A couple of reasons.
- Mullin has the most talent in the Big East and is currently 3-5 with the next three games on the road at Marquette, Creighton and Duke. Mullin has to win at both Creighton and Marquette to just get to 500 in big East play ( He won’t). He needed this win to mitigate the damage of this road trip.
- The new AD that SJU hired from Duke has absolutely no loyalty to Chris Mullin and has full autonomy over the program ( our last AD was a puppet), Mike Craft has said this team needs to be an NCAA team or else (Mullin will not get us there).
- The alumni are getting frustrated and the biggest Donors... billionaire Mike Repole, The Pittsburgh Steelers co-owner and other high level executives are losing their patients.
He’s done.
