I think we're seeing the frustrations of not getting our 1st/2nd choice. Sure, I'm disappointed. But if they didn't want to come, we didn't want the pvssies anyways.
Mullen (and his wife) know the pressure cooker that this job is and wanted to come. So there's that. If we didn't get him then Tenn. was going to, and even pay more.
I don't think we really had a choice at this point.
And didn't we throw a fit about hiring coaches from a lower tier conference and/or not enough coaching experience. I'm actually laughing at the names of unproven coaches being tossed around by some. Oh, the irony.
There were no guarantees that Kelly or Frost would do better than Mullen might.
