Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLII

If Mullen had Scott Frost’s appearance then I think people would want Mullen more. Then he would have the “it” factor.

Hogwash.

Mullen is a boring hire. Not a bad hire. Not a great hire. A good hire. But a very boring one. Taggart, Patterson, Kiffin, Brohm, Gundy, Campbell, all more exciting than Mullen.

Yeah, I’d be like, “Oh cool. Recruiting is probably going to be about the same and we’ll win around 9 games for a while.”

Yeah, I’d be like, “Oh cool. Recruiting is probably going to be about the same and we’ll win around 9 games for a while.”

But Mullen has put double the nfl players in the league than butch/Dooley did. So how would recruiting be about the same?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Saban lost to ULM...

First year..

His post was ok till Kiffin.

I'm not a Mullenite..I'm not against Gruden, but it would be disingenuous of me to call myself a Grudenite. I would give Mullen no latitude like I did Butch. If he sucks, he just sucks.

What?

 

[Nashvegas31]

He lost to freakin south alabama..let that sink in. Even Butch doesn't lose to directional schools..

MS St Vs. TN..... Mullen wouldn't be losing to no south Alabama here either

 

[SergeantVol]

You wanna go?


100% guaranteed lock now.

Waffle House. Now. Smothered and covered.

I honestly don’t see why it’s obvious. It’s all assumptions on Gruden in the college level. Who knows how well he game plans for spread offenses, can teach his offense to mostly non nfl caliber players, wants to recruit etc.

If a man can coach well enough to win a super bowl, I think he can handle coaching in college. Why do people act like the college games is too complex for him? And recruiting will be easy for him. Not like he would be on the road 7 days a week grinding. Plus he has a great work ethic.

We hope

 

[volatil]

First year..

What year was he in at LSU when he lost to UAB?

 

[jspvol76]

Smh

 

[HankHill]

First year..

Fulmer losing to Memphis...
Beemer to James Madison

 

[BigOrange15]

Which has nothing to do with head coaching credentials. Randy Sanders has a couple of rings too.

I'm not anti-Mullen

Its a fair point you are making but coaching in college doesn't always (usually?) transfer to the NFL amd vice versa. Coaching grown men is different than coaching college kids. Mullen has coached the hell out of some college kids, Gruden has not.

 

[jspvol76]

What?

He calls him Meh Mullen, not a fan apparently.

Dang Hank you really believe in this dude...I don't.

 

[Big Sun]

Why do you have to come and f*** all this up?

twss ?

i'll let myself out... (twss)

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

What?

What what?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Yeah..but I don't hate him either..just meh.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Yeah..but I don't hate him either..just meh.

That’s the way I feel. Better than what we have. Not sure he’s a home run.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

What year was he in at LSU when he lost to UAB?

I don't know..that was a long freaking time ago.

 

[HankHill]

Dang Hank you really believe in this dude...I don't.

It’s not even that I’m crazy about Mullen. If you watch his teams play schematically, size, and athleticism compared to what we have had the last 10’years it’s a night and day different.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

That’s development not recruiting

I’d add... “cool, we’ll be able to develop our players better too, so maybe they will perform to their rating”

That's all I'm saying, I just ain't going to be jumping up and down like a thirteen year old girl at a Bieber show if we hire him. Ill just be....meh.
