Larry Templeton is the one that signed Croom to a stupidly large and expensive extension less than one year before Croom 'resigned'.

Yeah, that was brilliant thinking -- and it's the same **** people can't seem to wait to do with our AD and Football coach.

He got fired. And I feel pretty confident Mullen will not be getting fired in the next few years

was schedule a home football game on bid day when the school was over half greek. Maybe he didn't have a choice, but since the place was basically an independent D3 school I think he could have avoided that. Also, whenever he hired a coach there he hired an assistant of the previous coach. I don't know if thats what all D3 schools do, but thats not how I would want an AD to pick a coach. He would be an option because I know he puts a lot of effort into his job, and I agree he brought in tons of money, but he wouldn't be my first choice unless he does have a reason for doing the things I listed.

and mandated the move down to D3. Before going D3, he was doing a very solid choice. And to reiterate, moving down was not his idea or intent. D3 schools can't offer scholarships and tend to put very little money into athletics in general. They are primarily academic institutions. MC is a good example of this. There just isn't money to go out and hire some great coach at that level, unless a disgraced big time coach like Mike Dubose just falls in your lap. And if you're happy with what an assistant is bringing to the table, I have no problem promoting a guy. Think about it this way in an extrapolated MState scenario: We lose Mullen to one of the big boys in 5 years. Hevesy is running game coordinator. Hudspeth is passing game coordinator. The offense, both running and passing, has been very effective during their tenure as tri-OCs. Both have recruited well over that span and both have shown the ability to develop players at their respective positions. We've also been to several solid bowls in that time span. We do a national search, but conclude that either Hevesy or Hudspeth is the best fit for our program and hire one of them as HC. Would you be upset in hiring one of them? Or would you be pissed that we "hired an assistant of the previous coach?" Personally, I'd have no problem in that scenario.

I don't know enough about the scheduling scenarios to speak about that, but it's not something I'd be overly worried about. Like I said, the 2 things you're concerned about have both happened <span style="text-decoration: underline;">after</span> the current president there cut his nuts off by moving down. I'd be happy to bring one of our own back home.

he put "resigned" in quotations.

and agree it is ok sometimes to hire an assistant. I don't know that much about what went on at bsc before they left D1, so I won't dispute anything he did at that time.
