After Florida’s second straight loss returned the Gators to the level of relevancy most expected them to occupy before the season started, Dan Mullen wanted to set the record straight about one thing.
It’s not his competitiveness that’s the problem.
“I don’t care what we’re doing. You want to thumb wrestle me right now? I’m going to kick your ass. Know what I mean? If you want to come on up, I gotcha. Want to go run stadiums? I’ll kick your ass. If you’re going to keep score and someone is going to win and someone is going to lose, I want to beat your ass.”
Yeah, well, tell us about it when your team wins, Dan. In the meantime, get back to crapping on your fans for not showing up to watch you wanting to beat someone else’s ass.
What a sad, pathetic man.
The fake juice press conference.

I would have loved it if some member of the media had walked up there and schooled his ass in thumb wrestling. Dan would have wanted to go to rock paper scissors. The problem can’t be him……no way.

Guys, think about how wonderful things are. Dawgs are ascending, Mullen is at Florida, the Gus Bus is at Auburn, Agent Muschamp is at USCe, the Genius is at Tech, and the Conehead is at UT. All we need to do is get a new coach at Bama.

They suck, but Taggert can play the “rebuild” card and Richt is no slouch as a recruiter. Moreover, if I was a star recruit, I’d be suspect of playing for a coach whose first impulse is to throw his players under the bus, like Fishfry and now apparently Mullen.
LikeLike
The topic of competitiveness is often brought up when coaches lose. Remember the antidotes floated around about Richt’s competitiveness? This discussion always boils down to the questioning of a coaches commitment to win, which is why coaches are so irritated when they need to convince people of this. Having said this, man Mullen seems like a dick doesn’t he?

If given 100 guesses what one-on-one sport Mullen would pick to compete in, I’m not sure I’d of ever landed on thumb wrestling. Mud wrestling or alligator wrestling, maybe. But thumb wrestling?! He’s either got the mind of a 5 year old or he’s gay. Not that I’m judging.
