Agreed. You know from my many posts, I have never liked or respected Mullet. He might have a creative playbook, but I have always felt he was an obnoxious arrogant person who was trying to claim way too much credit for things he accomplished as a part of a team of coaches.
I've tried to explain this to certain UM porsters, but they don't seem to grasp it. Mullet and Lane Train might have great offensive playcalling minds, but in every other aspect of coaching a college football team and building a college football program, they are not "it" by themselves, and they can only go as far as the talent around them (coaches and players both) will take them.
Mullet and Kiffin are not great, though they occasionally rise to high heights if they have a great QB or a great coordinator or a great recruiter (or a great head coach they report to) to carry them.
