Mullen has improved Mississippi State in every aspect possible, and all I have read on here lately is how is a horrible recruiter. I think he has done a pretty good job in the past two years.

2009 5-7 (3-5)
2010 9-4 (4-4) Won the Gator Bowl

What are you guy's expectations for Mullen at Mississippi State? I think he has has earned the grade Im giving him.

C+

He still finished 5th in the West in 2009

He signed the worst recruiting class in the West in 2011 as well

I'll be shocked if he is still in Starkville after this season.

I'd say a B+. Not really his fault in the recruiting IMO. Hudspeth left for a HC gig and was pretty much the best recruiter on staff. Noticed several of the guys MSU was recruiting, 3* variety, wound up at ULL with Hud.

considering it was state, how much better could the guy have done? He's getting his system players now.

i'm glad to see the results (as long as you don't beat us on thurday)

He's done well on the field, but his lack of recruiting success has to be a concern. Nutt continues to beat him in-state, and whiler Nutt has many shortcomings he can put together solid teams from time to time. You can't expect Ole Miss to be 4-8 forever.
