re: Is this Mullen’s make or break year?

It's not make or break for anyone this year. Just get through the season and prep for next year imo.

I think you're right... and take it the next step:

get through this season BY prepping for next year.

Everybody gets to keep their eligibility, right? And it's not a normal season- like I said, Alabama can lose a bunch of games and nobody will care, it's the "crazy covid year". The big thing will be who resurfaces in 2021.

So treat this year like an extended NFL preseason, build the shite out of your depth, and come back loaded next year. I mean, frick, if you are willing, you can come back with an entire "freshman" class with 10 games real-time experience. Sophomores too.
If you happen to have some draft-ready players coming out soon, get them some highlight plays, but don't focus on them too much. The season's fricked up anyway, make the best of it for the program.

I know it will be hard to do it, but some team will, I bet, and come out ahead.

Would you rather win this year, or win next? I'd say focus on the real season coming up, next year.
