Sorry for misreading what you wrote--apologies for that.
What you clearly said was this: "he wasn't even given a chance on Day 1 from 90% of the people on here."
That is also absurd. It's not as absurd as my misrepresentation of what you wrote, but it's absurd.
All good my friend and perhaps you're right, although absurd is a pretty strong word. I would have been offended 20 years ago before I became an "old man". LOL How about this, I feel strongly that Mullins gets the benefit of the doubt due to his name, his history here, etc significantly more than former coach. To be clear, I loved Mullins when he played here. I was beyond ecstatic when he was hired (in part bc of Barkeep-lol) and I STILL THINK he has the potential to do big things with this program.
I also, however, am concerned about the near future of the program. Our 2 best players are going to be seniors and the cupboard is not full to replace them when they are gone (I am aware they MAY come back after next season). And while this team CAN be near the top of the conference as soon as next season, multiple things would have to fall into place for that to happen. Like you, and every other non-troller on this board, I want go get back to WINNING. When Mullins was hired I envisioned this team winning and then getting highly sought after recruits which would not only allow them to win more but to sustain that success to become one of the dominant Mid Majors in the Midwest like we were back when I was younger.
On a final note, it's all in the name of Love for my alma mater. Peace Brother
You're a great poster. Thanks for ALL of your contributions here. Take care, friend.
