Bleacher Report: Mullen May Need to Worry About his Job after 2013?
- Thread starter SkullCandy.sixpack
- Start date
It's not unthinkable that we'll be worse than 8-5 (I don't think we will be though), but I don't think Mullen will have to worry about his job just yet.
If we fire Mullen I'm going to flip my ****.
We're not going to though. Bleacher Report is the National Inquirer of sports.

I'm not sure, but I think we dismissed it, like we are going to do now.

Bleacher Report, consider the source...

Not only is it not unthinkable, but getting to 8 wins will be pretty damn difficult this year. Take a look at the schedule and try to find just 6 "should win" games. It's not easy, and it's going to require zero slip ups along with a few wins on the road.
That said, Mullen should not be the least bit concerned unless he doesn't make it to 6. Even then, he'll have a minimum of one more season to get things going again

Any coache's seat can get hot quickly....
depending on the circumstancts, but with that caveat, I'd say that there are only a very few coaches in the county whose job security is better than Mullen's right now.

If we have a losing season and lose to Ole Miss aGAIN, Mullen will most certainly be on the hot seat in 2014. I don't see how anybody could question that. I wouldn't be totally surprised to see him survive a bad 2014, but we would clearly be trending downward and would have to do something.
Please. Bleacher Report is just one of the many bad things CNN has done (earlier & now: iReporters - hey let's get non-professionals to report for us; more recently: their lack of professional journalistic standards re: Boston).
Just saying I don't trust Bleacher Report. With that said, it stands to reason that this season will be difficult & I will be thrilled if we win six games and go to a bowl.

Yeah, it won't be pretty if that happens. The real X factor in this is Stricklin. We don't exactly know how he would handle that type of situation.
Mullen controls his own fate, that's about all a coach could ask. Win 7 games in 2013 and beat OM, and everyone is fat and happy. Fall short of that and it'll start getting warm.

None, not ...
Saban, Miles, Richt, Mullen, Freeze ... no one in the SEC is immune from being fired after two bad years. Just look at Chizik, who was fired two years after a 14-0 NC. He went from 14 to 8 to 3 wins and was gone.
Would Bama still keep Saban if he only has 8 wins this year and then wins 3 in '14? Don' think so; not with that talent.

It seems like Bleacher Report is good for one "Dan Mullen is on the hot seat!" article every year. If Mullen is ever run out of town, those *** clowns will thump their chest until the end of days.
I laugh when I see these articles after three straight bowl trips but the same talking heads that write this stuff said we were on the right course with Croom 4 years in.
What about 5 wins?
With the schedule I could realistically see 5 wins depending on how good or bad AU and Ark are.

Their stuff doesn't always suck
Here's a nice (short) bit on Slay http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...u-need-to-know-about-the-mississippi-state-cb and here's an analysis of our depth in FB for next year, that is at least ball park. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...best-depth-charts-in-college-football/page/12

Good journalism is becoming harder and harder to find. The TV news is always slanted to one side or the other. Writers, radio personalities, and TV personalities want to be the story, rather than tell the story. Hell, Godfrey is writer. We came closer to sweeping Vandy than he ever has to writing something worth a crap. The bar is low these days. Real low.
Why even post this? It's THREE months old - one week after the Gator Bowl. It's not like we've gone through Spring Practice or anything. I'm worried about how you found it.
Here's an even better quote from #50: Expect a solid season from the Rebs in 2013.
Their college stuff is weak. I recently read a few threads on college football - one was about best places to tailgate. Miss. State was always in the 40s and Ole Miss was in the teens. They have some axe to grind against State. They make the Clarion-Lair look like it has a love-affair with Miss State.

Not in 2013 unless there is an epic collapse (as in a two win season with a lack of effort on the field) or a 4 win season with embarrassing off the field problems. I would be shocked if off the field problems showed up out of the blue at this point, so I'm guessing not. But if we go 5-7 the next two years, having Hud in the wings could matter. At that point, Mullen would be stalling on the field even after improving his recruiting.
