Number one is the obvious. I agree with him about our fans.

Number two is what really pisses me off about our fans. Note this section:

Since the inception of Bulldog football, there have only been five times, you can take a five year window and call it ?success?.

The 1954 to 1958 Bulldog teams went 25-21-1, having mild success, winning 53% of their games.

1970-74 saw a 47% winning trend, good years mixed with bad ? to generate a 25-29-2 run.

1978-82, the Bulldogs went 31-26 but several of those games were forfeited due to rules violations and such.

Then there?s the 1996-2000 run that saw the Bulldogs go 38-21, winning three bowls, the west and 64% of their games.

Mullen, to his own credit is now 35-28 over a five year stretch, with a winning percentage of 56%, four straight bowls and beaten his rival four out of five.
Why do people continue to trumpet this nonsense? First of all 78-82 didn't see probation, that was 75-77. And those wins counted, I don't give a f*ck what Ole Miss fans tell you. We were 35-20 on the field from 1974-1978, good for a 64% win percentage, equaling Jackie's run.

Bottom line, what this tells me is that Mullen has done VERY well and we should be appreciative. The fans who want to fire Mullen are stupid, period. But also, the potential is here to take another step, since two other guys have done it in Tyler and Sherrill.
