Florida 🐊 fires Dan Mullen..Hires Billy Napier
- Thread starter Poolside Knight
- Start date
Not a surprise......the grass is not always greener with some coaches. I'm sure Willy the bus driver Taggart would make himself available for another payday. I wonder if they go after the cookie monster Ed Orgeron?
Looks like Mullins still gets a payday. Mullen had just signed a five-year contract extension last summer. The Gators will pay Mullen a $12 million buyout spread over seven installments, with a $6 million payout coming within 30 days. Mullen will then get $1 million every July 15 through 2027.
Shocking. Was in a ny6 bowl three years in a row. Hope they know what they’re doing.
I hope gus is in “poach recruits” mode
I don’t get it. I don’t get the Ed Orgeron firing or this one, seems too quick. The “what have you done for me lately” mob is in full effect in CFB these days. But damn, they made 3 NY6 bowls in a row and won the SEC East last year? Can’t have one down/rebuilding year anymore I guess….And who out there can they go get?
And I thought our fans were knee jerky…

He is a pretty good gameday coach most of the time but has always struggled recruiting then this season it seems something set off the locker room to give up on him
Agreed. Literally one down year and you're out is what it seems. But maybe there's things we don't know about
Orgeron was fired because girls were getting raped at a record pace by his players and he was hiding it.
Yes, thats sweet 6 million up front and than a 1 million per year until 2027 to do nothing.
Frost didn't take it....why would Fickell take it? He could have had the USC job.
Their fans want SEC championships and CFI spots. Not that hard to figure out
I think I get it now with our rival game coming up... Georgia has won 4 out of the last 5 games.
Our fans would be livid if we lost 4 out of the last 5 times to USF at this point in our program.

Yup, I think that really is the point. Kirby Smart is not going anywhere, monster recruiter right now. They are poised to make an Alabama/Saban type run for SEC East division. Either UF tries to pull something off now, or in 10 years Georgia wins the division 8 out of 10 timesI think I get it now with our rival game coming up... Georgia has won 4 out of the last 5 games.

It’s been in news and message boards for over a year. I’m surprised he lasted this long. Winning cures everything. They aren’t winning anymore.
Opportunity knocks:
ESPN 300 athlete Isaiah Bond decommitted from Florida on Monday, giving the Gators five total decommitments since October 20 and second since Dan Mullen was fired.

Will UCF be Recruiting Florida's Orlando Commitments?
Dan Mullen is out at Florida, and that means UCF has a chance to sign some of its Central Florida recruits.
I agree. They're "YOU'RE FIRED" happy. Can build a program without keeping the coach in for a long enough term.
A lot of money to finish 2/3 in big 10 east every year
