Mullen may not have won the SECW, but that?s because other teams raised their ceilings too.
Jackie got us an SEC West title and a Cotton Bowl. For the first time in modern history- we showed we could compete. We beat Bama one time in the 36 years before Jackie arrived. He beat them 4 times in the span of 7 years- not to mention us getting screwed in 1999.
Jackie evened up the Egg Bowl rivalry and set it on its ear for the 1st time since the 1940's.
It's kind of like being Led Zeppelin. They are great and people look to them as one of the best ever- but there are people now that are doing extraordinary music now as well. The difference? Zeppelin was the 1st to show people it could be done. Blazed the trail. Without Jackie- there is no Mullen.
Walk like the King or walk like you don't care who the King is
