It?s not just the culture. It?s hard as hell to recruit to that place and all of the states that surround Tennessee have programs which are doing well. Butch Jones put all of his effort into recruiting and could only get it consistently to a top 15 profile. And he lived and breathed recruiting. He also recruited a lot of prima donnas in doing that as well. Personally, I don?t think Mullen would do well there because by the time he got his guys in he would probably be fired. Their best bet IMO would be Fuentes or Petrino. I don?t see any other coaches other then the two I mentioned really being successful there.
