Want to make sure this is seen....

I know everyone claims their being unhappy with our program has nothing to do with at least the perception of a rising program in oxford, but does anyone really believe that? Seriously?

Would there be AS MUCH negative noise about our program right now if the Bears were 4-6 or 3-7? No, I don't think so.

I do. Mullen raised the expectations around here. 4-6 with the potential of a losing record should always get negative attention in the SEC. Especially after going to 3 straight bowl games.

I can honestly say that my feelings toward Mullen have zero to do with ole miss. My feelings towards Mullen started last year when we looked like we mailed it in down the stretch. I can take a hard fought 4-8 against a brutal schedule way more than I can take a complacent 8-4 against a bunch of bad teams. I enjoyed basketball season and watching Rick Ray's squad give it all they had last year FAR more than I enjoyed watching our football team limp to the damn finish line.

Some people may worry about ole miss, and I do feel concerned about their recruiting....but at the end of the day, they don't have shit to do with Mullen. We play them once a year. And even after all the hype and hoopla, they could very well finish 1 game better than us with a loss to Mullen. So I don't understand why people would base their opinion of coaching on OM. If anything, that says we would have a stupid fan base, because it would mean we kick our feet up and get complacent when ole miss is down. Most of our fans that I know, aren't like that. We want to win, and try to progress the program...not just get comfortable and start accepting 6 wins per year and giving extensions to coaches for mediocrity.

Just my two cents though.
