Dan Mullen wants to know 'motive' of referee call in UGA game from SEC office
Dan Mullen, who is catching heat from the Florida fans and media over the UGA loss, turned his attention to the SEC’s referees on Monday. Mullen wants to know what the SEC’s “motive is” for allowing Lawrence Cager’s catch in the second quarter to stand. The catch was reviewed on replay, and confirmed as a reception.
Comments
Lets talk about FLA offensive line holding on virtually every pass play.
It was a 50/50 call. Just because the ball touched the ground doesn't mean it isn't a reception. I think it can easily be argued that Cager had secured the ball enough to say that the ground didn't affect the catch. The ball moved, but he had it pressed against himself before it touched the ground and never let go.
Mullen needs to learn how to hold his tongue in the offseason so that Florida losses to UGA aren't as painful for him. Including his final two matchups with UGA at Mississippi State, that is 4 straight UGA losses for Dan MuLLLLen.
I am one who would not have been surprised if that call had been overturned. The call on the field was a reception, and based on the call "standing", the opinion of the replay officials must have been a lack of conclusive evidence to cause them to overturn the call. It was fortunate for us. Just part of the game, just like when we get an unfavorable ( to us ) ruling.
I love it when Mullen says anything directed to or about UGA. He is apparently not mature enough, wise enough or smart enough to realize the end result is that it hurts his goals and the UF program.
But the week before in SC he's fine with his WR holding the DB jersey for 20 yards on the long touchdown. Ask them about that one Danny boy. He's catching Hell after running his mouth before the game. He got outplayed and out coached.
Suprised a bit at the call at the time ..... BUT....If it had been called incomplete on the field and then reviewed, the call would have stood. So Mullin is wrong IMO; that call had everything to do with what the official on the field saw on a BAM BAM play and call on the field. Inconclusive video for overturn either way in Birmingham.
He loses 16 Senior starters and his recruiting has been lackluster. Next year will be worse
Cousin Eddie just savoring those sour grapes right now....I knew when he was interviewed right before halftime and his focus was on the referees and the questionable Cager catch, we had won the game
when you’re more worried about a missed call instead of moving on and understanding there’s a lot of football to play, you have increased your chance of losing
A lot of missed calls on the UF O-line holding UGAs Jersey’s all day, but that’s the game of football. 99% of the time missed/bad calls balance themselves out between two teams
I wasn't happy with the refs either. What about the holding call in Swifts TD run?? The FLA guy fell down behind the play, not really a hold at all. And Florida got TWO big holding call breaks on their last drive along with their sketchy TD catch.
I will say that it doesn't really come down to recruits, coaches or facilities, it comes down to the refs. Pitiful. I can't help to wonder it they aren't getting paid by Vegas.
The team that loses always has a problem with the calls in the game. In their opinion, all of the "bad calls" would have changed the direction of the game. If Florida wants to win, quit blaming the refs for calls and learn to run the ball...21 yards rushing had way more to do with losing than any call they could question.
I used to have a tremendous amount of respect for Mullen especially with what he accomplished at Ms. State. However since arriving back in Gainesville, whether it's the pressure at UF or too many headbutts with his players, his deck is missing a few cards. He seems to be going out of the way to channel Spurrier. Spurrier was always original & a natural at Georgia one liners but Mullen seems to be forcing the issue and even sad with his attempts to channel the old Ball Coach. It's really sad to see someone lose their mind but in this case it only benefits the Dawgs as long as he keeps distracting his teams and fan base with his weak wit. Go Dawgs!!!
There is a reason why Dan Mullen's wife did not want him under the scrutiny that comes with a program like Florida. She knows him best.
This man is going to implode.
He has had to rely on late come from behind wins against Miami, Kentucky, and South Carolina. He's lucky to not have five or more losses this year. You can't live that way and be considered a good coach. Eventually those games aren't going to go your way. When that pressure gets dialed up on him it might actually be a sad thing to watch.
A wise friend once told me, "only losers complain about the refereeing."
Looks like that's true again.
Dan Mullen working tow jobs these days . . . moonlighting as a partisan on Adam Shiff's committee - because that's what he sounds like.
Question the accuracy of the call, complain about the call, and even have a fit over that call. But questioning the motives (not jokingly, but seriously) of the officiating crew in Birmingham . . . sheesh.
Holding can be called on virtually every play so no gripe there. There were two plays when the UF offensive line moved early and UF made nice gains. What was the motive there? What was the motive when UF's receiver pushed off on the TD at the goal line?
More importantly, with Mullen saying, "Every game played in Florida is a home game for the Gators." what was Mullen's and his staffs' motive for doing such a pi$$ poor job of having his team prepared to play in the most important game of his career? His players, Gator fans, and his "home field advantage" deserved more than a clown act in the media!
