Throw him a lifeline.

Finally, somebody comes up with a good reason for a 12-team college football playoff.

Lifetime job security for the Portal Master™ in Gainesville?  In the immortal words of Jules Winnfield, shit, Negro, that’s all you had to say.

    Shit like that is why I’m not in favor of expanding the playoff. I may be wrong but isn’t the playoff supposed to determine the best teams over an entire season and not just who got hot at the right time? I believe it would make the regular season games less important overall.

      Your name says it all DieselDawg. You’re an analog Dawg living in a digital world. Why, you can’t even bother to upgrayedd to a double dose of electric batteries. Still pimpn’ that petroleum and expecting the regular season to count for shit. Just watch the MLB playoffs and how the World Series can feature the 5th and 7th best teams to enlighten your antiquated view. Hard work, preparation and excellence are such fascist values. Everyone’s a winner, man.
      Damn ol boomers.

          RR, I have 2 850CCA batteries in my old truck. On cold days it takes both and plugging in the block heater the night before.

            Bought a used 992C from a coal mine in Pennsylvania 25 years ago. It didn’t have a block heater as it never shut off up there except for service in a heated shop. On the bitter cold nights we’d leave it running rather than spend the morning trying to crank that monster. Came into the quarry one 10 degree morning to find it shut off and a note taped to a window from the hunters saying how the noise was disturbing the deer.
            I was perturbed to say the least.

    His record against top 15 teams suggests that he isn’t going to win many of those games at all.

    That probably would buy Mullen a couple of more years till it wears off just like New Years 6 bowls are already not enough. At some point he needs to win an SEC title which I don’t see happening ever for him. Last year was his shot now he’s stuck with his recruits. His record is getting worse against good teams not better. That will make recruiting harder as he circles that toilet bowl drain Gainesville. Down the hall the Ole Ball Sack is waiting to pull the flush handle on Mullen.

    Why does anyone thinks the NFL has interest in this ass hat Mullen?

    I think there are a lot of coaches that want a 12 team playoff for job security.
    Heck Jimmy Sexton maybe behind the expanded CFBP movement. It’s always money motivated.

      “Why does anyone thinks the NFL has interest in this ass hat Mullen?”
      My guess is because of his relationship with Urban, he’d be a shoo-in for OC in Jacksonville.
      Meyer’s recent antics may have thrown some shade on that.

    That thinking is bigger than Crabby Dan. “As long as Coach makes the tournament he’s safe”. College football becoming college basketball. Sigh.

    I’ve noticed there hasn’t been a coach to come out against the expanded playoff. There’s more job security, more bonus money, and an easier path to pay increases with 12 over 4.

    No one has been able to present a cogent argument beyond “more good games” for why expansion is good for the sport. No one has been able to argue successfully that teams 5-12 (generally, the wild cards) are deserving to be a national champion in the past (other than 2007).

    Look, if the Gators are happy with perennially backing into a 12-team playoff at 9-3, only to be publicly castrated by a superior B1G or B12 team, then I’m happy for them. ¡Viva Mullen!

    The scenario I’d be betting on is the one where he continues to blow every opportunity at a playoff slot and his cheerleaders have to come up with new, more creative, ways to explain his magical genius.

    The day that the 12 team playoff is announced, the AD’s at TAMU and #FTMF will be on the phone to Jimmy Sexton. They’ll be begging him to let them modify Dopey Dan and Jimbo’s contract to give each a HUGE playoff bonus should they make it in to the new watered down easier to attain playoff. The want to be the first in line to willingly overpay to ensure they keep a coach that no one else wants anyway. They are afraid they might get outbid by themselves if they don’t rush to give them more money first.

        It’s the NC that they focus on. How may MLB players have had long and well document mediocre careers but are massively overpaid because they have ONE phenomenal season that is a total anomaly in the rest of their career.
        Jimbo got lucky and will make bank off of that one lucky moment for the rest of his life. A true one hit wonder.

          I get all that, to dump more $$$$ his way is a bit of a stretch…now if he had the success/results that the gus bus did against the bammers I might be more understanding…things are bigger in Texas (or so I’ve heard)…

    No whining from me on this one, keep Ole Dopey the dipshit clown down in that Hogtown, ditch lizard cesspool haven as long as possible. However they need to justify keeping him…it’s still cool, honey bunny
