Dan Mullen's showing at South Carolina is irrelevant because he already took an 'L' this week

In the movie “Hoosiers,” Hickory coach Norman Dale’s pre-state championship pep talk famously included the line “if you put your effort and concentration into playing to your potential, to be the best that you can be, I don’t care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game, in my book we’re gonna be winners.”
I think a variation of that applies to Dan Mullen this week, only I would make a slight tweak to that quote.
“I don’t care what the scoreboard says at the end of the (South Carolina) game, in my book, you’re gonna be a loser.”
By Monday afternoon, Mullen had already lost this week. It doesn’t matter if his team goes out and hangs half a hundred in Columbia. Add his latest foot-in-mouth debacle to the file of “reasons Mullen might not be the answer.”
In case you somehow missed it, Mullen was asked about recruiting at his Monday press conference. He said “we’re in the season right now. We’ll do recruiting after the season. When it gets to recruiting time, we can talk about recruiting.”
