I predict the team will pick up Roper’s offense in the next twoweeks. The lights will come on for everyone, including Jeff Driskell.

We’ll beat Georgia because Gurley still won’t be re-instated. We willlose to the semis. Muschamp will take us to the Gator Bowl wherewe’ll beat a Big 10 patsy.

And, Muschamp will have learned what it takes to be a decent headcoach. He’ll learn it just like the semi boy Jimbo Fisher has.

We’ll be the two titans of college football. Mississippi will fadeaway as the center of the college football universe.

Nick Satan will continue to fade in glory. Auburn will face anotherNCAA cheating scandal.


We will be complaining about how difficult it is to get seats in Atlanta.

Long live Will Muschamp!  Go Gators!!!  Woohoo!!!

I have to admit, Jeff Barlis really does have a point. And I rememberwhat Oliver was saying, the crankiness from some when SOS didn'tdeliver an NC every year. Boy, we'd take those Spurrier "down years"in a heartbeat now, wouldn't we? :-)

I was very much a Muschamp supporter but it's appearing to me more andmore that perhaps he really just isn't the right guy. I hoped thatthe friendship and obvious mutual respect between he and Spurrier wasa sign that even SOS thought he was good for the program.

I don't think Muschamp has "dismantled" the program. I see plenty ofsigns that we have talent on the field. But maybe Coach Boom's nevergoing to be better than a DC.

What really irritates me is all the people calling for Foley'sfiring. Are they crazy? He is easily the best AD in the country andwhat he has done with all the sports has given UF fans the ability tobrag as the #EverythingSchool. I love the fact that all the othersports are contenders (and winners) of championships every year.Foley does seem to have a problem getting the right football coach,but I would argue the two toughest athletic jobs in the country tohire for are HC of football and men's basketball. He certainly foundus a shining star in hoops.

    I'm not particularly fond of Neil or his site.  I don't think he's
    a particularly good writer and really brings nothing new to the
    table (unlike Adam Silverstein of Only Gators and Andy Hutchins of
    Alligator Army).  Is your "disagreement" in the comments?

        he apparently didnt like me disagreeing with him.  Is the
        program where it should be?  No.. but its not "crippled" either.

                  Dan Mullen: hire/fire websites not ‘good for anybody’

                Texas A&M v Mississippi State

                Thanks to *Dan Mullen*‘s success at Mississippi State
                in 2014 as well as his ties to Florida, and given the
                Gators struggles the past two seasons under *Will
                Muschamp*, a pair of website — /HireDanMullen.com/
                <http://www.hiredanmullen.com/> and /WeWantDan.com/
                <http://www.wewantdan.com/> — were recently launched
                urging the Gators to poach the former UF offensive
                coordinator from their SEC rivals.

                The man who the websites are centered on, however,
                isn’t impressed.  At all.

                In fact, during a radio interview Wednesday, Mullen
                ripped the concept
                
<http://abc11.com/sports/dan-mullen-fans-taking-it-too-far/353187/>
                of both “Hire(CoachX).com” and “Fire(CoachX).com”
                websites, calling them an “insult” to everyone involved.

                    /“It’s really an insult to coaches and to players
                    at institutions. Whether they’re putting websites
                    out to hire you or fire you or do all these
                    different things, I don’t think that does any good
                    for anybody. …/

                    /“At the end of every season, there are coaching
                    changes, but people put so much in. You’re so
                    committed, yourself, your family, your team,
                    everybody’s so committed, that I think it’s
                    insulting to the job everybody does./

                    /“I know there are fans that like that stuff. I
                    don’t think that stuff is great. People can have
                    their opinions and call in on shows, but to take
                    it that far, I don’t think it’s good for anybody
                    on either side of the fence.”/

                That said, Mullen will likely be at or near the top of
                the list for UF athletic director *Jeremy Foley*
                if/when Muschamp is dismissed.  As should be expected,
                Mullen proclaimed his love for his current program.

                “One, both my kids are born here. I love Mississippi
                State. I’ve loved being here. I love the community. I
                love the state,” Mullen said during the interview. “I
                have a great administration. They’ve given us what we
                need to build a successful program. I think we’ve
                built that program. We love being here. That’s No. 1.”

                It should be noted that, just last season, Mullen was
                in a somewhat similar position to Muschamp. While the
                Bulldogs were 36-28 overall and had qualified for bowl
                games four straight seasons, they were still just
                16-24 in SEC play in Mullen’s first five seasons in
                Starkville.

                That subpar conference mark had some calling for
                Mullen’s head last year, a fact that the coach openly
                acknowledged.

                “I know there was a website here at Mississippi State
                to fire Dan Mullen last year,” the sixth-year coach
                said. “Now, there’s probably one to keep me here.”

                Entering Week 8, the MSU Bulldogs are ranked No. 1 in
                the country for the first time in the history of the
                /Associated Press/ poll.
