I for one do not know what is best.....

Exactly, it is a crap shoot. We may have a terrible 2017 under Mullen. We may make a FG, catch a pass and make a defensive adjustment and go 6-6.

Also, there is NO GUARANTEE we get any sitting head coach or sitting P5 coordinator. There will be so many jobs open at seasons end.......(from another thread)....we could very easily get turned down by 4 or 5 coaches before finding a coach. History says we end up with HUD or a coach that is currently a position coach somewhere. The Mullen hire is unprecedented in our history. Also, at that time, We had a young dynamic AD. We have NO ATHLETIC DIRECTOR currently.

Assuming Mullen is back......THE change that needs to be made is that Mullen needs to turn the defense over and let the DC be his own man. The read and react garbage isn't going to work. We need an aggressive DC that blitzs and can recruit his tail off. Sirmon may be that DC. We shall see. ....if Mullen leaves him alone. I would keep the offensive staff in tact. Because...1. You aren't getting anyone better at this point in Mullen's tenure. 2. Recruiting reasons for Thompson and Hill.

BC is a mess right now. Their AD office is fighting with trustees and donors per the Boston Globe. They may be trying to sort all that out now but BC could pay Mullen and he would be closer to family. I guess it all depends on what is most important to the Mullen family but I don't see BC paying him 4 mil even though they can. Now Baylor.........Baylor would pay him 4 mil. If they want him. But I have no idea if Waco is any better than Starkville and if that is where Megan wants to raise a family.

I am hearing we are NOT firing him regardless of the end of season record. PERIOD.
