You're either bad at reading or the worst at guessing.
I was saying that Mullen was fired, despite being far and away better than his high profile cohort of Kelly and Frost. So Napier could be more successful than his cohort and still be fired first.
As in Florida doesn't put up with that shit.
Cincy: Which first year coach will be the first fired?
Badge: Florida or Washington.
OAM: Because we don't accept mediocrity.
Perhaps you want the most charitable interpretation? Or you could write more clearly.
Anyway, the Mullen firing is interesting, though comparing it to the other two is sort of silly. Kelly is where he is because he's at a school that has less football interest, and just had an upward trend. Nebraska is at this point OK with football that's not mediocre, but actually pretty bad. Which is unfortunate. Florida ... well it's an interesting case. Mullen wasn't fired because of his overall record. If he'd gone 6-6 in Year 1 and 11-2 this year, he'd still be there.
His firing was interesting in many ways because he's interesting. Mullen is an actively disinterested recruiter and all-around one of the most abrasive people in the sport. At least Spurrier could charm someone. He also lacked the Spurrier-level foresight to cover his ass with a good defensive hire. So when he explained that his team didn't bother trying in one of 12 games last year, then had them quit on him down the stretch, well, that was gonna be that.
And it's true, Florida's fanbase is nothing if not impatient. It's a program that across the last 20 years has had a mediocre coach 75% to the time. College sports are weird because people find a way to turn entitlement to the work of others into some kind of badge of honor. Florida has high standards, and keeps hiring mediocre coaches (especially ones with terrible interpersonal skills) and thinking it's notably hotter stuff than it is.
