Hud + better Admin > Mullen + Admin problems
Why would we assume that the Cigar Boys would even be willing to get rid of Mullen at this point -- without forcing the other changes that many see as a large reason Mullen is failing? That doesn't even make sense, and is essentially putting band aids on bullet wounds. THE CB's ALL realize the same issues that we do -- they aren't deaf, blind, and stupid.

Fact of the matter is -- if a head coaching move is made, there will be a housecleaning in the department giving the best possible chance to be successful longterm. I'm not saying that Hudspeth would get Stricklin fired necessarily -- but it's real easy for us to set them up as what is essentially partners in control of the football program instead of boss employee -- and basically take all of Strick's football-related power away. That already happens at a bunch of major football programs anyway...

My point is -- if the money wants Hud to the extent that I think they do -- they are going to make the shit work out to his satisfaction...
