People said the same thing about Jackie at one time. And yet he left, we were on probation AND hired an unsuccessful head coach and our program is still in good shape overall.

There are a lot of talented coaches that would be happy to come here get paid millions and put up with our "unrealistic expectations" which should be elevated to championship level after 2014. Not let's just be happy with 8 wins and the Belk Bowl.
Just like the Bears were so sure Tony Dungy or Jon Gruden would jump at the chance to come to Oxford. You know, beautiful campus and shit....

I really think the absolute worst thing that could have happened was 2014. That run has made too many people lose sight of the need to build for the long term and really establish the foundation that we have never had in football. This Mullen needs to move on/when Mullen leaves talk is just as counterproductive as the Scientologists' annual job hunt.
