If the 1-score games went the Gators' way, we'd be 9-2 with a win over Bama and a very bizarre loss to USCe.  I'm not saying this is a 9-2 team or anything like that, but in the grand scheme of things, teams tend to have good spurts and bad spurts in 1-score games.  Based on Florida's overall program and Mullen's overall coaching record, both have been very good.

I really don't think I'm overstepping here, I actually found those claims to be quite vanilla.  But I guess I was wrong again.  As usual.

It's similar for Texas.  If every 1-score loss went the other way, Texas would be 8-3 right now with wins over Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Baylor.  What's more, Texas was leading each of those games by double digits in the 3rd quarter.

I wonder how many Gator fans out there believe this year's team is "perfectly good".  I hope that is a prevailing opinion and they keep Mullen in charge.  If this version is "perfectly good", it means they are content with a team that, to me, looks rather inept and weak, but claiming most of their losses are close can keep them hopeful.  I am all for it.

So, this is a perfectly good team with a perfectly good coach.  I rescind my comments.  not really.
Why, after pointing out our misunderstanding, do you continue to misunderstand?

And for Alabama, they'd be 11-0 and #1.  I'm eyeing tickets for the SEC CG.  Even the Tech game is showing $100+.

I might go if the weather is decent.

Because you clearly stated "perfectly good TEAM", not program.  It's not my misunderstanding of your post.

I think the better question is, "Is this Florida team better than their record?"

Sometimes a team loses a lot of close games and we want to write a narrative about them not handling pressure, or about bad coaching, etc. But maybe it's just chance.
The talent question is what makes it a sonofabtich in the SEC.
Your recruiting class is 10th in the nation?  Great.  That's 6th in the SEC.  You're screwed.  

If Florida keeps Mullen, it has the resources to grab almost any great DC to help out.

I'm guessing we're misaligned on the definition of "perfectly good," and I don't care to clarify it.  

Let's move on.

If you view a 5-6 Florida team as being "perfectly good", I can only hope your opinion is widely shared among Gator fans.

They do have those moral losses of course by less than a TD, so there is that, and a win over the Vols.  And Samford.  Heck, we should write them up as being 9-3 or 10-2, at least.

I'm hearing on line a LOT of Gator fans are perfectly fine with this season and want to retain Mullen and even rehire Grantham.

Well, not really.  I actually have not heard any claim the team is perfectly good, but I'm sure some have.

was not gonna say a thing, but the Sooners wouldn't be happy if this applied to Texas and Nebraska

Bob Stoops 'might be interested' in Florida job if Gators fire Dan Mullen, columnist says (247sports.com)

Misleading headline IMHO, it is a columnist who is saying Stoops MIGHT be interested, not Stoops.

Out of 24 games that were decided by a single score, Nebraska has 5 wins and 19 losses under Coach Frost. I still support him, but as I’ve stated before, being a Nebraska fan is a special kind of hell right now…

Head coach Dan Mullen and the Florida Gators parted ways Sunday, first reported by Matt Zenitz and confirmed by ESPN's Chris Low. The move comes less than 24 hours after the Gators fell in overtime at Missouri, that coming after the Gators Florida suffered a 40-17 blowout loss at South Carolina and then had a scare at home with Samford one game later. Florida has not yet achieved bowl eligibility entering the final weekend of the regular season.

Mullen was in his fourth season with the Gators. He was hired away for Mississippi State in late 2017, filling the vacancy left behind in Gainesville by Jim McElwain. Mullen exits his run as Florida's head coach with a 34-15 overall mark.
