Yeah, we definitely disagree. I've long maintained that Mario's strengths as a coach run from Sundays until Friday night. He's a great face to your program and parents love him....that is a skill and he deserves credit for it.
But he sucks on Saturdays. To win with a coach like Mario you have to do what LSU did with Orgeron...and that's surround him with bad *** coordinators who excel in gameday X's and O's. I'll also say that Mario would do well to surround himself with an OC with HC experience....so that he can lean on that on gamedays as well.
At some point in his career Mario is going to have to figure out he, like all of us, have strengths and weaknesses. His weakness is one that requires a VERY specific staff makeup. Passing on Mullen would be all kinds of stupidity wrapped in foolishness.
If you don't like Mullen, you really don't want to hear who I'd recommend as a plan B. I FIRMLY believe that an OC's ability or inability to recruit shouldn't even come into consideration in this particular situation. It's an irrelevant skill for the position due to it's redundancy within the current makeup of the staff.
But then again, there's a reason we've been one of the worst run programs in CFB over the last 20 years. Nothing happens by accident.
