I don't think we have had anyone besides Ballard and maybe White who came in and lived up to their recruiting ranking out of the gate under Mullen. Most either redshirted or takes 6 or so games before they even show up. It has gotten worse as Mullen has been here longer.Quote:

Just because our job opens up before Texas or whoever else up and coming coaches aren't stupid and want jump on something until after the season plays out. But it sure did look like Mullen may have lost the team after this one.
So if he lost the team then why give him another year? Does he deserve to burn it down like Jackie in 2002 -2003?Quote:

After Freeze gives us his farewell, going away ass rape in the EB we're gonna feel lower than shit. And Mullen will still smile all the way to the bank.Quote:

I don't think any State fan is happy with Mullen tonight.
Thick is exactly right.. We are a soft finesse team without the athletes. You may can play finesse at UF but not State. His recruiting or lack of.....has caught up to us. That's on Dan.
However, I think Tusk makes a good point that the "not yet" group is considering. We can't fire him now without a GOOD replacement in hand.
First of all, we don't have an AD. I'm sure Keenum is capable of making the hire but will the money guys work with him? (I am asking, I really don't know.)
2nd, can we buy out his contract and Pay the new coach's contract?
Last, who is even going to be available and interested? With so many jobs coming open (so we assume), it will be a coach's market.
Give it to the end of the year. The picture will become more clear and we will know where stand as far as finding a replacement.
