um…no. Mullen got 4 years…Napier just completed his 3rd year. And Mullen‘s record got worse over time..and Napier got better.

Trends matter.

In three seasons Napier has lost more games than Mullen did.

He’s 18-19

Mullen was 31-14

Given the trend. Napier might catch Mullen in wins in early 2027.

So I guess trends do matter.

let me try again…you said Napier had gotten more time than Mullen. That was false..Mullen got 4 years..Napier has gotten 3.

I brought up the trend because Mullen was 10-3, 11-2, 8-4 then 5-6. That’s what we call a bad trend.

Napier has been 6-7, 5-7 and 7-5…that’s called a good trend.

Since you llke to tell everyone on here that you know more about football than everyone else, I am sure you know if a coach starts out strong and starts to fade…maybe he is just winning with the prior coaches players. And if a coach improves over time maybe it’s because he is now winning with his players and got rid of the prior coaches players.

Now that Napier has gotten rid of Mullen’s players, he has no excuses. But I wouldn’t call Mullen a success at Florida because he had two good seasons with another coach’s players.

Mullen is a good coach..but he didn’t do well at Florida.

I know. I was wrong. But the fact that he’s lost more games in less time than Mullen is even more damning.

This is easy. Are you related to Napier? This is weird.

he lost those games with MULLEN’s players. which is my point. Mullen is not a good recruiter…he won games with McElwain’s players. When the players Mullen recruited were juniors and seniors they lost. As you say…”this is easy”. Napier had to clear out Mullen’s players and now he is doing better. I still dont know if he will do well enough to keep his job at Florida..we will see.

This conversation started because the comment was made that Mullen will do well at UNLV. He may…but I still think his recruiting capability could be an issue.

Why in the portal era is it taking Napier so long?

Because he sucks.

You have no argument.

Taking so long? You didn’t even know how long he was there! Sometimes it’s better to admit you don’t know what you are talking about rather than resorting to “because he sucks” as your argument.

Sacramento St negotiating with Michael
Vick to be HC.
Thank goodness they’re not the Huskies or Bulldogs.

SacSt on verge of going FBS.

I don't blame them. Look at what Mora is faced with and if we continue to be successful, will be faced with each season. We lost one of our top RB and our top WR to the portal and now he's gotta hope he can hit again with his next crop of transfers. Practically rebuilding each season but being expected to win with that rebuild is insane.

Mora dealt with this in the NFL and the college coaches are dealing with this for the first time and some don't want to change their ways.

Florida lost to Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, A&M, & Miami ( a combined record of 54-12).
They ended the season on a high note, winning their last 3 against LSU, Ole Miss and FSU (who sucked)
You're entitled to your opinion, but I think Napier did a very good job this season.

Clawson was traumatized by losing a QB to Notre Dame.

I think Mora is a bit more immune to this.

If you want to keep coaching at this level then you better take a stoic approach and deal with it.

The portal is the way, NIL is the way. That line from the Mandalorian doesn’t mean what most people think it does.
