When I think Mullen I think Mullen and the best staff money can buy.

I’m convinced that if we can’t get Gruden (low likelihood we do) we are going to give our next head coach a massive budget for assistants.

I think any shortcomings Mullen may have as a recruiter can be made up for by his staff. And he can sell his success with QBs.

Completely disagree.

Perception of Tennessee is really bad. As someone said, we are viewed as Vandy. A Tennessee offer does not carry the weight it once did. People who think that Tennessee recruits itself I think are missing out on the shift that has happened.

In the SEC, Tennessee is in the company of UK, Vandy, SC, Mizzou... with SC and Mizzou having MUCH more recent success to sell.

Nope. Tennessee was in worse shape in 2012 and an unknown coach from Cincinnati was able to sign highly ranked classes. A well known SEC coach with 10 years in the business and QB's like Tim Tebow and Dak Prescott on his resume will be fine.

I think the total disconnect here is you don't fully realize how tough the Mississippi State job is.

Lol there is no shift. Butch jones had a top 5 class before he sucked this year. Don't listen to someone calling us Vandy because his son didn't get offered to play RB here. butthurt leads to exaggeration

As Thamel said Mullen has raised the perception of that program.

A ton of chatter on the Florida forums this afternoon and tonight that they will be hiring Chip Kelly. They made a run at Scott Frost but were unable to land him since he is waiting for the Nebraska job. They moved onto Chip Kelly and have an agreement in place. Obviously nothing signed yet. National media will start reporting this stuff this week or next week as word gets out.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge!
I thought Kelly didn’t want UF?
Plus, UF looks like a dump right now.

Nice

We’re chasing unicorns, and they are going to get 45 point per game Chip Kelly. I’m sure Mullen would tear him up though

I disagree with this entirely. Tennessee perception wise, although it's taken a hit over these last 10 years or so, is not seen as Vanderbilt. A Tennessee offer still packs a pretty good punch. Just look at how our last two coaches have recruited from a rankings standpoint. Derek freaking Dooley signed a top 10 class and two top 15 classes. Butch Jones signed two top 5's and a couple top 15's. Both garbage coaches in this league. While the Tennessee brand isn't what it has been, it can get back to that fairly quickly when we start winning again. Any college football fan who knows anything is aware of the history and tradition that the Tennesssee football program has.

Believe it when I see it. Just like Gruden to UT.

I have no doubt we can get back, but especially out of state... look at who our commitments are considering along with us.

We don’t win a lot of UGA Bama Florida fights out of state.

We beat USC for Gerald, UK for Shocky... take a closer look.

Instate, yes... this is Tennessee

I am going to go back to the well again...Butch would have won 10 if we hadn't played OU in 2015. Southern Miss, UAB, South Alabama, and UT Martin were on the MSU schedule in 2014. They also played UK and Vandy.

I know we are Tennessee, and it shouldn't matter. But I think for these comparisons, it does matter.

Mullen is our next coach so you better get used to it.
