LOOK: Georgia fans blast Dan Mullen after QB Jalon Jones enters transfer portal
Dan Mullen hasn’t been shy about trolling Georgia since taking over as the Florida Gators’ head coach last season, but now one of his shots at the Bulldogs is coming back to bite him.
On Tuesday night, 4-star 2019 early enrollee QB Jalon Jones entered the NCAA transfer portal after only one spring in Gainesville.
Naturally, that brought to light a quote that Mullen had recently in which he seemed to be trolling the Dawgs for the Justin Fields situation:

Naturally, Georgia fans took to Twitter to make sure Mullen’s quote wasn’t forgotten:
“I’d think we did a poor job recruiting if guys were coming in and then immediately walking out the door” -Dan Mullen after Justin Fields transferred-.

This quote did not age particularly well considering Jalon Jones transferred after only 15 practices.

Justin Fields transferred because he couldn’t beat out Jake Fromm. It’s that simple. And check this out, I don’t blame Jalon Jones for transferring either. It’s just that everything that Dan Mullen has said, has bitten him in the butt.

Jones was the No. 10 dual-threat quarterback in the 2019 class and the No. 9 overall recruit from the state of Virginia, per the 247Sports composite.
I read every article I could find on the subject and the only reason mentioned was that he was a distant fourth on the depth chart. Whether Mullen told him or not, it looks like the kid expected to be higher than fourth on the chart. Or, as some have speculated, he got into some sort of trouble.
Now c’mon, playing ‘humble’ doesn’t fit your ‘know it all’ personality.
Tell us, would you want to be 4th now, with more recruits coming in?
Of course you would.
I see Bourbon Whiner came to you support on the Kentucky page. With him, SevenT and the others, heck, isn’t it time to put out the first edition of your journal?
I can see it now,

Keep searching!
You’re still responding to every one of his posts…?
You’ve been at it for months now. I think you’ve made your point, yeah?
Dan Mullen is a Steve Spurrier wanna-be. Dan Mullen will never be Steve Spurrier’s equal.
you Georgia fans are constantly in a “that time of the month” mood.
You Gator fans are constantly the tampons we thought you were.
Look at you all..swarming like a bunch of gaggling women at an open bar.
You Florida fans only have memory dating back to 1990 when it comes to the Georgia-Florida Game win-loss record.
Nah, we know we beat you guys twice with Treon Harries lol.
I bet Kirby Smart just rolls his eyes every time Mullet opens his mouth. Kirby knows full well something will happen to make Mullet look even more foolish than the time before.
We really hated that Spurrier ran his mouth and then backed it up. No such worries with Mullet.
Mullen’s first year was WAY better than Kirby’s, with less talent. Kirby couldn’t beat McElwain! LOLOL
Mullets first year was a sparking 5 and 7 record with riveting wins over powerhouses Jackson St, Vanderbilt, Mid Tenn, Kentucky and Ole Miss. His closest “BIG” boy win was a close loss to number 1 Gatorbaitor U led by quitter Meyer and I better try baseball Tebow…but go ahead with your bad self.
I missed that season where Steve Spurrier won with Mullen’s talent at Mississippi State.
He was at Duke then.
Ah, another Georgia-Florida article.
Let the floodgates open.
Coach Dan Mulligan is obsessed with UGA. He is Bat Shift Crazy. He’s never been able to beat CKS and its driving him over the edge.
Ya im sure one loss to him while at UF is really driving him crazy
Wow you dawg fans are ridiculous if you really think that these are even close to the same thing sure be my guest. I love how a dawg fans will tell us gator fans who follow our team more that we don’t have proof, so we can’t speculate when they go right on ahead and speculate. Jones wasn’t going to start or even crack the top three lineup and for those UGA fans think Mullen lied you are beyond stupid. Mullen has never started a freshman QB and Jones was a project at that. If you think a freshman project Qb left because he was promised playing time, I can’t help you. I mean really its spring ball, and no one was even named the starting QB. There have been rumors that is was a personal issue that they wanted to keep it in house to respect Jones’s privacy. Also, to compare Jone’s, a low tier project QB to Fields a consensus 5-star qb top 5 player in the country and was the next Heisman trophy winner per a ton of UGA fans. I mean common know one knows fully why Fields left but there are videos of him clearly frustrated during games and one after a game where he clearly says he didn’t do anything and was really frustrated. I mean I can’t say for sure but based on his remarks and actions it appears he was promised something that wasn’t delivered. Whereas Jones left after 15 practices. What promise do you think Mullen broke to make him leave? This is the problem most (not all) of you UGA fans twist these stories or stats or whatever to fit whatever story works for you.
What I also find ironic is a lot of you UGA fans ridicule Mullen for some light hearted jokes while you sit here calling people names talking crap about an entire fan base ect. You guys tell us to what till we beat UGA to start talking crap but I see you on Bama’s board all the time talking crap. Yes UF fans are happy Mullen took a 4-8 team with 2 total 5 stars and in his first year went 10-3 with a NY6 bowl turned a awful QB into the most succesful UF QB since tebow and finally turned Florida’s offense around. Yet you only point out the losses to Mizzou and UK like he completely failed. You guys are always on our posts talking sh*t even when it has nothing to do with UGA but then whine when Mullen does it. SMH
You’re right they aren’t even close. Justin Fields stayed the whole year at UGA and then left. This guy left UF after like 20 mins. Everyone knows why Fields left, he thought he would beat out Fromm and be the starter, that didn’t happen and he left. This guy at UF leaving so soon after arriving is fishy.
It’s a personal issue and is a mutual parting by both parties. Why would a player leave after enrolling early knowing he wasn’t going to start?
I don’t know why he would leave so soon, that’s why I said it seems fishy to me.
and it comes out like I said it was a mutual decision based on personal issues. Mullen is doing the right thing by asking this kid to leave and not allowing this on his team but UGA will skew it to fit their narrative
Mullen didn’t need any proof when he made his ‘speculation.’ I’d hold the HC of a major program to a higher standard than internet commenters.
Now that the “personal issue” (if that’s what we’re calling it when someone commits sexual battery) came out, I’ll agree that Mullen’s ignorant troll doesn’t look as hypocritical, but I can’t say that he or UF looks better.
I’m just here to read comments
Same lol
