I'd say there's little chance of that happening... going 6-6 would meet expectations. He would have four straight bowl appearences. I think state fans would be happy with that.

Historically I'd tend to agree. Ironically though, a coach on the rise can be his own worst enemy in some cases (without continued win/loss improvement) because they inevitably raise the bar for the program. Add to the fact that Mullen has been less than humble regarding his accomplishments and I personally believe at the bare minimum his seat would get warm, but there'd begin to be a vocal group within the fan base calling for a change (i.e. Hudspeth).
