I really wonder how Mullen would have done under the new NIL. Like dont get me wrong I think we have done well getting some developmental, cheap pieces to mold for NIL and spending big when we need to but I do think open NIL took out a lot of wind of true recruiting pitches. So if a kid could just go to the UF collective and get a big ol check and Dan could coach em I think it could have worked, instead they about to pay two buyouts.
I was talking to a UF buddy yesterday and we could not figure out a reason to keep Billy past sunday. The only two we could is money, as in perhaps his buyout drops by a certain date or second, is that "you get to enter the portal if your coach leaves" rule applicable mid-season? I know they cant enroll in a new school and play but could they theoretically put into the portal and talk to other schools? I was unsure with the recent changes but maybe they are hoping to fire him close to the portal or at least have a new guy lined up to try to keep some on the young talent instead of 100 other schools laser focused on their roster if they fire him now.
if making a bowl game is your biggest concern after watching how they played in 4 games, you’re in for a rude awakening. Extend Billy!!!
