I agree. But they aren't going to fire him, Ron. We knew this, but it has now become reality. So, as you once told me, there's no use complaining about something we have no control over.

That’s right. Control the controllables. Looks like he’s coming back. Once it’s official (he hires some new assistants) I’m going to log out until next fall. I have better things to do than follow Pruitts program as closely as I normally would. It’s inevitable we’ll be terrible next fall and it’ll all come crashing down. I’ll watch the games though and cheer them on. GBO.

He was with him at Miss St. And Johnson has been his QB coach for a while, he was the QB coach with Dak and FitzGerald. He was the OC at Houston for one season when they had King and Kyle Allen then went to UF with Mullen. He was the QB for Utah when they beat Bama in that Sugar Bowl.

Sounds good to me. A whole lot better than mister "scored over 30 ppg only once in six seasons at UT". I'm tired of that guy.

AP and Hubbs have been saying a lot of recruits are reading the board and that fan response is hurting the recruiting. I wouldn't typically care, but if this staff is coming back, we need to land that in state class next year. It is loaded and could change the direction of the program.

I think its more likely they saw this

There is literally nobody who covers college football for a living, no analyst, no coach, who would agree with that statement. When we hired him as HC he was universally praised as being perhaps the top DC in America. Was in the same discussions as Aranda. He was top 1-3. You don't have success at 3 different stops if you're not a good DC. See Bob Shoop. He looked good under Franklin, but sucked here and at MSU and is no longer a DC.

But really think about his “success”. He inherited one of the most talented defenses of all time at FSU and coached them for one year. His stuff at UGA is fools gold when you really dig into it. He was solid but not top three quality. Then he was at bama and every coach looks good there.

Here at UT, he’s fielded awful defenses. He had one stretch in 2019 against bad teams where he looked good. Otherwise, it’s blowout after blowout.

Elbow? Maybe I should be tested. I have a "cold", no fever, but my right elbow feels off...like it isn't connected properly or something. No pain, just not right.

Few days ago I woke up with severe pain in my right elbow, it was red and hot to touch. It’s improved since then, but still painful. Tested positive today with cold symptoms and no fever.

He actually improved Bama's defense over what Kirby did. He's not the DC here. He's a bad HC. No argument from me.

He’s clean so I could see him getting consideration but I agree he would never come.

But there were peeps saying they didn’t want him. In my opinion, that’s ridiculous.

It's because fans of high expectation programs, like ours, are unable to grade on a curve. That's why people say stupid stuff like "Mullen can't recruit" or "Mullen only went 69-46 at Miss St." They just look at raw win totals or whether or not a coach won hardware at a particular place.

This isn't professional sports where the rules of the league are such that it is designed for every team to go 8-8 every year. There's no salary cap, and the worst team in the SEC doesn't get first pick of all the high school talent the next year.

They were talking about VQ, not VN. They said that parents or recruits send them screenshots all the time. I'd say it's possible that rival fans do it. There are several rival fans that post on VQ.
