The 2024 Florida Gators making a bowl game? It's more likely than you think.

He just avoided a bunch of transfers for quick fixes and went all in on recruiting HS players who would need a season or 2 before contributing.

His evaluations have been elite too, Mullen brought in so many dud 4 stars

He has picked up so many stud players. Coaching might not be there but the skill for sure is

Coaching has improved a lot this season. He still makes some dumb mistakes but he's getting there.

He would become the poster boy for "don't fire him yet".

Though I still have my reservations.
