Odom. The fact that he has won a single game at perennial bottom-feeder Missouri is impressive

Jimbo and Moorhead have been the worst. Both had lots of talent but somehow regressed significantly

A&M still looks like A&M. Blowing leads and being inferior.

Based on those numbers, Dan Mullen improved his team the most during his first year and it's not even close. Pruitt and Fisher have also improved their teams tremendously. If I have to rank them, it would be:

1) Mullen
2) Pruitt
3) Fisher
4) Moorhead
5) Morris

Moorehead tried to take a running qb and pass the ball more than not. It took him 3 losses to figure this out.

Pruitt....could've easily lost that team after the UF and UGA games.

Mullen was working with much more talent.

I think Pruitt just for the win total thus far vs. mess of a program he inherited. UT got off to a slow start under his tenure but they look more improved every week, so he's purging the losing mentality.

Mullen is a close second and would edge out Pruitt if he didn't inherit a program with a better roster that was somewhat familiar with his system. He should probably be #1 because he's already gotten 3 more wins than last season's total, but 7-3 at UF isn't exactly a miracle.

Unfortunately Morris at UofA comes in dead last on the list. We don't consider him a failure just yet because of the giant mess of a roster - built for a system completely different than his - that he inherited from Bert, but Arkansas fans are quickly becoming apathetic. The team has showed glimpses of promise here and there and most of us believe he'll be decent if he can bring in some skill players on offense, particularly a playmaker at QB.

There's still no good excuse for THIS bad of a season, especially losses to CSU and North Texas as well as the collapse against OM. He'll get 3 years to get it figured out or face getting fired since AR expanded the stadium recently.

Mullen although it doesn't feel overwhelming.

Much more? I completely disagree. We have Sun Belt level talent starting at several positions. Safety, DT, and QB. To be specific. We aren’t that much more talented than Tennessee everywhere outside of RB, and CB.

I think it's easily Pruitt.

Mullen. He has done it with the worst quarterback in the SEC.

You are forgetting that Mullen is not a rookie head coach! He should not count! MSU and UT head coaches are first timers! That is not easy to get things done with no head coach experience.
