Yep. Me tooMan I've done a complete and total 180 on Mullen since we hired him, really glad he's here.
I like the guy, I just hope he doesn't turn out to be our Richt.
I rewatched the game with all the filler cut out, just play after play. Gotta say that I'm more impressed now than I was during the game. Franks is an entirely different qb. He consistently and accurately stressed and stretched the defenses and mullen really impressed me with the playcalling. Really good mix up of run/pass/formation changes and some wrinkles that added an aura of unpredictability and surprise. Gawd it was refreshing. Seemed like mullen got the most from the talent we had and played to players strengths. Freddie Swain made some big plays on ST, backs looked good, recievers made plays, ball was spread around.Man I've done a complete and total 180 on Mullen since we hired him, really glad he's here.
How many great schematic teams are there? I really wonder. My guess is not many. The great coaches seem to get to where they are based more on recruiting talent and instilling discipline than being brilliant game planners. Schematics are for the next level. I could be totally wrong.This is my take on the whole Mullen gripe. Most people like him just fine, but they realize he is just an above average coach. He is going to get the most out of his guys as individuals, but he’s not going to schematically take his talent beyond what it is on paper. Knowing that, you need a lot of talent. He is not known as a recruiter and neither is his staff as a whole. No one is saying that he is Willie.

As always, you're all about what you don't like and nothing about what you do.We GET IT.
You absolutely LOVE an average coach because he is slightly better than the below average coaches we've had.
As always, you're all about what you don't like and nothing about what you do.
Go ahead. Give us a list of great schematic coaches we should have hired. As a matter of fact, just name five really good schematic coaches.
1. RetiredHow about:
1. SOS
2. Chip Kelly
3. Mullen with a QB
4. Mike Leach
5. Dabo
I think you misunderstood. It's not their system, it's how they scheme their offense and/or defense. Look at how Muschamp used Fowler for example. Not that Muschamp is the best defensive coordinator, but he did seem to scheme based on what the other team did.How many great schematic teams are there? I really wonder. My guess is not many.

Any of the top 50 offense HCs or OCs. Cross out the ones with losing conference records.As always, you're all about what you don't like and nothing about what you do.

What Chimp does isn't particularly complicated. No one in this conference passes so he ignores it. He just leaves one safety and puts the corners in man. Everyone else in the box and run blitz often. Third down, often go zero high and all out blitz.. Not that Muschamp is the best defensive coordinator, but he did seem to scheme based on what the other team did.
