I've said for years I think Malzahn is a great, maybe even perfect, fit for us. His offense is perfect for the talent we're historically able to attract. Hires good DCs. Runs his program well.Quote:

Damien Williams says hi. Also, Dan never had a schedule as difficult as our is this year. Since he rarely beat teams with better talent than us I would say our record would be about the same or worse.Quote:

Mullen went back to Fitzgerald for the rest of the season.
It's fascinating how this phenomenon of "misremembering Dan Mullen as being worse than he actually was" has been so widespread here and on other boards among Lebby supporters.
The quote was that "Mullen would have had the right QB running the ball"...and yet that wasn't really always the case was it? And that's at the QB position. I could have pointed out how he started Holloway while gaslighting the media about Aeris Williams blocking which just magically got better after Holloway got injured in 2016. Among other examples. Like starting Chris Jones for one season. Starting Zach Jackson over JT Gray. I could go on.Quote:

Dan Mullen against top 25 teams in 9 years: 7-33Quote:

And this is coming from someone who wanted to hire Dan in both 2023 and 2024. I would take Dan back, but understand what you are getting. 7-8 wins and nothing more. And the minute he has success, he will be trying to get a bigger job.
Basically we can't defend Lebby anymore, so let's act like Mullen wasn't good. Acting like mullen didn't lift our program is trash.Quote:

I don't care if it's Lebby or not- we can do better than Dan with multiple coaches.Quote:
