I am not saying Joe is better than Mullen, but he had 0 bad losses and didnt lose to a shit Ole Miss team to end the season. Also had Joe got a layup like Louisville with Peter Sirmon in the bowl game he gets the same 9-4 record and most of the annoyance of early losses goes out the window.

Sadly we got a seasoned Iowa team that capitalized on our many turnovers, which normally do not fall on coaching.
He lost to zero bad teams, but the UK and Florida losses were bad simply because of the way he and the team were completely unprepared. I'm optimistic about Moorhead based on the way we dominated mediocre defenses even though I'm not sure we had a receiver that would have seen regular snaps for any of the top say 8 WR corps in the SEC. But he shit the bed against UK and UF. There were mitigating factors (UK on the road, we were overly hyped and overly confident, it was raining, etc, UF was against good team with coaches that new our personnel), but there's not much argument that he and the team (or at least the part he was primarily responsible for) shit the bed.
