Important dates for Mullen and his eventual crew. It took Coach Odom 34 days to put his staff together (with the Petrino fiasco). At the time I thought that was fast but looking at the dates below Mullen I hope Mullen can get his Coordinators and assistants in faster than that. Last I looked Barry already flipped 5 of our recent recruits.
