If he goes 9-3 that will tell us what? That he can't beat teams with equal or better talent, that he sucks as a recruiter, at building a staff, and at building or managing a roster, and that there's no chance of competing for any championships as long as ol' numbnuts is in the HC's office? I can tell you that already. Next.
I very clearly stated that the post was going to be more optimistic...;):D
Yours is the realist response: Mullen is a terrible recruiter and while he's slightly better than most coaches at schemes/development, he's always going to have a low ceiling because of that fact.
I'd take 9-3 or 10-2 as an alternative to 7-5 or 6-6 though: we finish with that record and we're likely a top 10 to top 15 team. That's where we need to stay at in order to even stay within striking distance of where we want to be.
