re: How many games does Mullen have to win

If Dan chooses to stay, I only want him to stay if:
1. Hevesy is let go. There is no argument to be made logically for Heavy to be kept on board.
2. Get rid of Sallach. We have 3 Tight ends that have great skillsets but that skill will only get you so far if the players aren't utilized correctly. The kids must have better coaching. Give the TEs to Billy G with the WRs.
3. We get stability in our Defensive coaching staff and the performance level of the players improves each year. All our Defensive coaches are in their first year here so we'll see if Dan can retain them. You're always going to have a little turnover but the core has to stay intact along with performance improvement. Pass defense is atrocious right now but if it doesn't improve, swap these coaches out after a few years.
4. Stop referring to us as a developmental program. This creates a bad mind set for the players and bad image for the fans and football world. Dan elevated the program by getting fan support and better talent which improved our standing and expectations within the SEC. However, as everyone can see, our floor has lowered this year since we did not transition well from 2015.
I believe these changes are overdue. This could be as you say, he doesn't want to put up with it anymore. If so, move on. If not, make the changes.
