I think the issue most have with Mullen is that he's not en elite coach. Everyone knows this. We've suffered through a decade of awful boring offense but at least we had a D that could win games, up until this season. Mullen is a good coach, an upgrade over McElwain and Muschamp but he's in no fashion to be referred to as elite or a big time coach that we all know for a fact would ignite the offense from day one like a Kelly or Frost. Add in the fact that it "appears" Mullen was their guy from the get go, that adds fuel to the fire and frustration we all have after following the Frost/Kelly saga for 2 weeks solid on this board. Last Sunday night all the "sources" are saying Kelly is a done deal.....we're all excited to get that huge recruiting class and see more than 2 touchdowns a game and poof gone in what felt like an instant.
Mullen will be able to win 8-9 games a season no problem, we'll maybe look like a football team. But we aren't going to win any titles which is why this hire is pointless and depressing and everyone knows this whether they want to admit it or not. And if it really is $7 million a season, on top of still paying the last two morons, then God help us all.
