    Nope. Mullen is too lazy, and imo, doesn't like us, and he and his wife never really did. It showed in his lack of effort. The laziest recruiter ever.

    Sure, you can get a Mullet. Tough style to pull off depending on age etc but sure, why not. Whatever you want.

    And this is surprising? The Barn hired Hugh Freeze.

    Outside of UF and Vandy, SEC schools would hire Attila the Hun if they thought they would win.

    He was lazy when it came to recruiting... he likes to call offensive plays and was great at it when he would get in a groove over the course of a game

    Oh, yes, we would. I assure you if we suffer another losing season next year, then we would open the bank vault to get Lane Kiffin here. I can’t stand the prick … but if he were to become our prick that would be another matter.

    The new life line hire, in danger of being fired for being a bad head coach? Petrino!
     
  14. From motorcycle wreck to train wreck. What could possibly go wrong?

    Imagine if you lied to your employer about an inappropriate relationship that resulted in your firing? And then they hire you back, probably close to the same pay, in a lesser position! College football is just wild.

    If it's an indicator of the excitement the players have with Petrino, KJ Jefferson just declared for the portal. The returning starter wow.

    Just bizarro when a coach on the hot seat hires a former HC that was fired at the school for cause as an OC. I thought Fisher hiring Petrino was crazy. This beats it by a mile.
