How long should it take Mullen, or any other coach, to make us better than mediocre? Mullen inherited a 3 win team and has turned us in to mediocre. I seem to remember even the ol ball coach taking several years to get SC better than 6 or 7 wins. I'm not making excuses for Mullen I'm just saying I think it takes longer than 5 years to from 3 wins to beating top 15 teams.
