The media members at SEC Media Days were right to question Dan Mullen in the way that they did. But why did they fail to do that for Nick Saban and Butch Jones?
Dan Mullen was rightfully pressed about Jeffery Simmons. It was the right thing for the Bulldogs' head coach to answer for the decision to allow Simmons to join the team and play football with a pretty lenient punishment and short stint in counseling. The folks at SEC Media Days were right to grill him with tough questions about that.
But they failed today. They failed to ask Nick Saban anything more than a few easy, soft questions about pace of play and Lane Kiffin.
