I would agree with you if Coney knew Mueller was going to get the job or if he actually did the appointing. Why would Rosenstein appoint someone who is apparently very close friends with Comey? You'll have to ask him.
DC is a big small town. Lots of people know each other and are friends or acquaintances.
If Trump agrees with you, he can fire Mueller, and Rosenstein will appoint someone else. However, in my opinion, he doesn't dare.
I personally think Mueller is honorable, and both "sides" could do much worse.
