AUFlyer99 647 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 The Gators hate all things Urban Meyer (with good reason). Dan Mullen is somewhere near the top of that list. I'd hazard a guess that if Mullen was interested they'd consider him. At least before he dropped a steamer in the Egg Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,638 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Look at Mullen's overall record at MSU. Nothing to brag about and next year when this incredibly senior-heavy team has to rebuild he'll have State right back at the bottom of the SEC West. Mullen is NOT what Florida is looking for.

I'm guessing most of the defensive coaches will be offered spots on his staff. Some may decide to go with boom wherever he goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The record isn't that bad when you consider where Colorado St was when he took them over. true, I just hoped (for my sister-in-law since she's a Florida fan) that they would have chosen a more proven coach. He has a very small sample size as a head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jojo1515 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 This seems just like the Tennessee hiring Butch Jones deal. Everyone will say how great he will do now that he is at Florida, and 3 years down the road they will still be fighting to go 6-6. Terrible hire IMO.

Auburnfan91 1,407 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Leverage works again for an underpaid coach in demand....another couple years and Freeze will be making Saban money. PS...nobody mentioning John Gruden for the job? I'm sorry but Freeze is overpaid. He hasn't won anything and he's making more than coaches that have won championships. That's ridiculous. Kevin Sumlin is also overpaid to not win anything. Freeze's best record is 9-3 so far in 2014. Houston Nutt accomplished that. Dan Mullen is a better coach than Hugh Freeze. He just doesn't have the resources to recruit like other teams in the SEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Rogers < The REC for sure By the way, I agree with you on Freeze in terms of coaching. Hell, Sandra Bullock taught him everything he knows. And from where I see it, I don't get the sense that he has the magnetic personality to be a recruiting wizard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, Sandra Bullock taught him everything he knows. And from where I see it, I don't get the sense that he has the magnetic personality to be a recruiting wizard. Yeah. I'm not saying Freeze isn't a good coach but he's definitely not worth more than some of the other coaches in the SEC. When I threw out the Houston Nutt comparison, I'm not saying Freeze will start having losing seasons like Nutt did but I'm just pointing out that Nutt was able to get Ole Miss to 9 wins also. That's not really that impressive imo. That's likely the best Hugh Freeze will be able to do at Ole Miss is 9-3, maybe 10-3 if they win their bowl game.

PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Conflicting reports, but Foley is on the Gator plane home from Ft. Collins. Confirmed McElwain isn't with him. Colorado State put some serious handcuffs on him. $7.5 Million buyout. Wow.

ausburn 159 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 http://coachingsearch.com/coaching-search-ticker Florida: Athletic director Jeremy Foley returned to Gainesville on Wednesday, and multiple reports indicate Colorado State head coach Jim McElwain’s buyout remains an issue between the sides. According to the Orlando Sentinel, CSU has not budged on the $7.5 million cost of the buyout. Florida's official football Twitter account posted, "We’ve had very productive conversations with Coach McElwain and his wife Karen and those continue."

Grinder 39 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 CSU shouldn't budge on that. Buyouts work both ways. You know if he was fired he would demand every penny that was owed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbomb 193 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I have heard that unless there is some movement on buyout UF will look elsewhere. UF was hoping to offer a home and away and reduce the buyout to 3 million. CSU has balked at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an awful big risk to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
