No. Not happy about this.Answer the Poll
Very good coach. Good hire but not a splash hire. Miss St is traditionally the worst program in the SEC West. What he did there is very impressive. Needs some good recruiters on staff
At least there will be no yellow teeth and "boy gee golly! Wasn't that cool?"I'm not sure Kelly would have been a grand slam hire. Big splash - Yes! But with baggage, a failed excursion to the NFL, a quirky, surly attitude (somewhat like many on the board are accusing Mullen of having), no connection to the SEC or the South. He may have been a big success, but there were risks. And those who are absolutely sure he would have won big at Florida are just speculating, as am I. Same with Frost. Offensive guru who has done amazing things in 2 years at UCF, but with no experience being CEO of a major P5 program and handling the stress of dealing with the fishbowl that is the University of Florida. Dan Mullen has been here, won rings at UF and has turned a perennial doormat in Starkville into a consistently winning program for 9 years. He knows how to recruit the South and run an SEC program. Safe hire and could very well turn out to be a great hire. Time will tell.
Mullen, while perhaps not the home run hire many Gator fans have been hoping for, is clearly an upgrade over your last two coaching hires, especially the last one.
We have Miss State as our permanent cross division opponent, and he is 8-1 against us in his tenure. A cynic might say he owes some of his success to UKs ineptitude, but he’s probably reached his ceiling at State, and is ready for the challenge.
While this change gives me a glimmer of hope that State might slink back to UKs level, I now wonder when or if I’ll ever live to see another UK win over the Gators.

I'm happy. The guy wanted to be here and it didn't take a flight of all administration plus the kitchen sink to get him here.
He's basically maxed out at State. I can't remember the thread but I saw someone say he hasn't truly done more with less because he has had top 25 classes. They are to ignorant to realize recruiting top 24 classes at a program that has less is a major accomplishment. Plus he has had a hand in tutoring QB's such as Alex Smith, Tim Tebow, Dak Prescott, and did a good job developing Fitzgerald.
He won't be losing to the Missouri's of the world having Fla prep talent.
Exactly what I thought...and they need to give him money so that he can hire a great staff.Very good coach. Good hire but not a splash hire. Miss St is traditionally the worst program in the SEC West. What he did there is very impressive. Needs some good recruiters on staff
