You think Mullen will ever beat Saban? I'm with Law on this one. I don't see him ever getting over that hump so we are just spinning our wheels until the inevitable. The worst thing about the 12 team playoff might be Nads can go from being touted as always getting a NY6 game, to usually making the playoffs, as if it is some great achievement to finish in the top 12, and we could be stuck with him as long as SS is here.Well, I don't know that asking the perennial worst Western program to beat what has become an absolute beast under Saban is the best judge of a coach's worthiness either. I still think that Mullen's biggest flaw is/was staying there as long as he did. It made zero sense. At the latest 2014 should've been his final year. But I do agree that one or two wins mean little. Nutt and Tubberville both beat Meyer at home with Tebow and Harvin. I want neither.
As I've said, we can(or at least should be able to) do better than both. When your UAA is infected with garbage mindsets, this is what you get. Anyone want to guess who we get if Mullen says no in 2017? I'll always be thankful that he said yes and spared us from a Knoxville type disaster.
I'll give Law some credit on his list. I don't like Malzahn but do agree he was never given due praise for what he did during Alabama's run. Those wins should've garnered a lot more attention.
