    Here's an article that's very optimistic about my beloved Gators. I don't think I am in total agreement but am optimistic we have the right coach.

    Bill, always nice to be in a position to relish the possibilities of another brand new season with a coach who is in favor with most of the Gators fans. Good luck for the approaching season.

    I agree Don but have to admit there is a vocal, but small, bunch of fans who don't like what Mullen is doing with recruiting.

    While small they are annoying and make a lot of noise.

    Good article Bill, I think Mullen was a great choice for the Gators. I don't know about his recruiting, right now the Gators are outside the top 25 and have 11 recruits most of which are 3 star players. So I can see why some might be worried, esp if they were expecting him to revive the success Urban Meyer had on the recruiting trail. But there some time left for sure so he can still pull it out and work his way into the top 10 even.

    It does seem to me that right now, Miami is really hot on the recruiting trail in Florida and that Willie Taggert being back at FSU and having deep ties to Florida recruiting from his time at USF that Mullen has his work cut out for him to get back to the top.
