How is 7-6 a losing season? Alabama 2007 Schedule - Crimson Tide Home and Away - ESPN
Which he followed up with a top recruiting class.
Saban also didn't have a 33-39 conference record when they hired him. Instead he had conference championships and a NC.
If we had hired a champion, I'm sure everyone would be more likely to pretend we may have hired the next Nick Saban.
Not concerned with Mullen's conference record, but I agree with the recruiting issues. That really is my only concern. If we are following this season with an exciting upcoming recruiting class, then I think we all can stomach a mediocre season. I just don't see the recruiting level that we need so far. The only difference though is I think Mullen can get our field performance up to our recruiting rank, unlike butters. If we have consistent top 15 ranked class, I think we will start seeing a top 15 performance in 2 years. It won't buy us any championships though with the way our rivals are recruiting, but at least it would turn the ship around... I hope.
