Ok, fire Dan… and hire who?


Exactly my issue with firing him. Personally, I think we have a less personable Mark Richt as coach now, but keeping us around 10-ish wins a season coach is probably the best move for the moment. Get our facilities upgraded, and at least stay around the Top 10 in the meantime. Maybe catch lighting in a bottle with AR15 one season - even Chizik won a natty with a phenom at QB (much as I can't stand Cam).

But no, I don't think Mullen is elite, but what slam dunk hire is out there right now. I'm not happy about it, but Mullen is the best option for now it seems to me.

I agree recruiting has to get better too.

The problem with the "who else can we get" mentality is that keeping a coach around because there's no obvious Saban level hire is just lazy. If Mullen isn't the guy, which I don't think he is, then go out and get that guy. Keeping a coach around that we're not long term committed to only makes it that much harder for the next guy to come in and change things.
