Dan Mullen’s got it all under control, y’all.
Amid speculation he is fast approaching the coaching hot seat amid a 2-7 stretch against Power 5 competition, Mullen insisted he has the backing of athletic director Scott Stricklin.
“There’s tremendous support from him every day, ‘What can I do to help?’” Mullen said of Stricklin, who also was his boss from 2010-17 at Mississippi State. “The administration is 100% on board with what we’re doing and looking to the future.
I tell you what — it takes a pretty special guy to self-administer the kiss of death.
Get The Picture 
A couple of years ago, somebody here made a weird comparison between Mullen and Zorro of all people. For the life of me I can’t remember who that was. It went like this, “Mullen is an imposter like Zorro and always has been.” A few of us asked for clarification as to exactly how that made him like Zorro but never received any. It cracked me up and and still does and for a while I referred to him as Zorro and then I somehow forgot about it until now. May Zorro remain in Gainesville for a while longer. His demolition job is not quite complete.

Was it written in a weird sort of haiku, or referenced Fran Tarkenton a lot? I don’t know what happened to him, maybe the institution took away his internet privileges.

He went out to take a leak and the hogs got him. Seriously I can’t remember anything about the post other than the weird comparison of Mullen to Zorro and how funny I thought it was.

I don’t remember the Zorro comment at all. I was just going on about Will Trane. I do miss him.
RUSH PROPST! RUSH PROPST! TARKENTON! JEREMY PRUITT! RUSH PROPST! VALDOSTA!
That’s me shooting up the Will Trane Bat Signal. If he doesn’t show up now, we’ll probably never see him again. And the board is poorer for it.

This is hilarious!
I remember the Zorro comparison because it was funny and bizarre.
If Mullen’s not Zorro, he’s General Custer, who was absolutely on the money when he said, “We’re not taking any prisoners”.
And the Senator’s last sentence,
” it takes a pretty special guy to self-administer the kiss of death” already had me laughing.
Only Mullen would do that.

There’s pressure, but unless the AD goes, Danny Boy will do enough to get another year. It’s the fu way.

I think MuLLLLet is safe this year unless the Bull Handbags put pressure on the president or Stricklin fires him to save his own skin. A brand new AD isn’t going to come in and immediately fire the head coach.
Towel Boy, OTOH, is not going to be leveraging other job opportunities for a contract extension in Hogtown.

That means more work for the FU head coach rather his morning tee time at Reynolds National and his afternoon cruise on the boat.

Strickland may love him – which one metric – but the fans hate him – and possibly the team hates him as well – so there is that.

Tough spot. Fire the HC seven weeks +/- before signing day, and a new guy may argue he needs a couple years to rebuild due to the talent gap.
But they aren’t gonna fire Mullen, at least not right now. They’ve got too much invested in him. The best the supporters can hope for is replacing Grantham and/or making a recruiting push. And doing either of those right now would shift attention to 2022 and take away focus on the rest of the 2021 season.

You need that friend – you need the friend who tells you that your haircut looks dumb, or the friend who tells you that your breath is bad, maybe the friend who tells you that you missed a belt loop. The person who is always going to be 100 percent real for you and give you the tough love to help you be your best.
Dan Mullen really needs a friend to tell him that he needs to shut his damn mouth and keep it shut.
