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.
The last time TN was worth a damn recruits were in kindergarten. TN is irrelevant now. They are a middle of the pack East team at best. They won't see the top 10 again for a long time.
