Mullen is one of the best X's and O's coaches in America. He just doesn't have the talent of the Alabama's and LSUs

Closer to the top than the bottom. It is not easy to recruit at MSU, but he is starting to show that he can coach up the talent that he has been getting the last few years.

Mullen has definitely done more with less and I think he is a good coach. His problem is recruiting potential at MSU. Coaches are measured by championships; win your division, win the SEC and then win the NC. I'm not convinced that Mullen can do any of those things at MSU in the West division of the SEC. MSU is setup with a home schedule that might yield a 10 win season but they will finish at best 3rd in the West after losing to Bama and LSU. Mullen will be at a crossroads at some point in his career. He will either accept mediocrity at MSU or move on to another coaching gig with more potential. Spurrier, Richt, Saban and Miles have all been fortunate to be at schools with fertile recruiting potential.

I would put him at about five, but i wouldn't want richt. I can't see him being that successful in starkville and the ole ball coach is old. We aren't getting miles or Saban, so merlins is perfect.

His best team was 9 wins, but you're going to ask if he deserves top 3 over coaches who have won a NC? Lol

I wouldn't want him at AU. Not that I really want Chizik either. I'd take Saban, Miles, Richt, and Spurrier above him. Chizik, Mullen, Sumlin, Pinkel, Franklin and Muschamp would be a wash. Dooley, Freeze, Phillips and Smith would be last.

Now, hold on. Top 3 in what category?

SEC coaches that most resemble a 1920s horror movie character? #1 by far.

Coaching? No way.
