    We're not going to win 8 next year with a new OL and losing half of our 2 deep on the DL

    Bama and LSU at home- thats 2 losses.
    @Georgia, @Auburn, @UPig, @A&M makes for a tough road schedule
    Kentucky has recruited well upfront and will get nothing but better on the OL- they wont be a gimme anymore
    OM at home is no guarantee either
    BYU and @La Tech wont be easy wins either for our team in 2017

    We should force him to get rid of his DC! Oh wait, he does that every year anyway.

    Exactly, at this point next year is just another year to not extend Mullen's contract and see the buyout go down. It will be a wasted year but they will still expect all of us loyal fans to fork out even more for season tickets.

Mullen doesn't let the assistants do their jobs like they want. It's so obvious
    There are all manner of DCs in the FBS that would love to have our job. Even if not in the Power 5 conferences at least in any of the other lesser conferences. Why Mullen went with a LB coach out of the PAC 12 with almost no experience as a DC is beyond me.

    And on that point despite Ray we now have s great basketball coach. Despite Coach O Ole Miss had 10 win seasons with Nutt and Freeze. I don't see is making much progress with Dan and even a bad hire for three years likely gets us closer to the next good one. In the past we've had interest from Steve Spurrier and Jimbo Fisher even though we were in much worse shape than now. Let Dan go.

    And one thing about the media you probably haven't thought about is the reason they have the expectations for us that they do is because we tend to put up with more shit like what we've gone through this season. Most schools in the SEC don't put up with losing to South Alabama, Kentucky, giving up tons of yards to UMass and Samford and 50+ points to Alabama and Arkansas. We do. Because of fans like you who don't demand better.
    Howland was a coup all the way around. Good timing, Addidas, Stans firring forgotten about. We got lucky.

    We weren't supposed to make any progress after 2013 either. Dan was finished, Anybody would be better than him. Well...
    Not saying he will pull off another 2014, but I think he has a better shot than some rookie.

    The media do not wear maroon colored glasses. Our fans seem to have Alabama expectaions for some reason now.

    And no I won't put up with consistent seasons like this one, but I don't think we need to be making knee jerk staffing decision because of one bad year.
