Rest assured, if you have 85 SEC caliber football players on your roster, there is ALWAYS going to be a portion of those that don't have much character. Football is not a 'gentleman's game'.
It's both.
You have to find the balance of making sure your locker room is one of character while adding talent to that without tipping the scale on the culture of good character.
Bad apples will adapt to their environment. So, if you create a culture of high character, you can take on bad Apples and they'll be fine.
That's the crime of Joe. He ruined the culture. Mullen built a good culture and that made some risky character guys have success
