Miss st 8 wins in 2007

[KevinCaneFace]

As mentioned numerous times, the coach before Mullen went 21-38 (10-30) over 5 seasons. He averaged 4.2 wins per year and 2 wins in the SEC per year. MSU is a cesspool.

Yeah we get that. MSU is a cesspool. So, again, what has he done to make you think he can develop a top ten program and compete for championships?

What did Jimmy do to make us think he could win championships? He only had ONE eight win season at Ok State. Not saying Mullen is the next great coach but you also can't openly dismiss the guy just because he's teams are average at a historically BAD program

I'll make a list of all the answers that evade the question:

1. Mississippi State is a cesspool
2. Jimmy Johnson did great things

So, again, what has Dan Mullen done to make you think he can develop a top ten program and compete for championships?

I am not sure that I am clear about this, so one more time. He isn't my first choice, I just prefer him over the others that are recently named (Butch, Richt and Schiano).

He had MSU ranked at #1 for 4 weeks. He made a BCS bowl, won 10 games during the regular season and finished the season #1 1/12 at MSU. I rather go with the 43 year old coach, who is at a bad program and is having "success".

Thank you for at least attempting to answer the question. We can disagree that one decent season in year 6 points to success at the highest level, but at least it's something.

He was the OC of two national championships so his offense works. He is aggressive and hungry. But most importantly, he's better than Schiano. I'd rather take the risk on Mullen. He is a good coach. Could he win championships? Not sure, there's only about five coaches out there that have proved they can win a championship so who knows on any of these guys. Do I think Mullen can make us relevant? Yes. That's the first step to getting championships.

I think you really have to understand what MSU is/was to college football. If you think they're capable of going out and grabbing a coach and doing better, that is one thing. If you think they should be doing better right now, that is another thing.

I see a program that was awful (I think the evidence is pretty clear) and I see a coach hitting the ceiling at MSU more than hitting his personal ceiling. I think if he had better talent, he would get better results. I also think that at 43 he probably will get a little better (more so on assembling a staff).

Given that select group of names, I am for Mullen.

Didn't mean to upvote this. Mullen is average as ****. To all of those that are trying to explain away his record, please explain then what you all are seeing to indicate that he is indeed a good/great coach.

Nick Saban had a 58% winning percentage at Michigan State. Mullen has a 61% winning percentage at Mississippi State. If it was up to you stupid *** fans LSU would've never hired Saban. You need a little bit of vision to find the next big thing at coaching. Somebody needs to save this stupid *** fanbase that's stuck in 1999 from themselves.

You mean like the same vision that got Al Golden the gig here after turning Temple around you clown?

Hey, Kiffen hasn't shown squat as a head coach but maybe we should show some vision and hire him anyway so hopefully he can get it together like Saban while he's here. Hey, who needs evidence right? We've got VISION baby!

Give me a break. Vision. Pfft. Like YOU know what the **** you're looking at.

I'm sorry. When did Mullen ever have the best talent in his conference and still fail to win it like Golden and Kiffin failed to win? Mississippi State is the NC State of the SEC. No history and no funding compared to what they have to compete with. They're not even a top 5 option in their own division. They're the second option in the own state most cases. Nobody in that conference has done less with more than Mullen.

Honest question, when you say Mullen has done more with less what specifically are you refering to? I legitimately would like to know what in his coaching resume/recrecord can you poInt to to make this case? In what areas has he made dramatic improvement to the program he inherited? Does inheriting a program with little to no tradition of winning excuse his poor record against quality opponents and stagnation 7 years into his tenure? What are the intangibles you see in Mullen that makes you see beyond his record at MSU?

I made that post at 3 in the morning. I actually meant to put more with less. My mistake. I was trying to make the point that he's working with a major disadvantage money wise, and talent wise compared to other schools in his own division.
