Over the last 3 years we have played 20 teams who ended the season with a winning record and we've only beaten 3 of them - all non-conference, non-BCS teams. No other school outside of Kentucky has performed that poorly over the last 3 years. Maybe that's going to change, I don't know. I give Mullen much credit for building the program, I just question his ability to take the next step. I think he's a good coach, and only a good coach would be able to beat every bad team we play - but this is the SEC and not only should everyone have a good coach, but a very good coach.
Realistically how long do you think it would have taken Saban coming from the Dolphins to MSU to win a NC given our history in football? Or would he?
