We know what your premise is -- it's just terrible. You are not going to change anyone's minds with outlandish hypotheticals designed to skew the hell out results.
What if Mullen hired Saban as DC and Chip Kelly as OC? Would you rather him be your coach then?**
"Skew the hell out of results?" Let's look at Dan's performance without Hud/Diaz
and without the OCs. They leave and he's googling how to put together a game plan.
Why yes, as a matter of fact, I would. But instead he hires a GA and promotes Chris "Cookie Cutter Concepts" Wilson as DC. On second thought, only if he hires someone who knows something about special teams.**
