I would expect him to win 10 games with losses to UGA and FSU. We have a very manageable schedule this year. If he pulls upsets against either of the two and wins 11+ games I'll be here to publicly eat me words.

- Thread starter -MDVOL
- Start date
How long has it been since a coach won 11 regular season games in his first year at an SEC school?
Has it ever been done?
You called somebody ELSE an a-hole fan? YOU? The guy calling for coaches' heads before coaching a single game? YOU? The guy calling a new hire head coach a failure during his first training camp?
Dude, you are the a-holiest a-hole that ever holed an a.
I never called for Mullen's head or called him a failure.
Not once. Never. You are sadly mistaken.
In fact, I said he was the "safest" hire.
What I said was there is a long list of hires that were better than him or comparable to him at a lower salary.
Yes, in fact it has been done. One coach I know of won 11+ games during his 1st 3 years as a head coach. His records were 11-1, 11-2 and 12-2. He also won his division his first year, won it again the 3rd year, which was capped off with a NC.
Hint: He also ate grass.
(You should have gone to bed when I told you. This weekend is not starting off very well for you.)
And of course...you're wrong.
Less had 10 regular season wins in 2005 not 11. He had 11 wins total for the season, which is not what I asked.
Also, Less inherited a Top 5 program, LSU was ranked #5 when he took over. Saban had signed the #1 and #2 classes the two years before Less took over.
Mullen is inheriting a Florida program that is unranked. In fact, the AP doesn't even give them any votes in its preseason poll. And everyone here knows how bad McElwain's recruiting was.
So Miles inherited the #5 team, and finished #5, yet you want Mullen to inherit an unranked Florida team, and do the same thing.
That sounds sane.
For those wondering, the answer is 'no'. No coach in the history of the SEC has ever won 11 regular season games in his first season as coach at a school. And they never will.
Bingo. You win the internet for today!
Please, for the love of god, stop debating Les Miles vs. Dan Mullen. It’s draining me of my will to live. Let’s just agree that your opinions differ and all move on with our lives.
You called him a failure for his recruiting.
Both he and Fever have said Mullen needs 10-11 regular season wins to impress them. Both site 'manageable schedule' as the reason why. Both ignore the poor recruiting, which they complained about with McElwain, but doesn't matter here.
Saban won 6 games his first regular season at Bama with about the same talent. Kirby won 7 games his first regular season at Georgia with more talent.
Saying Mullen needs to win 10-11 regular season games to be a success this year just isn't realistic by any stretch of the imagination.
Have to admire your "But, but, but...." schtick. LMAFO!! There goes Gerbilboy on the inside lane of the roundabout again!!!
Some might say insanity sounds like offering a guy who was fired at his last HC gig and is now an unemployed coach moonlighting as a TV analyst with no job offers on the table. I say otherwise.
Unrealistic expectations so they can keep the same post going.
It wasn't until late in the thread you brought up salary.
You started it off trying to compare our hiring to the Trainwreck that was UT.
We interviewed one guy. He was a west coast guy. He took a west coast job.
We made a phone call to another guy. He was a Nebraska guy. Nebraska had an open. He took that job.
We called a former coordinator who while a coordinator here the team won some huge games. The side of the ball he coordinated put up some of the best numbers. This same guy took a job at the conference door mat. He took them to many successful seasons that they haven't ever consistently seen. He accepted the job.
All the other junk is useless to argue. We don't know if Miles could have won division titles at MSU..we don't know of Mullen could win 10 games at Memphis or Va Tech.
Reading arguments by Homo S is terribly tiresome...

Hell will freeze over before this team would go better than 9-3 in the regular season schedule. We don't have the 2015 defense to do that.
The year he won the NC he got a LOT of luck... in fact, he lived on luck for a long time when all his risks paid off. It got to where you just expected them to always do a trick play or go for it on 4th down. They got a couple wins against us where they lose if one of those risks doesn’t pay off... in 07 if we make one stop on D we take that game, and in ‘10, we knew they were going to fake the FG and still weren’t in position to make the obvious play... I actually kind of honk if we had managed to win that game Brantley maybe had a different approach and plays with some confidence instead of overthinking like he did every game afterward, and our history is a little different.
I don’t know that miles would have been the right hire but I do think, with the low bar we have, he would have been an improvement
The weekend is ending the same way it started for you. LMFAO!!!
Don't let anyone kid you. You're special!!
Couldn't of said it better myself!!!!
There are 2 things about you that are consistent. 1.) Even in the closing seconds of your defeat, you continue to fight. 2.) Being wrong.With you being wrong and clamoring for my attention.
What's that old saying, give 'em enough rope and they'll hang themselves. Damn son, you not only hung yourself, you also got hogtied with a pretty little bow.
Gus Malzahn said to tell you Chip Kelly had been fired from his last 2 HC gigs, was an unemployed coach working as a football analyst for a year, while he waited for an offer, which finally came from...you guess it...us. (I especially like that part where you answer your own question, incorrectly of course.) Chip Kelly said to tell you Guz Malzahn. In case you are wondering, I am not laughing with you.
The fact that he stewed over this thread all weekend trying to think up a better reply is telling.
The fact that he invested that much time and STILL failed, is just sad.

No, seriously, I am thrilled you post here. After all the years of Muschamp and McElwain, we can all use a big laugh. Watching you flounder around in circles with bad math, answering your own questions incorrectly and defying your own logic brings a belly full of laughs.
That one where you ask, has any coach ever won 11 regular season games and then answer with "For those wondering, the answer is 'no'. No coach in the history of the SEC has ever won 11 regular season games in his first season as coach at a school. And they never will." I haven't laughed so hard since Jameis Winston threw the ball backwards in a playoff game against Oregon. And you are worried about being mocked if you provided a Top 10 list. If you don't want to be mocked for your stupidity, step away from the keyboard. But, please don't. You are quite the entertainment. Like a circus clown. Did you go to Bama and FSWho?

Much respect for going back and digging this up rather than starting a new one🤣
My guess is Chip gets out of LA as fast as he can
You should put all noles on ignore. Especially one dumb enough to use it in their name.
Why would you put f$u with uga and bama as a goal he should aspire to? I mean, I agree with you, but beating bama and uga is an accomplishment. f$u lost to Jacksonville state.
Looks as if Oregon will go in another direction. Can't remember the last time Oregon hired a defensive coach to run their program.REPORT: Oregon has asked UCLA permission to speak with Chip Kelly

Oregon already decided.
