You’ve probably mentioned it in another thread. Obviously a Bama fan. Why the interest in Florida? Why so knowledgeable and favorable toward Mullen? sadgator is curious? You are an interesting ally with regards to football.

Before I take all that gleefully, tell me, were you one of the Bama fans that was saying, "oh, Coach McElwain is a damn good coach and you Gator fans will be pleasantly fine with him no doubt" when he was hired? Because there were Bammers saying that at the time because he coached at Bama for 4 years. Yet the Bama offense got statistically better after he left, no, lol.Always been a fan of high-paced offenses. Love Saban's defenses but have always wished Bama could have an efficient passing offense. We'd had hiccups where we did for a season or two, but we have been mostly 'three yards and a cloud of dust' on offense. Having said that, really looking forward to seeing what Tua can do and hope Nick doesn't keep the handcuffs on him too much.
Mullen is a good offensive coach and I think you'll be happy with the product he puts on the field. It's really hard to appreciate how little he had to work with at Miss State, his best players typically came from in-state JUCOs. Yet he competed against Bama, LSU and aubarn every year and won 8 a year.
Have never been a huge Florida fan but will be more interested in them now that Mullen is there.
Cool. sadgator respects Bama, but does not hate them. Hated Kiffin though.Always been a fan of high-paced offenses.

Well, to be fair, we were humming under McElwain the first half of his first season in 2015 when we had Will Grier.......and then it all collapsed.......lol.Yep, I was one of those Bama fans. And as soon as I heard he hired Nuss as his OC, I asked why?!?
The offense got better because of AJ McCarron. He was a wreck when McElwain started working with him in 2010, actually he stunk against Florida in 2010, which prompted the infamous "Settle the F Down!" tirade from Saban as he came off the field after an INT.
AJ took over as starter in 2011, and by midseason, he was starting to come into his own. Nuss inherited the coached-up version of AJ from McElwain. McElwain did a great job with McElroy as well, in 2008 he couldn't even start, by 2010 he was competing 70% of his passes and was one of the most efficient QBs in the nation. McElwain ran our offense to a tee, he did almost as good of a job as Kiffin did, and he was actually more consistent in his playcalling.
Having said ALL of that.....McElwain clearly stunk it up at Florida. I suspect he just wasn't ready for the prime time yet, which is why I said in another thread it will be interesting to see where he is in his career in 10 years.
At the end of the day, you guys ended up with Dan Mullen, who is a better coach and you're in a better position.

lmfao...Am convinced that @sadgator picked his name after reading Insta's posts.
Please. Everybody here knows the answer to that...
I guess living in Alabama for so long, and growing up with the Florida-Bama SEC title games, and the way Bama has built a program and dominated, I enjoy Bama and (some) of their fans.
I'm pretty sure Matches and I would have a good time grilling out and watching football.
It's nice to talk to a Bama fan that doesn't think we have to earn being their rival. We are not rivals, outside of meeting for the most combined SEC Championship games (including the first).
You would be amazed how many Bammer fans out here in Arizona feel the need to tell me without any prompting, that we need to build ourselves up to be relevant in their eyes once they see my Gator cap. I respect Alabama for creating the juggernaut of a program, however there was a time before Saban where they were several notches below us. We could have easily won at least three more titles under Spurrier if Florida State wasn't as strong in the 90s. Alabama is great for sure, but Auburn is not the same threat that Florida State was in Spurriers day. Heck the freaking steroid Huskers were a threat back then too.
I would argue that the 90s had double the amount of viable contenders as today. This is no shot at Saban or Alabama either, it's more of a testament to the declining State of Tennessee, Florida, Nebraska, Michigan, Miami and Texas, or Penn State's football programs.
Heck Florida State had an amazing run of like 13 years where they didn't finish outside of the top 5 in either major poll.
Alabama has arguably the greatest run in history right now. 5 titles in 9 years, four straight playoff appearences, three straight title game appearences. I can't wait to see if Mullen has the chops to bring it all down.
I wouldn't bet against Alabama under Saban, until I see somebody who can consistently solve that riddle. The answer remains.Bandwagon sidewalker fans are the worst. As you said Bama is on a great run right now, so we attract our fair share of idiot fans.
I will be very interested to see what Mullen's ceiling is at Florida. I think he can contend for the East and I think he can get to the SECCG.
Can he make the Playoffs or NC game? That remains to be seen and it will be interesting to find out.
Lol...believe it or not, it was Zook....Am convinced that @sadgator picked his name after reading Insta's posts.

That riddle might be explained with their next NCAA probation... -----

I thought Auburn owned the title of most probation ever?The Red-turds have football (and the SEC record for NCAA cheating).
The kensucky mildcats have basketball (and the SEC record for NCAA cheating).
While UF is the ONLY school in D1 to have both titles in the same calendar year and season.
And UF virtually OWNS the SEC All Sports Trophies.
And UF has more total SEC-C's than any other SEC school.
And UF has more Student/athletes to make the SEC Honor Roll than Vandy.
And UF is the only school in D1 to have finished in the Top 10 National All Sports rankings for the last 34 consecutive years,,, but who's counting... ---
I'm not real concerned about what any other school's fans think about UF, or my Gators...
Not unless they took it over recently.I thought Auburn owned the title of most probation ever?

You'll soon have poetry written in your honor.And extremely gay. No normal hetero man would make so many references about other men kissing or jerking each other. I guess his preferred lifestyle still isn’t acceptable down there in the swamp so he has to let out all his sexual frustration here.
