AU REVOIR, DAN

I imagine this will be as much of a distraction to the Gators as Pelini’s hiring was to LSU last year. No biggie.

Still, Mississippi State? Something doesn’t seem right about “Carroll right”, “Carroll left”, “Carroll up the middle” and “bomb to Brandon McRae”

One step closer to Tebow going pro…

Sigh.

If this isn’t an example of going from the penthouse to the outhouse, it is close.

Carroll transferred to FIU today. We dont have the personnel for this offense. This could be worse than Croom.

Damn. I mean I guess I’m happy for Dan…but damn. I wonder if that means Tebow goes to the NFL next year. If Dan leaves before the NCG, then who will call the plays? Baby seal notwithstanding, this is a huge distraction. I feel the same way I felt when I heard that SOS had left UF.

We just got reverse Croomed.

damn….. Well I guess this was coming some time soon. He HAS to stay through the game. The distraction would be too great.

Back in September, this would have thrilled me, but now (1) since Ole Miss, he has figured playcalling the fuck out, and (2) um, now who’s going to call the plays? Urban? Please not Urban, he of the “fuck it let’s try this, who cares if it’s 4th and 7 on our own 10” tendencies.

word is he is staying on with UF till after the championship game

Dear Coach Strong,

PLEASE STAY!!!!

Thank you,
Gator Nation

…needs more cowbell…

They’re bound to get you,
Cause they got a curfew,
And you go to the Starkville city jail.

Dear Dan,

Thanks for being a better choice than Kevin Wilson and allowing us one less distraction. That’s a 2-coordinator swing for the home team.

Love,
Sooner Nation

Why exactly do we want the coach of a team we play next year to hang around for another month?

Buh bye Dan…these nice men will escort you to your car with a box of your belongings.

Can’t Jeremy get a non-compete clause in these coaching contracts…no accepting jobs in the SEC without an extended waiting period. Didn’t Syracuse want him back?

Anover-caffeinated guy from New Hampshire…ought to go over well in the Magnolia state.

The baby seal looks worried…

THE BABY SEAL SAYS THERE’S NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

@ zzgator -

Folks said the same thing about Pelini last year wrt LSU. Worked out for us…

Paging Mike Sanford. Paging Mike. Sanford.*

*Meyer’s OC at Utah.

Don’t really know why everyone is worried about T-bow going to the NFL, when he’s clearly doing drop down the draft boards like a stone once he finally goes. Do you actually think he’ll get drafted as a quarterback? Please…

Eric Crouch, anyone?

i wouldn’t worry, gator fan

if nothing else, you can pretend it’s 2007 and just go tebow smash the whole game – you don’t even need an OC against a weak big 12 team

:giggle

DrBundy…

Last I checked Pelini didn’t go to an SEC school and LSU didn’t play Nebraska this year.

But other than that, it’s exactly the same.

Meyer always says he has a “list”. Wonder if it includes baby seals.

Incindentally, how about a call to Tony Franklin?

Here’s what distractions think of your baby seal, O.

I’ve had lots of jobs in my day: whale-hunter, seal-clubber, president of the Fox network, and, like most people, yeah, I’ve coached a little SEC Football.

Paging Kerwin Bell, Kerwin Bell. Paging Kerwin Bell…

You Gators don’t need Mullen, just someone that will 1.) pass the ball to Harvin, 2.) run the ball with Harvin, 3.) score touchdowns with Harvin

“This is permitted under NCAA by-laws”
It wasn’t true when the Pascagoula tire salesman said it, how do we know it’s true now?

@ #24

+1 — that would be an excellent call to make.

@25

This has been tried before. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v616/cruzer_442/plays.jpg

@28

Spoiler Alert: it didn’t work.

I’d have been more worried prior to reading smartfootball.com, I say just grab that guy.

Great hire by Miss. St. I think. But this smacks of the 2001 Orange Bowl. FSU-Oklahoma. Richt takes the Georgia job about a week before the game. FSU scores what, 10 points in that game? Don’t think that would happen to UF, but even a slight drop off could be trouble given OU’s offense.

Max? Is that you?

False alarm, different baby seal.

zzgator,

I think DrBundy was referring to Pelini’s leaving before the BCSCG and how everyone said it would be a distraction. Of course, the real difference here is that LSU only had to play OSU, while UF has to play OU (yes, that one is for you TAFKaOSU)…

Tebow steps in as OC. He devises a gameplan that not only leads to a Gator BCS title, but it also cures cancer, creates peace and understanding throughout the Middle East and names the new Auburn head coach. Praise Tebow.

I can’t even type my posting name right. . .even I know you never go full retard.

Actually Silver Britches…I believe that’s the game where f$u ended up with 2 points.

From an “unforced” safety.

@ 32

I’ll get his post out of the way for you, hopefully with less spelling errors and logical fallacies.

Florida is playing an OU team fresh off of four consecutive BCS game losses, including two straight title game losses in ’03 and ’04, the latter one of the ugliest blowouts in BCS history. LSU was playing an Ohio State team off one of the other ugliest blowouts in BCS history, but nonetheless, only “one straight” BCS loss.

No matter what I do, I simply can’t capture the innate TL;DRness of half of TAFKATMB2&%#@ ’s posts.

Fuck you Dan and fuck you Foley for allowing him to go to an SEC school. Get your shit together and learn how to draw up a contract.

This hire is small retribution for Jeremy Foley raiding the MSU coaching ranks over the last decade. Andy (Men’s Tennis) Jackson and Pat McMahon (snicker). Let’s hope Mullen has Andy Jackson type success at MSU. Please….God.

You are correct sir. 13-2 Oklahoma. FSU ran for 27 yards, passed for 274, but punted 10 times and had 3 turnovers. What a craptastic game.

Oh well, point remains the same.

I just got news of this from Doc Sat before coming over here, and this is what I expect:

Tebow graduates early, transfers to MSU as a grad student , and then plays immediately. God shines His Grace upon MSU because his blessings always fall upon the Light That is Tebow, who wins another MNC. Thus, Tebow wins a third Heisman, rejuvenates a program that God has so far forsaken to Hell, and goes down as The OMG, Like-Best-Player- EVER!!! As a result, Kirk Herbstreit and Gary Danielson are so giddy they spend hours cuddling and fighting over the stuffed-Tebow doll they both now so desperately want for Christmas. Please, Please Santa!!

I guess that puts the Chris Petersen rumor to bed, eh?

Word is Mullen will not stick around as OC for the bowl game, terms of MSU taking him was for him to pack his shit and get on the recruiting trail ASAP. So much for it not being a distraction…

@34
HAHA! naming the Auburn head coach. now you’re just being silly.

Let’s see Dan is going from Gainseville to Starkville. So at first he’ll just think he’s in hell. Then when he steps on the field and tries to implement his offensive genius with the collection of stiffs on that roster, he’ll know he is.

@45

Thats just sad and hard to watch, after I hit send I’m taking my monitor and CPU to the shredder to eliminate it from my e-life, then going home and drinking MD 20/20 until my liver explodes.

I’m pretty sure I saw that seal playing in the 2000 Independence Bowl.

Sorry, I had to club that seal. Fuck!

tried to post this earlier via cellphone but TEH CELLULAIR INTERNETS ARE NOT WERK FTW

my biggest complaint here is that they’re taking dan-o instead of the most rev. dr. chuck strong. while i will cry for days when he finally does get his shot, deserved more than most, WTF. miss state goes from one “offensive-minded coach” to another. try defense maybe? anyone?

@51

At MSU defense is not the problem…

Paging Patrick Nix….

Sorry, but “Mullen’d!” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Penthouse to outhouse, indeed. They don’t call it Starkvegas for nutin’.

Poor choice, Dan. Poor choice.

We need pictures of longhorn-castrating Jackie Sherrill in his clown suit … STAT!!!!

Hey, Gator Nation, remember when we took care of a little problem of yours? Cough*[REDACTED]*Cough

Well, it’s time to pay up.

hailstate, +eleventybillion cocktails.

Considering the majority of the Gator Nation wanted Mullen gone just 10 short weeks ago, I’m not too saddened by his departure.

His play calling has aggravated this Gator for a long time, and while he seems to have been “getting it right” for the past 9 games, I think we can thank Urban for shoe’n Dan in the nuts after the Ole’ Miss debacle and taking more of a roll in the offensive game plans and play calling.

So long Dan, and Good Luck….don’t let door hit ya in the ass on the way out of Gainesville. Leave now, we’ll be just fine on Jan 8th.

Enjoy Starkville…“a redneck Hiroshima after a visit from the Enola Gay”.

No way he can stay until the NCG, he needs to assemble a coaching staff and recruiting awaits.

1. - You are what’s wrong with college football fans. Mullen did a great job for us – turned Leak into a National Champion in only year 2, Tebow into a Heisman winner (x2 most likely), and called the most potent offense in the SEC (known for it’s defense). If you think someone else would’ve done better you are a fool.

More rumor mill chatter – this time about Charlie Strong.

UCF officials told the Orlando Sentinel chatter about Florida defensive coordinator Charlie Strong replacing George O’Leary as the Knights’ next coach is premature.

It’s no secret UCF would be interested in Strong as a potential replacement for O’Leary, but UCF officials are denying widespread rumors and reports Strong has already been selected as O’Leary’s replacement.

UCF president John Hitt is still expected to make a statement today about his findings following the university’s investigation into Brandon Davis’ collapse.

45

Well, nobody has the skill talent that UF does but there are not “stiffs” waiting on his arrival. Compared to 5 years ago, we’re far better off. It’s just that Woody McCorvey couldn’t design a decent offense even if he had UF’s roster.

There’s more than enough talent to run a decent (20-24 pts/game) offense in Starksville if you use it right, plus having a top 10 QB coming in does not hurt.

As written By Chris Talbott, A.P. writer:

“Florida offensive coordinator Dan Mullen was introduced as the new football coach at Mississippi State on Thursday to the cheers of dozens of fans on campus….”

Get used to it, Dan! At least you know you have the ENTIRE cowbell nation (dozens of ’em) behind you!
