Sec west coaches win totals

[maroonmania]

Mullen is the only coach that doesn't play a P5 school OOC and loses when he does. So Mullen should get a free win every year

Gus played the team that played for a NC OOC in 2016- and also in 2015

Well that will not be the case going forward. We have already started with playing the P5 team the SEC forced us to play. The extra automatic win OOC is gone now.

Another interesting little tidbit, Mullen strength of schedule average=24, Jackie(first 8 years) strength of schedule average=51. Jackie strength of schedule for his whole tenure=44.

[lamont]

You, of course

Why so harsh with me? I just pointed out that we dont play P5 teams OOC like the rest of the West cause we lose to them. The rest of the thread I've just stated why I think Auburn is going to be really ****ing good next year

Also BYU isn't a Power 5 school because they are an independent but they did have a Power Index ranking of #31 which is 10 spots ahead of Georgia's #41 for reference.

Exactly

Arkansas played at a neutral site vs TCU who has an FPI of #34
MSU played @ BYU who has an FPI of #31

Both games went into 2 OT

A) BYU isnt P5- but at least we stepped up our game a little. We still lost though, fortunately it wasnt the beating we took in 2013. We have had by far the easiest OOC schedule in the West for a longtime now.

UPig played TCU and won
Auburn played Clemson and had the ball with a chance to win at the end of the game
Bama played USC
LSU played Wisconsin
OM played Fla State
A&M played UCLA

In 2017- we play BYU again who is supposed to be improved as well. But they are still not P5. Let's dont act like we havent been enjoying those 4 free wins OOC every year except 2009 and 2013

Auburn-Clemson was very much like us vs lsu. It was 19-6 Clemson until 3:22 to go. Clemson out gained auburn 399-262 and auburn only avg'd 2.1 per carry.

Mullen doesn't suck. No one has said Mullen sucks. He DOES suck at recruiting elite talent though in relation to the success on the field that he typically has. What most people with functioning brains are saying is that if he focused a little more effort on signing top flight talent (maybe tweaked his strategy about) then we might just turn this program...our program...into a nationally elite program. It's not that we hate where we are at it's just that most folks recognize we are on the cusp of something great and we don't understand why more recruiting effort isn't being given when a blind man can see it would push our program into a higher tier.

I swear...with some of you it's all or nothing. Say one thing negative about Mullen and we suddenly want him fired....Jesus...

This man gets it. Someday I'd like to buy you a beer if ever down in Nola.

Every one of us wants the best for the university and all athletic programs. We are on a plateau right now with our football program. Overall we have as much or more talent than we've ever had. We have the best facilities we've ever had he far. We recruit well at most positions but there are a couple that, if recruited just slightly better, would yield top3 SECWest finishes more years than not and most likely 1-2 playoff births and a really good chance at a national championship. If we had just had a marginally better OLIne in 14&15 we would have won the west in 14 and could have repeated in 15.thisnis what we are talking about. Just marginally better OLIne recruiting and that 7 win average would be more around 9 win average.

They won 8 this past year with their QB hurt and playing a lot of young guys. They didn't return a starter at WR or LB

best team Gus has had this Fall

This team couldn't hold the jockstrap to the Nick Marshall 2014 team.

So now Mullen has to schedule teams, beat them, Market, and follow what every SEC team is doing? Your losing it. You need to follow Bama with your delusion

No

Mullen needs to recruit better on the OL and DL. That would solve alot of ills. Other West teams play major programs OOC every year and our best OOC is usually La Tech- so when people want to compare wins-losses the last whatever number years lets just be honest.

Mullen has 4 swing games in 2017 to show everyone the program isnt slipping. Count me in with Bart Scott- "Cant wait"

You've already been given the numbers on the SEC West games alone.

I've got family down in that area. I may take you up on that offer some time!

If Fitz continues improving his passing game and reading defenses we're potentially a 9 win team.
