re: Can you talk me out of thinking Dan Mullen wouldn't be a bad choice?

A. He only has a winning record against 2 SEC West teams Ole Miss (4-3) and Ark (4-3), soon to be no SEC West teams after this season

B. His records are ALWAYS bolstered by the fact they routinely play the WORST non-conf. schedule in the SEC. In 8 years, MSU has played exactly ONE (1) ranked OOC opponent in the regular season. ONE! It also doesn't hurt when your cross-division rival is Kentucky (whom he hasn't lost to)

C. He's had ONE winning conf. record in 8 years.

The planets aligned for MSU in 2014. In addition to racking up 4 wins against powerhouses such as S. Miss, UAB, S. Alabama, UT-Martin, he scored to "HUGE" SEC wins against UK and Vandy along with beating a 2-6 Ark. team, a 3-5 A&M team, and the worst LSU team since 2008. His best win was against a 4-4 Auburn team.

It's been 8 years. He's still at MSU for a reason. Sure he's done better than Sylvester Croom, but is that what LSU wants? Someone who is better than Croom? Hell, he's not even the best coach in the state of Mississippi. If we are going to get someone from MS, get Hugh Freeze. He's 3-1 vs. Mullen and 2-2 against Saban.

Thanks, but no thanks Dan. We've already had a coach who was "almost" good at a lesser SEC program (Dinardo)

Wrong... Dak had them @ #1

Who recruited Dak?

Was it a coincidence that Dak was a perfect fit for Mullen's offense?

No, but have a downvote for thinking this.

here was a short time where he had Mississippi St. as the #1 ranked team in the country

Go back and look at how that season went. It was complete fools gold. MSU was unranked until they beat a vastly overrated #8 LSU team (his only win ever against Miles); The next week they beat #6 A&M who turned out to also be vastly overrated. He then beat #2 Auburn which was a good win...until AU tanked and went 3-4 the rest of the season.

Basically MSU hit a three game stretch of overrated teams in late Sept/early Oct which catapulted them to #1. They stayed there for a bit by playing nobody until they lost to Bama and Ole Miss in Nov.

2014 MSU was basically 2015 LSU. A team that took advantage of what turned out to be a pretty weak schedule to attain a very high ranking (#2 for LSU) that was really a mirage once the good opponents popped up on the schedule.

Dak Prescott is the only thing good about Dan Mullen's career. Unless Dak is coming with Dan to LSU, you could do much much better. His offensive playbook contains about 4 plays. You need a leviathan QB to pull it off. Also, with Dak, he only beat his in state rival one time.

He got hired at state because he had Tebow and he still has a job at state because of Dak. He hasn't done anything worth while at state before and now after Dak. So no I don't want him.

---

Is Miss State you fricking dork. What did you expect him to do?

If you think he is what LSU needs then know we cannot talk you out of it

quote:

---

I think he'd be a solid hire. I don't understand all the hate thrown his way. He's done a great job at State and one would think, with the resources LSU could provide him, he'd do an even better here. And the guy is from the Meyer coaching tree that everyone seems to be enamored with

---

No No. The rant would rather critique Mullen's every loss but overlook Coach O's terrible 3-21 SEC record. Many of whom want him to be the HC if he does really well.

Mullen coached under Meyer longer than Herman. There is a reason Meyer kept him around so long.

So have Billy Gonzales and Greg Studwara
