    Do you think Mullen would be doing much better with our team than Pruitt is at this point ? He’s impressed me at Florida. I know nobody likes and he’s a goober but I’m just talking coaching jobs here. He’s done pretty well IMO.

    Maybe the question I’m really asking is do you wish we would have gotten Mullen instead of Pruitt.

    No, wish we would have got Gary Patterson way back when.

    I don’t really care if a guy is a goober or not if he can coach. Every situation is different, though, and I don’t know how to say he’d be doing here. As bad as McElwain was we’ve had about 10 years of worse. Even Muschamp was better than what we’ve had

    He was never coming here so it’s a moot point. The only way we could’ve hired him was if Chip Kelly or Scott Frost had taken the Florida job.

    He was coming here if Florida hadn’t called him. At least by all counts I’ve read. He stopped taking our calls when Florida called.

    Was Florida’s roster that much better (or any better) than ours when he took over ?

    A look at NFL draft picks at Uf vs UT over last 2-3 years would show the talent

    Tennessee was leverage. He was leaving MSU for someone, he knew UF was going to come open so he kept an offer in his pocket from Tennessee until Frost and Kelly said no.

    Yes, especially on the defensive side.

    UF is going to be incredibly thin next season on the oline and all over their defense. They lost 40% of their 2019 recruiting class and their 2018 recruiting class wasn't great.

    Feel like I've been reading this for three consecutive years.

    I can't stand him but he has done a better job than I expected he would. He is Butch 2.0 but with some actual knowledge of football.

    He knows how to set up mismatches based on defensive alignment and how to move the sticks.

    Good coach and motivator but what about recruiting and managing the roster? Mullen's personality has to turn off recruits and their families.

    I have always heard that Tebow will privately tell people about his disdain for Mullen dating back to his UF days.

    None of the other coaches lost nearly half a signing class with a hard 25 limit

    The hard 25 is going to have to change.

    I’m sure it will change the instant Tennessee football becomes relevant again.
