Well - I just got home. I heard about this when it happened, but was out of the house.
So - I'm ****ing done.
I hope - really, honestly hope - that I'm wrong and I'll happily eat crow if I am, but I'm pretty pissed at this hire. I hope the bulls are raging at everyone in the UAA that will listen, because this is NOT a hire that the alumni are going to be excited about. Hell, most of us are angry about it.
Mullen is the epitome of mediocre. Sub-500 in the SEC, absolutely **** against ranked teams. What's scary is that he's still an upgrade from Butters - enough that he'll win JUST ENOUGH to make him hard to get rid of. 8-10 wins every year, mixed bag over the rivals.. never a championship. He's like Richt - and we were THRILLED to keep Richt around so long at UGA.
As this year wound on, I stopped caring. If I couldn't watch a game, I didn't even bother recording it. I'd check the scores to see how badly we lost. Not sure I'll even start watching until he somehow surprises me and we look like an actual team again. Then again, it'll just be setting me up for anger and disappointment when he has his bi-annual brainfart game and loses one he shouldn't.
