Twitter Updates 2024

I hope the Gators find a way to get all their players, and their moms and dads, new phone NUMBERS after they sign to play with the Gators... If they're new phones maybe the can have them with built in numbers already blocked like numbers from other coaches...

Not sure it's doable, but it would be nice. That in the tweet above is straight up tampering.

 

I suggest you watch the first half of the UF/Uga game again where they had better talent than us nearly everywhere. Mullen schemed the Dawgs embarrassingly over and over and over. Kirby saw wheel routes everywhere and couldnt do squat. That was a game where a coach called a great game and the game plan was a masterpiece.

 

He did fine here until he gave up after failing to land an NFL job.

 

Spends more on his mom’s haircut.

 

Reread…

Culture Shock, Part I: inside the Florida Gators' implosion under Dan Mullen | In All Kinds of Weather

 

Seems the good ones left first and we were left with the lesser ones for the most part. Maybe Mullen was the worst of the worst I guess but Hev and Grantham were the worst in my opinion.

 

TommyVee thanks for posting the article. Didn’t see it when first published in 08/23. What a damning article on Mullen, Grantham, and Hevesy. So very sad what the players had to endure. Glad those coaches are gone. Unfortunately, another hill for for this current staff to overcome.

 

I was referring to Hevesy.

 

Amazing how DM went from a good coach to chit when he got to UF. Coincidence? I think not. UF is a coach killer now. Even Urban couldn't make it ten years. With 2 nat champs under his belt. Alum and mega successful SOS couldn't make it past 12 years. Crazy that that is the longest tenure of any coach ever at UF.

 

His mom's or his haircut...likely use the same bowl.

 

Urbs was mostly his own undoing. It’s a stressful job but so is any major job.

 

"Re-read" what, tommyvee? I don't know what you're talking about. You're imply that I misread something that I never read in the first place? I was also not referencing that article you posted.

This all started when I said Hevesy was not Mullen's worst assistant coach... that was my opinion BASED solely on my own observations, so... I will not change my opinion because you want me to read a link that I never read in the first place. Hence, no NEED for me the "re-read" anything.

Having said that... maybe I will take a look at someone else's observations... written in that link.

Edited: I knew about Hevesy being a POS for a long time. I was judging him solely on his coaching, not his POS personality.

 

Agree. Still not sure how he was decent to good as a head coach at Moo U but sucked here in that capacity. The O under him both as an assistant and head coach was only surpassed by SOS's O's. I miss it.

 

Apparently other jobs in CFB aren't so stressful as to preclude the successful head coaches from staying longer than 12 years though. Booby, Satan, Dooley come to mind off the top of my head but there have been many others. I imagine Shart will be there more than 12 years. I think Richt was also.

 

There is a different skill set to being a head coach and an offensive coordinator. They don’t overlap as much as you can. An offensive coordinator can be everyone’s friend a head coach lays down the law.

 

That link Tommy posted is eye-opening. I highly suggest you click on it Rick, if you haven’t already. Hevesy was poison in more ways than we could see on the field. I won’t try and sort out who was the most toxic - Hev or Todd - but the two of them were likely Mullen’s worst assistants

 

Okay, his personal attitude towards players is a whole other ballgame... gotcha. I separated that from his actual coaching results. He, personally, is a douche for sure.

Thanks, Skink. By the way I was going to read that link.. but I already read one a while ago his nasty attitude towards his players... I was speaking strictly about his on field coaching which was bad, but not as bad as some of the other "winners" Mullen hired.

 

That’s a handful in the thousands of coaches that there are

 

He's just a POS!

 

You absolutely have a point. I'm not sure of the precise underlying reasons (quite a few I expect), but some less than supportive administrative decisions and policies seem likely to have played a significant role in The HBC's departure. An increasingly entitled segment of the fanbase (today's disappointed bandwagon jumpers?) that whined incessantly about the futility of ten-win seasons and going to major bowl games that didn't end in championships didn't help much either. That was long ago now, but the long-term consequences are still quite fresh and there are clearly some lessons that remain unlearned.
