Behind in what? Tennessee can compete with just about anyone from a resources standpoint. If you don't already realize that Mullen is a really good coach there's not a lot I can say to convince you. His record speaks for itself. He's about to win 8 or more games for the 5th time at MSU. This will be the 8th time he's taken them to a bowl and he led them to their first ever #1 ranking. It's almost common sense to see that with the resources he would have at Tennessee he would most likely do very well IMO
From a resources standpoint yes, with that logic, then just about any coach could come here and be successful. We are behind as a program. Check the win loss column this year and we may not win another game, while other programs are moving ahead. Top tier talent is not going to look at Mullen coming in and say "yeah, okay, now that HE'S there, I'm gonna commit to UT"...
I know that Mullen is a better coach than Butch from a X's and O's standpoint, but I worry he will not be able to pull recruits while GA SC FL and AL continue to feast. We will be stuck with a solid coach with a roster of 3* that will be average again... You mentioned winning 8 games like that is a ceiling... I am not happy with, and I know most of the fanbase is not happy with 8, or we'd keep the Caretaker and roll the dice. We want someone coming in here that is going to take us to the next level and finally compete for championships, not get us 8 wins and that is what Mullen would do.... more of the same...
