I am serious this time: I am asking the question in frank, “what is best for the GATORS?”-fashion now.
And, y’all may be surprised to hear, I am NOT so sure I can come down in the affirmative at this time.
In my view, it comes to this:
Has he lost the locker room?
Has Mullen lost the TEAM?
There are signs that he has—and IF he has, then that’s likely that.
But is it all so simple and straight forward? Because, if we fire him, who do we replace him with? And we damn well better get THAT right!
But the fact remains, in the end: that choice means a long, slow road back, where things likely get WORSE before they get better, no matter what.
We’re gonna need better recruiting IMMEDIATELY, regardless...and as for “better defense”, well, we are ALL fearful that today’s “performance” indicates that
(1) Mullen hasn’t got a handle on turning THAT ONE around either, and
(2) He MAY have lost at least THAT portion of the locker room, anyway—which may be the most damning reason of ALL to make a change at the top.
But, as I’ve noted elsewhere: maybe “the top”, in this case, isn’t “high enough”: Perhaps it is time to make a clean sweep, and replace the AD as well!
What do you think, my Gator brothers?
