College football is a business. Mullen's impact on the bottom line has to be considered along with on field results. Without the consistent winning he has produced, we have no stadium expansion, and attendance and giving to the bulldog club would be nowhere near where they are. I remember clearly what things were like during the late Jackie/Croom years. He has impacted far more than what happens on the field. He is a known quantity and a sound investment.
I remember those days clearly as well. But to be fair, Mullen has always operated at the helm with a whole lot more revenue for us to spend. Ever read the book "Outliers"?
