There will always be rumblings at SIU to replace a coach. I do think Mullins had a good season based upon what the preseason prognosticators expected SIU to finish, but I don't think anyone expected Xavier Johnson to be the player he was this year either.
IMO, with X, it seems SIU should have fared better than they did this season. There were some extremely disappointing losses after blowing huge leads this year, and let's face it, the Murray State W was lucky. If Mullins stays, fine; if he goes, fine. I can see both sides with him at the lead.
I know that Marcus Domask had a great career at SIU, and I didn't expect him to stay, but when you see what he is doing at Illinois this season it makes me wonder if he was even used correctly at SIU. Should they have gotten more out of him?
I think these parts put Mullins into a tough predicament.
