re: OK everyone who wants Mullen fired, what then? Who do we hire?

Mullen signed an extension 8 months ago

yeah, imagine that. giving a guy a raise, less than a year, fire his arse.


i for one will be disappointed if we lose him. imagine turning over a new coach that has been essentially an upgrade over mcelwain. mcelwain's teams never looked good even though we won the east twice. and that was because richt was the coach of georgia one year and kirby was getting used to being a HC the next.

despite 2021 and parts of 2020, it's been an upgrade. not much, but you can't just shrug off 2 NY6 bowl wins out of 3 appearances and an SEC championship appearance. this year was bound to be a drop compared to last year offensive wise. not sure why we expected more out of this team given what we lost.

i'm willing to let mullen let his buddy live out his contract as DC and option out of renewing it. it's better than "firing" him in my opinion in terms of being loyal to a friend. but he's got to get a better recruiter and he personally has to recruit better himself. the only thing is, what can we offer recruits that they can't get elsewhere at places like Clemson, Alabama, Georgia, OSU, etc.?
