Things I remember from the Mullen era:
1) An anonymous poll of SEC coaches about other coaches and when asked about Dan one coach said he was easy to defend. He did the same things every game and didn't change anything.
2) When Mullen would be interviewed when his offense wasn't working that well (which was mostly the norm) he'd always say there wasn't anything wrong with the offense, they just weren't executing. Reporters or whatnot would make suggestions similar to what is in this thread and he'd blow them off and say "We just need to execute". Seems like that is what Leach says now. Also seems like that is what Saban said against Texas the other day. Probably need to fire Saban for that offensive performance against Texas a couple of weeks ago ... Pathetic.
3) A ton of message board threads like this about Mullen's offense.
Dan won with defense.
His total offense ranked 69, 42, 84, 80, 42, 8, 31, 44, 46.
His scoring offenses ranked 72, 48, 72, 60, 70, 16, 33, 56, 41
Leach last year:
Total offense: 28
Scoring offense: 60
Leach last 2 years at Washington St
Total offense: 27, 7
Scoring offense: 15, 11
