    He also won 2 more than Napier has won against Kentucky...

    Agreed. The players didnt quit and hung tough, but i really did not see any extra effort from coaching.

    Show me something.

    At one point, our 450lber hit Davis at the line and guess who moved backwards? That summarizes this game

    It was ugly because of where we lost, in the Swamp. It wasn't even close. That was the game where I said AR isn't 3rd round worthy. 14/35 for 143 yds 2 picks (1 was a game-sealing pick 6) compared to Mertz 25/30 for 240 2 TDs and 1 pick.

    Vegas predicted 5-7 mainly based on last season and qb questions. Most Gators predicted 6 wins or better. 5-7 would be a coaching failure in my book.

    Only 1 turnover by the defense in 5 games.
    Leary was 9/20 for 69yds today.
    Still don’t understand why #7 is not the first RB on the field.
    Multiple special team bleep ups, again.
    UF has lost 15 of their last 17 road games.

    And what if they play Bama for the SEC championship and a berth to the CFP? Not likely but they are more likely to make that scenario happen than we have winning more than half our games.

    Lack of turnovers forced has been frustrating. Feels like we have no chance to change momentum.

    So the answer to the question is yes.

    He also was the first UF coach to lose to Uk in what, 23 years?

    This has meaning.

    lol come on man, you're reaching. If you're trying to make an argument that Napier is a better coach than Mullen, you'll have to make it to someone else. I don't think it's close on who the better coach is between the two.

    That’s exactly right. Consistently being inconsistent in areas where consistency should be the easy first step.

    It is the most troubling thing that I see. How can you not get up for a Kentucky game at Kentucky when you haven’t beaten them in a while and you just played like crap against Charlotte?

    It is miserable football and it is miserable to watch it.

    My bad. I misread. Guess I'm just used to posters rationalizing the season and using the 5-7 Vegas prediction as a base.

    Oh, so simpleminded.

    Mullen went wake boarding, and didn't recruit. Well, unless it was "recruiting season" whenever that is. That is well documented.

    But... maybe the new Kentucky isn't the old Kentucky.

    Think.

    The new Kentucky isn't the old Kentucky. You're right. But that doesn't mean we should get our asses handed to us before the end of the 1st half.

    He obviously recruited during the season. Simple minded fans couldn't understand he didn't want to talk recruiting, not that he doesn't recruit. It's all good though, the fact you think recruiting is all that a coach needs to do says it all. This guy scored 1 TD against Charlotte. In your words "think."
