I think people can have justified concerns with him as the OC, but as an assistant/consult/advisor obviously he'd be a huge asset.
Is Mullen going to join our staff?

I think this could very well be an accurate assessment.
I think the think that changed in the second half is we got less aggressive with the downfield passing. We were still passing but they were safer passes and Georgia was squatting on those routes.
I know it goes against his tendencies, but if we stayed aggressive in the second half like the first half we might've scored 50-60 on them.

I’m not convinced he’s the OC everyone thinks he is. When he’s been good, he’s had very good QBs, like last year. What he did against us this year is nothing, as other teams did similar, and no one is interested in their coordinators. Mullen is vastly overrated imo.
1. Georgia changed their blitzing scheme. We didn't adjust to stop that until well later into 4th quarter. They were sending more people and on edge. Took us 3 straight series to finally adjust.
2. 2nd quarter run was very important and we needed that. I also thought the opening drive of TD helped a lot and killed any hopes. There was one series where we had a chance to go down the field in 3rd, but we messed up on that.
3. Metchie going out wasn't ideal, but we experienced that with Jameson out for 2nd half against Auburn game. So, we shouldn't be adjusting on the fly, given we had some experience dealing with it. Brooks Stepped up against Auburn, Latu, Bilingsley and Bolden stepped up against Georgia. I really think we will see young players stepping up against Cincy.
But I do agree, if we don't fix some of the issues that was there against Auburn and little against Georgia, we'll struggle for a minute or so against Cincy before finally pulling away. We need to have a clean complete game to show that we are peaking at right time.
and would've knocked Georgia out of playoff
but I agree. we should've stayed aggressive until late 3rd quarter at least... IMO, we let up the gas little earlier than I would've liked.
However, if we jumped out to commanding lead against Cincy, i expect us to go conservative for the rest of the way no matter what quarter it is.

For what it's worth, I think Mullen would be a good addition to our staff, either as a coach, or a Consultant. If he makes our team better, we try to bring him on staff.
Well, if the Big Boss thinks there is some value there and we have room then he will be in Crimson.
It's possible but for even this to happen, he's going to need to bring his ego down a notch or two. Mullen I find baffling. There are some guys who are really brilliant and have tremendous egos and it makes sense to a degree, but Mullen I really don't understand why he has such a high opinion of himself as a head coach.
I stopped feeling any nervousness after Battle's pick 6. That was the shove off the cliff. Their final TD was them shooting back up at as they fell into the canyon.
I don't know much about him except his reputation was built as a OC/QC, not as a HC. If he can help us, bring it on. If not, bring in someone else who can.
That would really put people in a big tizzy.
I would love that. I won‘t use tizzy anymore.
We’ve all heard of the set of coaches that have worked for Saban and wound up coaching a team against him down the road.
There is a subset of coaches that he has rehabbed and helped them further their careers.
one thing I’ve noticed about Saban, if he’s not saying anything positive about someone then he’s not talking at all. I don’t remember him ever with a harsh word for any of his competition.
And how bad would it burn the jorts nation when Bama won another NC with Mullen as OC?
They would have to find an open appointment with the psychologist Karen is using to help him with his assistant woesAnd how bad would it burn the jorts nation when Bama won another NC with Mullen as OC?
