I personally say that anyone who thinks Mullen would be fired after this season is nuts. Not saying whether we would be better off if we did just saying its not going to happen after 3 straight bowl seasons with 2 of those having 8+ wins. Only even slight possibility would be if we don't win another game from here on out and get trounced in the Egg Bowl. Next year is THE year to truly judge Mullen in my book. We finally will have a QB with experience that runs the system Mullen wants and we essentially only lose ONE true impact player after this season (Gabe Jackson) and have a ton of returning young talent to go with a much more favorable schedule. In fact, I would say if Mullen can't get us to the 9 win plateau next year I don't know when, if ever, he will be able to do it.

I will say that our leash may not be as long as it used to be given the 100 million dollars we have dumped into the program in upgrades Mullen wanted over the past couple of years. The fans have sold out the stadium for a number of years now and donated to get Mullen most of what he's asked for. Its time for Mullen himself to pony up with a high quality team.
