It wouldn't be a terrible hire, but if we're at that point, something has gone disastrously wrong during the coaching search process.

I don't know why Mullen would be better than Fedora

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's a top choice imo.

The right DC and a little talent is all he needs to compete in the West.

We got that

Mullen hates to recruit and puts little effort. He's had 2 QBs carry his career and Mediocre at best. State fans don't like him anymore and wish he would leave.

I think Dan Mullen peaked with 2014 MSU. I don't think he's a bad coach, but I don't think he's good enough to lead a team to be a perennial contender. Honestly MSU is the perfect place for him, where 8-4 is considered a success.

He's gonna finish last place in the West this year? He's basically Gene Chizik who had a State version of Cam Newton and also never really won anything meaningful. Will that do it? I'd rather have not fired Miles and I've been one of the biggest supporters of his firing.

Apparently, he is difficult to deal with.

He had really one good stretch of two years when Dak was QB.

He was OC at Florida and when they were replacing Muschamp, he didn't even get looked at (unspoken issues maybe).

Lastly, he is an offense guy and sometimes his offenses look pretty damn bad.

I'd be fine with Dan Mullen as a "settle for" candidate if we can't get Herman, Fisher, Petrino, etc. and assuming O did not do enough to keep the job.

With this recruiting base, I think he could win big here.
