I was originally very disappointed in the hire. But truthfully Mullen has only done 2 things that I really disagree with:
(1) Not doing whatever it took to keep Seider on staff.
(2) Not giving the ball to Pierce. He is STILL our leading rusher after 5 games with only 24 carries. And he’s still averaging better than 10 yards a carry.
I understand making a freshman earn it. I also understand that freshman rb’s haven’t learned every nuance of the position. But I’m convinced that he’ll get 100-150 yards for every 20 carries. I’d just like to get them all in one game for a change. This kid is special
there are rumors that several million dollars earmarked for a huge football facility upgrade in 2011 had to be diverted to pay for the extra material needed for Weis's shirts

My only concern is too many people here starting to like one another.
Calm down...we are light years ahead of Butters, but we have light years to go...
With an offensive line as suspect as ours, I can understand not wanting to give too much run to a true freshman. Blocking becomes paramount when their struggles are accounted for.I was originally very disappointed in the hire. But truthfully Mullen has only done 2 things that I really disagree with:

And that's exactly what Mullen did. He gave Morehead his last three years' recruiting and took Mac's scrap heap and still won -- in their crib.That's Bear Bryant-ish.

“Coach, can you pick up quarters with that camel toe?”And to cover his frass.
Everyone but the fans, but esp the fans here, thought it was an intelligent hire. Kelly had been out of coaching awhile and Frost's resume was thin.Dan Mullen has four more wins than Chip Kelly and Scott Frost combined.
His last three years were classes in the 30's.And that's exactly what Mullen did. He gave Morehead his last three years' recruiting and took Mac's scrap heap and still won -- in their crib.
