The question stands, I guess with all natural pessimist, Do you ever get tired of being wrong?
To Swonkey, it's the wrongs that give him rights.
It's his personal pillslopity, & standard Gator fans are who this pill slops. Pity.
Still, the raw (true) data points out = better recruit class makes for the most wins, the most championships.
Excellent coaching, best practicing, superb S & C, etc can pull up some bootstraps. This season we've seen it work.
Not Mullen, not his crew, no our Gator players are gonna throw up their hands in pre-defeat, in dispair because the staff missed on certain recruits. Gators fight in playing each game.
So, year after year of poor recruiting could cost Mullen his dream job. I don't think he will allow that.
Still, I think Mullen relies on "on-field proof" to design his honorable (truth-laden) recruit pitches. In due time his Gators will contend with the CFB best - in wins, in trophies. Impatience is everybody's torment - a process different souls endure in panic unto calmness. We just have to endure that too.
