1) Won 7 his first year

In Mullens first year
1 went 5-6 against #1 SoS with last second losses to LSU and AU, the eventual NC
2. Meh
3. Mullen beat OM's greatest team ever in 09. Who did Freeze beat that worth a shite?

To be honest though, #1 and 3 were due a lot to outside circumstances (Arkansas and Auburn being worse than they've been in a long time) while Mullen had the #1 hardest schedule in the country so it isn't really comparable.

#2 is a legit accomplishment by Freeze
