We are in the sec for god's sake. Sirmon is a clownshow hire. Is it money,Mullen's ego? This cat would not even bring his family to Starkville.There has got to be a dc at a lower tier school that would love to come here that knows how to coach defense. We were lost as a blind billygoat yesyerday.
I loved the rush defense till the 3rd quarter. He had us in position to get to safety, but Jung missed the tackle. I'm not happy with Sirmon after 1 game, but it is a new system so I'll try and hold judgement
Might be because Mullen tells them the defense he wants them to run. Most good coordinators aren't going somewhere they have to run someone else's defense. Not a surprise that every defense under Mullen is bend don't break.

Remember The Medler.
The defensive coordinator, Sirmon in this case, needs to tell Mullen to let him do his job. If Mullen won't, he needs to go to Stricklin and offer to resign. Stricklin has let Mullen have too much leeway with assistants and needs to assert himself. That may be the only way we can keep anyone decent under Mullen.
Because Mullen has a reputation among the coaching community as someone who sucks to work for. That's just the truth.
I get ur frustration. But totally wrong about Sirmon..Quote:

Mullen
And people need to be outraged that the offense looked as bad as anything Croom ever trotted out there the second half more so than our beleaguered D. Our head coach is supposed to be a QB guru, and both of our guys looked like hapless dog dung out there.
3 points in the 2nd half against a 3rd world defense.Quote:

We also need a QB that can throw the ball over 10 yards. Ross and Thomas were doing jumping jacks they were so open on some plays, but Williams simply can't throw the ball. And Fitz needs to get the nerves shit out of his system. He's an SEC QB..... act like one. We just lost to a Sun Belt team that went 5-7 last year. Yesterday's game reminded me of a Croom team. We had absolutely no offense. At least Croom had db's that could cover.
I felt bad for AJ Jefferson reading his quotes taking responsibility for not doing enough himself, and for the defense giving up those second half points. Our offense should be able to name the amount of points they score against South, especially in the second half. And they laid a stinking pile of dog shit. AJ played his ass off, but he's a man and tried to take some heat off Graves in that 247 article. What a freaking plan. We gonna throw sideline to sideline, wear them down and let Holloway bust their ass up the middle. When South figured out dam.williams could only throw sideline to sideline only back to the LOS the game was over!!
South Alabama put 8 in the box against us, and we couldn't do shit about it. That is the most pathetic shit of an offense since Croom.Quote:
