Quick, name anyone since Turberville on an Ole Miss staff who went on to something better.
(crickets)
I thought so.
Cutcliffe went to Duke. Orgeron went back to being a position coach. Nutt and his whole staff is apparently headed to Memphis.
Brick Haley, Manny Diaz, Ellis Johnson, etc at State moved on to bigger and better things eventually. Mullen's name comes up in every coaching search in the country.
Hell, just last year, Rebels everywhere didn't care that Mullen was an outstanding coach because SURELY he'd move to Miami, Michigan, Ohio State, etc.
Our AD parlayed his success into a move across the country to be closer to family.
Sure it would be great if we never lost a good coach. But it sure as hell beats the alternative up north. Nobody wants a piece of Ole Miss's program. Nobody.
Except Memphis.
