BOT

He lost to South Alabama last year...

There is no reason for a good coach at a SEC school to do that in year 8

That's what I thought after the '96 Memphis game. Then 2 conference titles and a national championship happened and I got over it.

I think I saw a UK guy say recently that UK is 1-8 against Mullen so those may be 2015 numbers...

...or just a screw up in the article.

I don't think they've updated the football facility since 05. The stadium is next to last in capacity ahead of only Vandy.

They are dropping a huge chunk on baseball.

It’s hard for me to quantify that into wins. I feel like winners win and losers make excuses for why they aren’t winning. Hell, I’ve made excuses for Butch because I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt even though I knew losing to Vandy twice probably meant his days were numbered.

I think Mullen would be a good hire, but I have questions. Then again, that can be said about every candidate on the board.

I think you are conflating "rebuilding."
UTs program when Dooley left had to be completely rebuilt. Everything, from the academic support to the locker room. Losing players is going to happen in college to EVERY program. So, every team is doing that. If you are equating that to those you mention, you are smoking crack.

So you are saying our next coach will inherit the same situation and program that Butch did? I don’t think I’m the one smoking crack.

That is just not true.....

Jackie Sherrill won bigger at Mississippi state

Played in SEC championship game under him.

He had to cheat to do so. Also, your saying that Sherrill beating the west is 98 is equavilent of the West today shows your football acumen.

Dan Mullen has also had what 8 defensive coordinators in his 9 years there.....

Dan Mullen has so many of the same issues that Butch Jones has.

People don't want to coach for him.
Looses games vs the top 25
Coaches games scared
Blows leads in games.....

Please no dan Mullen
I cannot stomach Butch 2.0

False. He’s had 4.

I get that, Freak, but the question begs ' what do you consider winning at a place like MSU?' Because I would argue he likely exceeded the expectations of both the school and fanbase, based on the history the history of the program. So the guy has won big considering what MSU had as a measuring stick. To the fans of traditional SEC powers it may not seem SEC special, but he has won at a place that hard historically been very hard to break .500, and he has had to do so in a division that had a run of dominance that was unparalled. To be able to swim in those shark-infested waters at a doormat program and keep your head above water is a feat, IMO.

Maybe Mullen is doing "well" at MSU because he's the only decent coach who has stayed there for more than a couple of years.

What's his buyout? And how much are we going to have to pay him?
