The buck stops with... Mullen.
aGAIN- why didnt Sloppy Joe sign some juco DT's? He knew what the roster looked like and had a chance to offset it.Quote:

Half this board will never hold Moorhead responsible for anything. Mullen and fitz's fault last year, Mullen's fault this year, probably Mullen's fault again next year... 20 years from now, some posters here will be blaming Mullen for something.Quote:

How many did he offer who were capable of playing? That is the fair question (you cannot control who you sign, especially at juco, but you can control who you offer).Quote:

I cannot speak for others, but for me I 100% hold joe responsible for the lack of focus, effort, and organization sat. Among other things. But no soph or jr DT on the roster is on Dan.Quote:

This is a key thing that some people aren't getting right now.
Mullen was smart enough to sign jucos when he had holes. We didnt sign any juco DT'sQuote:

Lets be clear: he perpetually underachieved, got blown out in games every year, whiffed on 'cruits, and got out coached by a gallery of coaches around the league, Freeze most notably....all while neglecting it all while job shopping at the end of every year.
And I say all that while still appreciating what Dan did here, and I am grateful for his tenure, but to act like he didn't have major issues, issues that followed him to Florida, is just propagandist bull shit.
He did not take e week off. He did go there for the weekend. Now I didn't agree w that either. But you or rose bowl got it wrong. I'll assume it's rosebowlQuote:

Serious question, what juco DT did you want him to sign?Quote:
