Is it time for Mullen

[GTAdawg]

To step away from the offensive play calling and start actively looking for an offensive coordinator in the off-season? Would it benefit the program for him to step away from the extra focus that is required for offensive play calling, and allow him to focus at a high level on the team overall? Just some examples off the top of my head show the bestncoaches in the game now don't do play calling on either side of the ball: Saban, Belicheck, Carrol, Meyer.

We can't even get him to leave the defense alone. Let's not get greedy.

That's how he justifies his overpriced salary.

Do you really want him focusing on in game clock management and when to fake kicks? He really sucks at all that stuff.

On that note, did you see Sirmon ask for the play call on the 3rd and 10 at the end of the game? He either asked "Is this call ok" or "what is the play?"

I pointed that out to someone as well. Sermon asked him something and DM nodded.

He's the least paid HC in the sec west. We're also last in the west in assistant pay, football overall budget, and recruiting budget. I think you could make an argument Mullen is giving us pretty good bang for the buck compared to the rest of the west

 

[GTAdawg]

Missing the point....I'm saying he should step out of play calling period, as noted in the example of coaches that do not do play calling on either side of the ball.

 

[GTAdawg]

Maybe he sucks at that stuff because he's too busy worried about the next offensive play call. Damn y'all just get in the habit of missing the point and going straight to the smart *** replies.

You sure he is the least paid coach?

[fishwater99]

He's actually making an average salary of $4.275 million per year. He made $4 million last year, with the salary going up each season.
His exact 2016 salary isn't known, so is probably making more than Bielema, but that would make him 6th.

Are we getting our money's worth?

Could we get a better coach for our money?

 

[HD6]

Probably not. To get a coach that would be an upgrade from Mullen, which is to say a proven head coach with a track record of winning top 25 games and known as a top recruiter, that's going to cost us more.

Rockey felker.

Up the middle could be called a tad bit more.
