Agreed. I think he's got a leash about 7 miles long. Frankly, Butters would still be here if he didn't force his way out with the death threats thing. Stricklin hates coaching searches because he has to get off his ass and work.
Mullen's seat is absolutely ice cold, and will be ice cold for years. As long as we win 9+ games, losing to UGA every year for the next decade won't get him canned. Championships don't matter either to Stricklin.
I agree with this 100%
Mullen's earning equity now. As long as it doesn't bottom out like it did with Muschamp, when he lost to Ga. So., he'll be fine.
And good point about Mac. He wasn't fired for performance, rather that embarrassing death threat fiasco. If not for that, he may still be here.
Fans, of course, would freak out. You guys freak out after every play if it doesn't result in a touchdown. But the administration hasn't shown that they are willing to fire based on performance.
