First, a public-service message for those nattering nabobs of negativity in the self-described UCF “Twitter Mafia” who have been all over social media complaining about UCF’s hiring of Gus Malzahn as its new football coach:
Do you realize that UCF now has the most accomplished college football coach in a state of Florida; a coach who has a Southeastern Conference championship and a better SEC winning percentage than Florida Gators coach Dan Mullen; a coach who has won a national title as Auburn’s offensive coordinator and was 13 seconds from winning the national championship (against FSU) as Auburn’s head coach?
