30 straight running plays worked. He played to his team's strengths and his opponent's weakness. That is how you win. You don't want to win? That's not brilliance, that's no secret formula, that is common sense... "Charlie" wrote: >We've already got a Mullen and his name is Meyer/Adazzi

Thanks for the thorough analysis, Scott. I don't buy your assessment of Mullen, but you make some really good points. In fact, I've recently been remembering how stubborn SOS was when his game plan wasn't working and he would still insist on running it. I'm sure most of us, here, remember how lo

Stacey and others, I know right now that there is a growing envy of Mullen. However, it may well be that Meyer compliments Mullen in a way that Mullen cannot do for himself. According to several articles on Mullen and Meyer that I have read lately, Mullen has a somewhat abrasive personality.
