Part 2 is going to be much shorter. Basically, the point is that Mullen is the most average coach in college football. Florida fans contort themselves in a million ways to show that Mullen is either a very good or borderline "elite" coach. His career trajectory and statistics show that not to be the case. As
@DTP said, Mullen also got a lot of his wins against G5 or FCS competition.
This matters for us because it shows that the "coaching advantage" that UF fans are always talking about having doesn't really pan out. Yes, Mullen's coached in 128 games, while Manny has yet to coach one. Manny has to find his footing, but it isn't as if Manny hasn't been a D1 College football coach for the better part of a decade. Mullen's 79-47 record is full of average wins and 1 to 2 upset victories all time. If we're at his team's level (which I believe us to be) or even slightly better we win this game. Mullen struggles against equally talented or slightly better teams. He doesn't overperform. Also, he's terrible with in-game/half time adjustments. If we come out swinging and get on top, his career shows that he's seldom found a way to stop the bleeding.
