Vandy has shown they make the right hires for coaches for their programs. James Franklin is a shining example. Derek Mason has slowly built some momentum at a school who's consistently the laughing stock of the conference. He also seems to be a coach with a straight head on his shoulders. He makes Gus look like a pre schooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weagl1 1,784 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Anyone who doesn't want Mullen needs to be watching MSU beating LSU down. A bunch of 3* athletes beating the pants off 4* and 5* athletes on the other side of the field because they are much better coached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUIH1 1,515 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Well, based on the way Mullen has dominated LSU tonight, I may have to give him a closer look. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like that is the only good football head coach our fans set their sights on! lol Definitely not a fascination here. I didn't necessarily want him when his name was floated around in 2012. I am just watching the Louisville and was wondering why a lot of people do not want him at all? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE ONLY reason Auburn fans do not want him is because Auburn has this weird fascination thinking hiring a football coach means we should value the same qualities a church looks for when searching for a new pastor! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grass isnt always greener. Just think what Mullen did with his last qb who has been tearing up the NFL.

As a matter of fact, I said that I have not been impressed by Mullen at all. He won with Dak and thus far, that has been it.

The grass isnt always greener. Les Miles was in steady decline for 3-4 years prior to his dismissal. He was finished, hence a change had to be made. Even if Orgeron sucks, who cares? Miles wasn't going to fix anything. The life-span of an SEC HC is ~10 years. Once they fall, there isn't any getting back up. Les Milers lost to US last year for god's sake...let that sink in.

YankeeTiger24 98 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Everyone that can competently manage and coach a team is on the table. Kiffin...Gruden....I don't care who else. I am fatigued by the current coach. Hell, bring back Tuberville. I didn't want him fired in the first place. At least he never seemed unsure about what fall camp was for.

Odd folks can give LSU a pass for such a horrendous hire because "Les was done". Was Chizik "done" also? Clearly Gus was a better hire than Ed O, no?
