In the freaking Big East. Not one bit more impressed by that than I am what Mullen has done.

Rutgers had averaged 3 wins per season for decades before Schiano got there. He got them to 6 bowls in 10 years won 5 of them....

That's not impressive?

Same was said of franklin. Miss state is harder to recruit and faces tougher competition than Vandy. Every time Mississippi state faces an sec opponent they're playing superior talent.

Oh yeah, those incredible academic standards down there Starkville. Way more difficult to recruit there than at Vandy.

It is. But not anymore than the results that Mullen has achieved in a league where there has been a team from his division play in the championship game in six of his 8 years. 7 of 8 if you count the year Bama played LSU.

Yea but don't forget
1. Mississippi is a state that's LOADED with talent

2. Good players want to play in the SEC and easier to recruit to a SEC school

3. Schiano talked players into going to New Jersey!!!

So much more impressive what Schanio did

At RUTGERS!

Most of his losses came from building them up from their annual 2 win per season teams

Is .504 mediocrity or not?

What he did at Rutgers is no different than what Mullen did at another traditional doormat, with one glaring exception - Schiano went .504 in maybe the worst conference ever, while Mullen has gone slightly better than .600 in probably the toughest division in at least the modern history of football.

And you claimed MS is a hotbed for recruiting, while statistics shows that the state of NJ has typically produced more D1 talent.

I agree the SEC west has been murderous

But other SEC west teams are talking about firing their coaches with much better results than Mullen has

Although now that Tennessee fired Butch Jones dan Mullen has no challengers to his league worst record vs the top 25

New Jersey has probably produced as much talent as the state of MS over the last 10-12 years . Penn State has recruited a number of 4 stars. 2 years ago they had the number 1 overall player and number 1 DT QB (Gary and Guarantano).

it's at least as impressive as a guy that took the 2nd worst program in SEC history, a barely above .500 program over it's history, a .300 program in conference, that went 11 years in between finishing a seaason ranked, in any poll, to 7 straight bowls, won 5, 3 top 25 finishes and improved the recruiting rank average 15 spots nationally.

oh, and has 2 natty's, 1 #1 overall pick QB, 1 ROY NFL QB, and 1 heisman winning qb as a coach/oc.

if you're going to use context for GS, and not DM, then i'd say you're probably related to GS.

How’d Mullen do today against the Tennessee of the West?

Well they won. If you're here to criticize the method they won in, then you might want to remember that the number 1 team in the country won in about the exact same circumstances last week.

I am sick of seeing people be so negative on these threads. Why is it so hard for anyone to believe that getting Gruden is a pipe dream? He was and would still be a great coach. I have two children that have grown up not knowing what it is like to support a winning Tennessee team, so they show very little interest in watching the games. I want them to know how it felt when we won the NC! I have full faith in the people involved making sure that they bring in a top tier coach that we all can support. This is a new era for the Vols and I believe that this is finally the turning point that we have been wishing for. I am a 100% Gruden believer, but even if it isn't him I don't see it being a "google my name coach." We are UT! We are relevant and I truly believe that we are a job that many top tier coaches want! We need to quit feeling sorry for ourselves because we will soon be the team we were in the 80's and 90's! Believe in the process and believe in our VOLS! Gruden to the Hill!!! Go VOLS!

I also look at Dan Mullen's VERY LIMITED success at Miss St like Butch Jones' back to back 9 win seasons.....

Looks good on paper

But we all know if he was a better coach it should have been so much better......

Mullen will load up on cupcakes to pad stats too
