Reading through here and seeing all of the Hail States from opposing teams is really cool. It actually highlights what sports and competition is about. Ive always said "sports hate" is the only kind of hate I can get behind. It makes each game mean something. But I realize sports love is great too. The respect for the game... For your fellow competitors. Im sitting in Starkville on a wet and nasty day with this black cloud hanging over us but to know we have the support of much of the sports world means a lot. RIP in peace Coach Leach and Hail State!
Not sure if Leach is excited about going to Tampa, but I bet Freeze would be.
Maybe Yancy could come up with some nice quotes that he could attribute to Corral a la Devin Brown... dress it up in seersucker and chandeliers to make it all "Ole Missy".
I dont mean it as compliment to him. Just because he is a salesman doesnt mean he's good at it. But he tries to sell an idea or illusion that everything is fine when obviously thats not the truth. He says it expecting people to buy what he's selling and sometimes it makes him seem like an idiot.
Dan is a salesman as much as a coach. Sometimes even more so. Thats a big reason for some of his quirks and why he cant be honest about whats going on with his team. His idea of motivation is to sell the idea that everything is good. He knows what the issues are, but he'll never admit it. The problem comes in when the issues are obvious to everyone and he keeps selling.
As I Bulldog I will say Mullen made us a better program. There are a lot of things I respect about him as a coach so I dont say this to knock the guy or as some sort of sour grapes thing... but I heard repeatedly from players and alumni alike that Dan was one of the laziest recruiters college football. He generally seemed to dislike it so he didnt put the effort in it and Browns comments seem to confirm this once again. He's a solid coach on the field and knows how to take a decent athlete and play to his strengths and make him great. But I dont think anyone is trying to be negative about the Gators. There is a good chance that was just a fact.
Talk about ingrates... You better hope we get something better. We've pretty much been Florida's farm league for while. You look at our athletics program and said, "how are they doing better than us? We've got more money. Go buy it!" Our success's of today are the ones youll be buying off us after a few seasons. Youre welcome.
