in that arena, hence the longer retention
BS. Foley’s arrogant, imcompetent ass should have made this exact hire three years ago
No one cares if foley disappears, he would have hired Schiano before tennessee tried to chop wood...
nothing more even needs to be said
I’m on board and the feeling is growing by the minute, but again...those teams had absurd talent for him to play with.
It’s almost as if Mullen’s players actually improved under his tutelage.
It’s a bizarre concept.
but people are acting like we won't have those elite players again in our fanbase, our fans brains have turned into eternal pessimistic mush and goo.. It doesn't even need to be all ELITE guys for him to win and have offenses, he's proven it for over a decade now and almost a decade exactly at Miss State my school.. and stricklin's...
Danny, agree. Its weird but I am actually moving pasy accepting and even getting excited
Thanks for the timely link.
Absolute nonsense! It's another example of Bianchi's ignorance of the English language. "Florida bloodlines" are not established by a few years of mere employment in Florida, especially not when that employment totals only 4 years, in contrast to living the rest of his life out-of-state.
Mullen is a native Yankee: i.e., born (1972) in Pennsylvania; played high-school football in Manchester, New Hampshire; played college football at Ursinus (Class of '94) in Collegeville (metro Philly), Pennsylvania [@].
Bianchi's phrase reminds me of those ignorant Florida natives who tolerate Yankee transplants-in-adulthood claiming themselves to be "(practically) Florida natives" because those transplants have lived in Florida long enough for them to "feel" as if they were born here. How dare we genuine Florida natives refuse to accept their "feelings". Never mind that the key word has a single unambiguous qualification.
Upon further review, my engineering background overruled my classical background; so applying instead an older nonmechanical definition of "instrumental", I've withdrawn my objection to the quoted excerpt immediately above, as indicated by my strike-thro':

Note @: Now I know why Mullen's connections to Florida football were so difficult to remember: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Mullen> (insert disclaimer about risks of trusting Wikipedia for biographical details).

Problem with that was that Nuss was not the OC at ColoSt...
I wonder if the problem was that they both (Mc-Nuss) came here for the paychecks, knowing that no matter what happened, they'd still be millionairs when they left here...
Heck, for 6 Million dollars, I'd take the job for 1 year. You could all say terrible things about me and my family. You could even send me death threats and threaten to run me outta town on a rail. I'd still be very happy to leave at the end of just 1 season,,,, laughing and smiling all the way out of town...
Doesn’t that rely on us finding the next Tebow and Harvin? Seems like a difficult task
nothing more even needs to be said
They just might already be on the current roster, they just needed a Mullen to coach them up and then call the plays.
i.e.
QB Trask 6-4 240 -- Thunder
Ath Kadarius Toney 5-11 194 - Lightening
It would help but not necessarily. We could get back into the groove of getting those type of players.
Yes, if UF doesn’t find the next Tebow and Harvin, they will never be a winning program.
And you jerks will be eating dirt if it comes to pass.
'Selective Memories' are already being put on stand-by for the event.

Dude, chill.
You can’t laugh at yourself?
Occasionally, when I'm not already laughing at the circle of jerks...
You can't pass on throwing sticks at me at every opportunity?
And then pretending that's not exactly what you're doing?
Now, go back to getting drunk all by yourself again...

It’s called “ribbing.”
That’s all.
You were in the military. You’re telling me you never “busted balls” with each other?
Like I said. Chill. Not everything is a slieght.
In my world, you rag on your fishing buddies or your long time friends.
You are neither to me. Telling I have to accept you or your kind of constant idiot stalker BS, is the liberal kind of crap that I refuse to accept.
So take your chill and shove it. If you don't like my kind of 'in kind' responses to your crap, the the ignore option is always open to you.
But a closet masocist like yourself will likely never go there, so FU.
And no, I'm not mad at all, I'm just still laughing at your dumb azz while you waste more time getting bitch slapped...
