My point is made then. With an identical schedule they are superior with Mullen.
Mullen would go from having the least talented team in the strongest division in football to having talent on talent in a much weaker east. He would win. Quickly.
I'd rather them hire Herman.
Neither are ideal for us.

This your argument when talking about a hire for a top 5 job in America?
Not really sure I care. My point is the schedule is still easier, and they have only been playing the permanent opponent for 23 years. MSU has won 16 of the 23, and Mullen has 7.
I agree that Mississippi State is a tough job in the west, but just like Franklin did at Vandy, Mullen has bolstered his record with a weak out of conference schedule along with UK as a permanent opponent. This year, he also got Missouri. It's all about timing. Missouri was a different team the last 2 years.
I like this point for this year. The man is still a fantastic coach and a proven one.
