    I don't think we have had anyone besides Ballard and maybe White who came in and lived up to their recruiting ranking out of the gate under Mullen. Most either redshirted or takes 6 or so games before they even show up. It has gotten worse as Mullen has been here longer.

    Pernell Mcphee as well. I would agree with that notion of former jucos. However, these guys are the real deal at Co Lin

    My point is Darius Slay barely saw the field until his senior year but was good enough to start as a rookie in the NFL. Mullen just doesn't start 1st year guys in his system. He seems VERY hard headed about this type stuff so excuse me if I believe it when I see it.

    Mullen is not going anywhere until we see what happens next season. He clearly was trying to ride daks coat tail out of starkville and it backfired. He didn't just become a crappy coach. It will be a long rest of the year but he will not be fired tomorrow. and even if we did we wouldn't hit a homerun hire. Just because our job opens up before Texas or whoever else up and coming coaches aren't stupid and want jump on something until after the season plays out. But it sure did look like Mullen may have lost the team after this one.

    So if he lost the team then why give him another year? Does he deserve to burn it down like Jackie in 2002 -2003?

    We have had little success with jucos in their 1st year in the program. So basically- they will be no help in 2017

    It is beyond my realm of understanding how anyone could want to keep Dan Mullen at this point. Im not saying fire him in the morning but you have to after the ass kicking OM will give us. Let him go Mullenites he let y'all go a LONG time ago.

    After Freeze gives us his farewell, going away ass rape in the EB we're gonna feel lower than shit. And Mullen will still smile all the way to the bank.

    I agree. I don't understand how anyone can defend him. There are about to be ALOT of jobs open this offseason, which makes some scared

    First of all, there is a difference in defending Mullen and being reluctant to say fire him today or after the season.

    I don't think any State fan is happy with Mullen tonight.

    Thick is exactly right.. We are a soft finesse team without the athletes. You may can play finesse at UF but not State. His recruiting or lack of.....has caught up to us. That's on Dan.

    However, I think Tusk makes a good point that the "not yet" group is considering. We can't fire him now without a GOOD replacement in hand.

    First of all, we don't have an AD. I'm sure Keenum is capable of making the hire but will the money guys work with him? (I am asking, I really don't know.)

    2nd, can we buy out his contract and Pay the new coach's contract?

    Last, who is even going to be available and interested? With so many jobs coming open (so we assume), it will be a coach's market.

    Give it to the end of the year. The picture will become more clear and we will know where stand as far as finding a replacement.
