There is really nothing to be scared of, I mean Mullen has won 8 games twice in the last four years no matter what happens this year. Its not like giving a consistent "3-win a year Croom" an extra year. The ONLY reason, I REPEAT, the ONLY reason to be worried about trying to make a move this year would be that our administration is convinced that Hud is the man we've GOT to have for the long term and we are gravely concerned we will miss our window with him if we don't nab him before some other big program picks him up. Other than that I don't see any downside to giving Mullen another year. We may be VERY pleasantly surprised when we are running the true Mullen offense full time with a competent dual threat QB. I mean if anyone on this board thinks we are consistently going to win in the range of 9 to 10 games a year with a different coach (unless the SEC West goes through a down cycle of some sort) then I'm afraid that's probably not realistic. We didn't do that even in Jackie's hayday when the SEC was not nearly as strong as it is now.
