Following Florida's 24-23 loss to Missouri on Saturday night, pressure mounting on the program to part ways with coach Dan Mullen has hit a new high.

Following a 70-52 win against Samford, in which the defense gave up a record amount of points for an SEC team playing an FCS squad, the noise around the program and Dan Mullen's job status has not abated. Many have openly questioned whether the "Gator standard" is being met, a fair question with a good deal of nuance. In today's episode of the show, we take a look at how social media has helped contribute to the rapid intensification of teams gone bad, programs gone bad and what the approach of the administration has been in trying to stabilize UF's program over the long haul. We also discuss whether the thinking in that UF administration might be shifting based on how the 2021 season continues to play out.

After Florida's 40-17 loss to South Carolina on Saturday, the Swamp247 Podcast makes the case that things are too far gone to reasonably expect coach Dan Mullen to pull the program out of its current nosedive and meet the expectations of winning championships. Thomas Goldkamp takes a look at how we got here and makes the case that betting on Mullen beyond the 2021 season is, at best, an extremely dangerous bet and, at worst, an outright stupid one.
