AUAlumnTN 211 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Mullen's name will be mud in Auburn forever but even setting that aside, he'd be a terrible OC hire on the merits. He famously despises recruiting. He has an ego the size of Jupiter and does not play well with others. He just finished running himself out of one of the ten or so best jobs in college football in part because of one of the most disastrous roster management decisions in recent memory (Emory Jones over Anthony Richardson). Also, he's had two teams quit on him in as many seasons. There are legions of better hires out there. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUloggerhead 2,530 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 CBH's decision to part ways with Bobo was the correct one, however awkward or difficult. I'm hoping he can be just as rational & level-headed to choose a better OC going forward. Hiring a fired Mullen would be like: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerman1186 537 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 No way...probably been mentioned earlier...but if you're trying to have consistence with your OC, why hire Mullen, he would be a one year coach... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehighfan 1,254 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Until or unless a serious upgrade is made to the OL I don't think it matters much who Auburn gets as OC. Just my opinion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUx 3,214 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Mullen would be as helpful as an Omicron outbreak. He needs to go ahead and embark on his first love - WWE promoter, and quit pretending he wants to coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucanucktiger 1,896 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Loved twitter post that said "if we hire Mullen, the NCAA will finally get it's wish of Auburn having somebody on staff that tried to pay Cam Newton". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we promote Kiesau and then hire another DCraig or Trooper Taylor at WR coach, great! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this applies to all people considered for the job. If your main job is raising up teenage boys into grown up respectable men who also play winning football (yes winning should be important but character should always come first) then you should enjoy meeting teenagers and discussing how you can help them grow. If you don’t like that then you probably don’t like actually raising men either. Which is how you end up losing a team and raising a team full of immature and ineffective players. I think enjoying recruiting or not enjoying should speak volumes as to who is right for the job of training up respectable Auburn men who truly excel in everything they do.

Mike4AU 1,755 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Some people must not know Mullen’s history with AU. I’m sure Chizik doesn’t have him on his Christmas list. Notwithstanding what he and his wife did with Cam, Mullen is an absolute azzhole. He is trash. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
