Merlin doesn't seem too upset. Maybe knowing he ain't coming back is a comforting thing.

I can't even stand watching him talk anymore.
"We can't do that"
- Dan Mullen
Well then how about never play Milton ever again. When was the last time he played? Alcorn State?
Arky trying to give it to us but our dumb ass staff just won't take it. Just same old MSU shit.
Mullen leads for the CCYA (cutest coach of the year)!!!!!
I highly doubt Mullen decided that Milton should be the RB in that situation. To me that's on Knox. He's the position guy and ultimately on a play by play basis, especially after an injury, I'm pretty sure personnel decisions go to the position coach. People blaming Mullen for Milton being in the game don't understand the play by play responsibilities of a HC. He doesn't make personnel decisions every play. That's on Knox.
On the bright side we didn't give up a score at the end of the half. Show of hands - who thought us calling time outs would end with them breaking a run for a score?
Mullen seemed pissed to me and now we know why perk keeps getting his number called.
Are Robinson or Shumpert hurt? Why was Milton playing? Does Mullen want to lose this game???? Terrible terrible terrible. Run a hurt Tyler Russell? This was bad. Dan is an idiot no matter what happens the rest of the way.
Mullen was steadily chewing on Milton after the play. To say mullenz has no fire is ludicrous.
Recover a fumble on a kickoff, stopped a fake punt, and MADE A FG, didn't give up a td right before the half...how the hell is this a tie game
Security took one of 10 or so cowbells in our section! Really? And ppl have only rung them 3-4 times.
Bull shit. That is on Mullen. You are going to blame this on Knox? Seriously?
What I'm expecting in the second half

Maybe Tyler called his own number. He is playing well and looks like he is still gimpy.
Shumpert is fine. I have no idea on Robinson. If we score there, Arkansas quits. That is just terrible.
Also, Russell should sue Mullen for negligence for calling a QB draw. That was worse than playing Milton. It's just flat out stupidity.
Defeat from the jaws of victory.
This is how I visualize what our players see during Mullen's halftime speech...

Yes I am. Do you think Mullen makes every single personnel decision on every play? That's insane to think. Mullen can't micromanage every little thing. Position coaches have to put the guys in the right situation and Milton being in there is not Mullen's fault. There's a reason Auburn got rid of Knox. He wasn't a good field coach and that's common knowledge. Auburn's WRs sucked under him.
Dixon and Ballard covered up a lot of mistakes because they are great backs and were every down backs. We don't have an every down back right now except for Shump and maybe J Rob, so we have to use guys in the situations they were built for. Knox isn't going to go to Mullen every play and ask him if it's ok for Milton to go in this play. He has to make that decision.
we will see how brilliant Dandy is in second half. if he is watching the same game that I am ,,,,
THE MIDDLE IS WIDE OPEN !!!
Now due to injury and fumble, maybe we can try J-Rob and Shumpert.
Prior to a game during the week you better bet your ass they talk about who will play. If this is some sort of a surprise to Mullen that the two most productive short yardage rb's were skipped then you must not have a good grasp if what a head coach should be deciding.
I hope we just throw the ever living crap out of the ball with how open our receivers have been.
