Think about this.
Before the Gaytors hired Mullet, one of the leading candidates was Scott Frost. Now, setting aside whether Frost is a good fit at Nebraska (yes, he is an alum, but as a coach, he embraced Florida recruiting), think about the REASON the Gaytors didn't hire Frost.
Because he wanted to bring his assistant coaches (much as Mullet did), and the arrogant Gaytors didn't consider Frost's coaches to be "SEC caliber", while Mullet's coaches were.
And what do we hear from Gaytor fans, to this day...that Mullet is too loyal to those "SEC coaches", that they are lazy recruiters, and that they are not going to lead the Gaytors to championships.
But, hey, at least the Gaytors didn't have to explain to their friends about how they hired a "lesser" coach. That would have been soooo humiliating...
