    No but those other coaching staffs are giving those players a reason to succeed. Ours aren't. Attitude reflects leadership.

    Cannot locate the tweet but many of our former players are doing well elsewhere.

    Not good as anyone can tell you. I’m just saying nobody likes what you said before because you were implying that he is better than other players. I’m saying he’s not, we just have a dumb coach playing him over better players for some other reason.

    A few of them, but most don't achieve anything special. ETN has played 2 games one vs UK rushed 19 times for 79 yards zero TDs, and vs Tennessee technical college where he rush 5 times for 78 yards and zero TD's.

    Princely has played 3 games against HS teams and has 5 tackles and 1 sack.

    Ryland-Powell has done well at VT.

    A couple other guys done ok like Donovan McMillan is doing real well so far 32 tackles , 1 FF and 1 INT. In 3 games at Pitt.

    Richie Leonard plays for FSU and was seen blocking his own teammate in week 1.

    Hopper did well but he's in the league now.

    Otherwise who else were you referring to?

    I loved here Desmond Howard saying “ At Florida they’ve allowed Low expectations”.
    He’s 100% correct as most of fan base, writers, and administration allowed it to be ok for Billy to not win. So many on here disagreed with those of us that said Billy should win year 1, not acceptable mindset wise to think it takes 3 years to win, and so many allowed Mullen to be blamed.

    Thank goodness we had AR or we lose 8 that first year.

    Interesting now 3 years later nobody disagreeing. Gotta hire a guy that believes winning can happen immediately, not 3 years down the road.

    Why wouldn’t they? Billy doesn’t develop and doesn’t play the best guys.

    He did not replace our guys that transferred.

    It’s taken most of the guys two or three years to get their shit together so there’s no hard rule on any of it

    Not at any other schools. Plentywin early. Our fan base accepted losing and blaming Mullen and that’s a fact.

    That’s because that’s partially true. Mullen did leave a pile of shit and it would not be expected like Debore to pick up Alabama and win immediately. Yeah he should’ve got seven or eight wins last year and Shooty coaching attributed to that.

    So name a coach who is at another school that is a #4 hire in 10-12 yrs and won immediately. Meaning 8-9 wins in season 1 playing in the sec or b10

    Alabama went thru 4 coaches in 10 years, 1 never having even coaching a game before NS shattered the model over a 16yr span. Thing will even out with the changes to the college model.

    It doesnt help us currently if we allow the AD to use his time tested system of evaluation to make the next hire

    It happens but definitely not the norm. Some take a while from a disaster of a program which we are.

    Neither was ours. That’s what I’m saying so many people gave excuse after excuse after excuse and with that mindset, this is what happens

    A losing season at Florida is a dumpster fire.

    The last 2 years have been that. TG Dan left us AR and several others or 6-6 would have never happened

    Well that should have been a penalty. Did the refs call it?
