Mike White could not sell the top-shelf Florida brand he inherited to recruits. What makes anyone think he could sell the Georgia brand? He went to Georgia because Georgia will accept mediocrity in basketball, plain and simple. He is a nice man and good citizen and I respect him for that. But he actually made me stop watching Florida basketball for the first time in 35 years. It was just too painful.

To me the jury is out on Mullen. What do they say, act like you have been there before? I was disturbed by the Missou fight and it has only gotten worse. I do think the man can coach, however. I don't think Georgia fans should be crowing either, however. Kirby can recruit, but I would not say "the man can coach." His defenses have been shredded in big games despite his D reputation and abundance of talent. The QB room is a disaster and constantly mismanaged. He is no Saban. Not even close. He, to me, does not have "it" when it comes to game coaching. But at some point soon, Saban will retire, and Bama will see what it will be like to recruit a successor to fill those gynormous shoes. Don't see an obvious Ryan Day there. Look at the risk Texas just took with Sark. There are not a lot of quick fixes out there for any school. To me, neither UF nor UGA have a lot to brag about this year. But both should be happy with what they have given the alternatives. And hope for better days to come.
