- Florida fired Dan Mullen Sunday after another disappointing loss on the road which added to a disappointing season in Gainesville. Florida A.D Scott Stricklin spoke to the media after the decision was made and began looking forward to a coaching search, but on Late Kick Live Ep 207 Josh Pate took some time to look back on the Dan Mullen era at Florida and talk about where things went wrong. Where do you think the situation began to come undone in Gainesville? Was it the loss to LSU last season as a 24pt favorite? What about the bowl disaster against Oklahoma? Did Dan Mullen ever get back in the swing of things after not being able to land an NFL job?

He's a good coach but you got to be a great coach to succeed in the SEC at a school like Florida. His flaws in recruiting is what keeping him from being a great coach. A open job I think that would fit Mullen's style better is Virginia Tech. He probably won't have a problem in getting another job.
Even at Virginia Tech, he will be expected to recruit well. They may tolerate 4 loss seasons, but there has to be talent found. He's just bull headed thinking he can take 3 stars nobody wants and make them something and when that turns south hit the transfer portal.
@@walker1984 can't really disagree with that because recruiting is a big part of the college game. A Virginia Tech fan on TH-cam Top Billin is who persuaded me that Mullin would fit there. Check his stuff out.
He got Miss St to a #1 ranking at some point and could’ve had 3 straight 10 win seasons @ Florida if covid didn’t kill 2 game last season. Recruiting hasn’t been great this season but last season wasn’t bad by any means. Times have changed. If you don’t win and win now you’re gone. This is a stupid firing IMO. Who else is Florida gonna get that’s rlly that much of an upgrade?
@@walker1984 Virginia Tech is one of those demanding types of ACC teams, they are basically on the same level as South Carolina. You can't rely on the transfer portal and lightning-speed player development all the time. Sometimes you need a 4-5 star juggernaut to come in straight out of high school and help you guys out.
He had some good years at Mississippi state
The shoe throw ended it all
I believe Florida will be a lot better because of it. The ol ball Coach is proof Florida can get it done in the SEC period
@Matthew Walker it's crazy man. I thought Flordia was going in the right direction too
I always wondered why he left MSU. He was already coaching in the SEC for a university that had more patience for him.
More patience or lower expectations?
@@joeg4707 nice point. Very well could have been both. I think if he had stayed at MSU, he might have at least been fighting for a SEC West division title. However, as a Longhorn fan, I’ve got bigger problems 🤣🤘.
@@miketemple7686 Florida and Texas both should be doing better. I think UF has had more success recently than the Longhorns but similar situations at flagship universities with resources, recruiting bases and high expectations. UT's move to the SEC will he interesting. I wonder if Baylor's Aranda would be a good fit for the Gators or if he even wants to leave Waco?
I met him, He is a Good Guy.. he got a Bad break, things were a bit out of hand in 2021. He will rebound eventually
Hey JP. How are you doing?
The team Dan left at MSU in 2018 will always be such a big what if. One of the best defenses in the country and an offense perfectly built for his system. Turned into a painful to watch mess with Joe Moorhead. Dan probably goes 11-1 with that roster
2 years of mistakes continue to haunt Florida
Dan is a good coach for a bottom 6 team of a conference where he can recruit lazy and put together a team that wins 5-8 games a year and the fan base is pleased with that. I doubt he ever realizes that he needs to recruit better and staff with die hard recruiters.
I really think if he had fired Grantham after 2020 season, which would've been a championship team if they had played average defense, his seat would've been lukewarm right now. His recruiting issues would need to be addressed, and I still want AR over Emory, just to get experience before next season, but Dan just couldn't get out of his own way.
Jesus loves you
Need to go to Bama and.learned what goes into recruiting and organization from Saban on his ass everyday,I think Saban respects him from his offence knowledge and you don't have to be buddies,just do your job and he want be facing no media question everyday,and Tuscaloosa a great family town with good school system for his kids.learn something's and move on up.will have a good group of offence players returning and a very good QB to start with.not kidding about this.Roll tide.
Yet Frost @ Nebraska is doing a good job 🤣😂
Throw them shoes.
He sealed his firing with Todd Grantham as his defensive coordinator and every UGA fan knew that! He should "Always be Recruiting!"
I did not expect Florida to do that this season...
I 100% expected it. Mullen was 29-6, winning with McElwain's players. Then 2-9 against Power 5 opponents in Last 11 and posted the worst SEC record (2-6) at Florida since 1979. Note, when Spurrier was at Florida for 12 seasons his worst SEC record was 6-2 (and that only happened twice).
Aboutdamn time
Florida did what we expected clemson to do. The difference is clemson is in such a weak conference their record doesn’t reflect their dumpster fire. It’s coming tho. Can’t wait to see them take the next step toward imploding next season.
You want dabo fired ?
Do you realize Dabo built up Clemson with lower caliber talent? Smh guarantee you Florida will get their 3rd/4th choice
He’s still a good coach to me but Florida wasn’t a good fit I hate to say still a lot of talent on that roster
He didn't recruit well enough to compete in a volatile SEC. Eventually the bottom would completely fall out constantly landing in the 20-30 range in recruiting. Had we kept him, next year would probably be much of the same with Kentucky, Georgia and LSU as possible losses.
@@walker1984 bruh his two top ten classes is still on this roster a lot of talent on the roster just not proven
@@leekgaming3557 Those two top 10 classes had defections and grade issues. They ended up actually being in the 20s, not top 10.
Love the Jim Ross reference
If they hire Billy Napier a small college coach dont know Kerwin Bell would love to come back to Florida!!!!!!🐊🏈
It’s not recruiting it’s a failure to understand the importance of defense
Just, please no Lane Train and his 38th ranked recruiting class.
LMAO LOOK HOW THAT TURNED OUT 😂😂😂😂😂
He’s a good OC but a head coach in the SEC eh no. I would like to see him be hired as OC at auburn for next season, would be interesting,
No, don't let that moron anywhere near auburn after the idiotic comments he's made in the past. Anyone who says banning msu cowbells (artificial noise makers) is just like having auburn oak trees vandalized/poisoned should never be allowed our program.
@@jml5100 I just want to win man, the past is the past while I agree that’s ridiculous and no where near the same, but I mean if he’s a good OC he’s a good OC and he has a good track record at that position. Idk I just personally see him as a good fit for us over Bobo, dudes gotta go, but I’m curious to who you would like to see take over at OC for us next year?
@@slimmdusty8809 i don't have a particular name in mind, but someone who is willing to learn and adapt. Mullen would bring more of the awful same that Gus brought. Gus had one way of doing things and when it didn't work out he just became a stick in the mud. Gus had a great record for a while, but was too stubborn or lazy to adapt. That's a big part of the reason mullen got fired too and I don't want that attitude at auburn. So a humble and adaptable person. Whoever that might be.
But yes, Bobo is flat out incompetent. You don't ask your backup qb to pass the ball on 4th and 1 from your own 35 when you have tank running over everyone and you already have the lead so don't even need to go for it anyway.
You have to be careful for what you wish for...... Gaturds....
He is going to be a OC somewhere
At Bama.
The only coach that can fill Florida is Lane Kiffin - he’s exactly like Spurrier and Urban Meyer and we’ve only had good success with those kind of coaches tbh. If we don’t get Kiffin I would love Urban Meyer - I don’t care how he left us. We need him to restore balance in the Gators. He was the one who left us in shambles he should be the one to fix it for us. Kinda a good narrative too, and it’ll be a good way to redeem his name.
Urbans not coming back to fix the mess he made 😂
Sad. Was hoping for a decade with Mullen 🤣
Maybe UMass..no expectations of anything.. just be something..
LSUs next OC?
Football is more about the Jimmy’s and the Joes than the X’s and O’s….Dan Mullen is probably good at the former but bad at the latter.
Transfer portal overload…
His team quit on him
Mullen to FIU. 😁
UT can hire him when they fire Sark.
*DAN MULLEN TO PENN STATE*
He wanted out anyways….. ijs
His arrogance got in his way. Good mind for football but his delivery is out of date.
Where are y’all Florida dan fans at who were all over Josh for saying Kirby was a better coach and that y’all would take Mullen over smart. Yeahhhhhh don’t you look stupid now😂😂😂
Everyone can make mistakes.🤷♂️
@@TotallyCompton2023 mistakes don’t have to be made in arrogance 🤦🏻
@@drewrowell Well now Florida's top priority is finding a coach that can recruit at the level of Smart and Sadan. Or at least in the top 5. I will give credit to Smart,he has shown if you have a lot of talent,you can blow through the east. So I hope we get a coach that will recruit on that level. And we won't have a talent difference between UF and UGA.
@@TotallyCompton2023 it’s only fair to ask for that standard
@@drewrowell That is what UF is looking for. This is today's college football. Florida if it ever got all cylinders firing,watch out....especially recruiting that Florida talent. Yeah UGA would be sweating.
But we will have to see who gets hired.
Dan Mullen chances of winning a championship was 2019 , 2020 the offense was elite just couldn’t capitalize on defense and sometimes Kyle trask would always throw an interception that would change the game. I just hope the next coach can recruit well cause all the best players come from Florida anyways 💯
Mullen overrated HIMSELF. he has the arrogance of nick Saban with none of the titles to back out up.
We knew it was coming! He's not head-coach material. He's way too goofy. 🤡🤓🤪
You act like goofy coaches haven’t won natties lol…
Having to fire Mullen is a depressing thing.. everybody is sad about it ..but he left us no choice.. it's not our fault ..signed Gator Nation.🐊
Dan Mullen isn’t overrated. I’ll tell ya who is overrated. Jim Harbaugh. He’s the most overrated college football coach.
Bring in Deion Sanders
All I heard from the Gator faithful was 'what an elite team' the gators were gonna be in 2021. I took a major scolding from an irate Gator because I said they'd never make it past Georgia! They didn't disappoint! The Gators will be junk for at least 4 years.....
Don't know what UF fans you were talking too. No one said they would be a elite team. Also didn't think we would as a program jump off a cliff and be second to last in the SEC.
No the turn around will start right away. Changing the culture,recruiting rankings and showing we belong to begin with 2nd in the east again. This is until this new head coach gets his recruiting classes coming in after the next two years. Recruiting I feel will change a lot at Florida.
Dan Mullen has NO BUSINESS being a Head Coach...in any conference. He is and always will be a glorified position coach.
Clearly he's not an elite recruiter but it's a dumb take to say he's incapable of being a head coach. He did well at Miss State and had three solid years at Florida (with McElwain's players). If he has a really good d-coordinator and a staff that recruits really well, he can have some success. Unfortunately, he was unable to find sustained success in Gainesville where the expectations are much higher than in Starkville.
@@joeg4707 I don’t need to say anything, REALITY has given us PLENTY examples as to why he is what I said he is! I mean, WINS and LOSSES are still a thing right?!
@@obsidian00 He wasn't a good fit for Florida's long-term success. He was 34-15--and 69-46 at Miss State--so to say he can't coach anywhere is a dumb take.
