Dan Mullen

[...TrueColors...]

He had lower standards at Miss State. He finished 4th or worse every year but one in the west. He would have survived a down season like this at Miss State.

Everything is different when there are expectations and pressure.

 

[That SOB Van Owen]

He will end up in Nick Saban rehab after BoB gets a HC job this offseason. Pretty obvious.

Maybe Urb can go back to Florida and Mullen can stay on as the oc. I’m kidding by the way, but I wonder if Florida will make a call to urb. His sins there don’t seem as bad now.

Would feel pretty nervous about bringing Mullen in TBH

Tom Herman is probably the better former Meyer OC to bring in. In all fairness, he was the most successful HC Texas has had since Brown, I believe?

Herman was weird. He lost to teams he shouldn’t have but could beat ranked teams. He wasn’t a super recruiter at Texas either.

Texas is in such an odd position as a program. Has any coach gone there since Brown and absolutely dominated in recruiting like you would expect? That program might be even more rotten than Nebraska, and that's saying a lot.

It all went downhill for them after the 2009 season. They should easily have a top 5 class every year if you have a solid recruiter. Mack could bring in the talent.

He took commitments too early and missed out on a lot of QBs from Texas that ended up out of state

Mack would hold their first junior day every year with the top juniors in the state and by the time it was Sunday at 3pm on that weekend he’d be 95% done recruiting for that following year.

aTm to the SEC hurt Texas quite a bit

It will interesting to see what the move to the SEC does for Texas. I mean it's not like A&M is doing anything special. It's pretty much the same old same old coach after coach for them.

I was posting something similar at the same time you were.

It was always amazing how after their first junior day they’d be 95% full.

To a degree but there is so much talent in Texas. It didn’t hurt Briles at Baylor when he was there. Missing on the quarterbacks probably hurt the most and it seemed like Mack had some entitlement issues with players later on during his tenure.

I think he got to a point where he just couldn’t control the kids very well at all. He stepped away and refocused and is now doing well it appears.
