Next season to keep his job. (I'm assuming we win 3 to 4 this year)
5

I wasn't upset about the game last night. It is pretty clear that we are in a rebuilding phase. We have pieces, but we have some pretty significant issues with a lack of experience.
We probably win that game if Fitz doesn't trip on the turf monster. BYU is a pretty good team, and we played them to a draw on their turf. Most pundits around the country are giving MSU credit for the effort. Many MSU fans are not.
The rest of the season is going to be like a long spring campaign. We need to identify who is going to play. We need to let those people gain experience. We can be pretty good in 2017 if we just don't let things fall apart this year.
From a fan POV, it would be nice to see us improve this year whether we win games or not. If Fitz gets better and Williams runs better and the young receivers make more plays and the line learns to run block, we can go into 2017 with a pretty positive attitude.

I'll try to make a positive post.
If we win 6 next year, it will mean there's been a massive improvement with every position group.
This team is a freaking mess right now, and has been defensively getting worse since week two. The d-line should be the strength, but is under regression and not getting off blocks and making many tackles. The secondary is just as lost today, as they were in fall camp. It's really hard to believe.
Fitzgerald is young, so I will cut him a little slack, but I'm concerned that he hasn't made any improvement in his short and intermediate passing game. He's our guy next year. He has the task of trying to win on the road at Ruston, Auburn, Athens, Fayetteville and College Station. Some of the home slate offerings are BYU, UMASS, Bama, and LSU.
This year the O-line just can't do it. But we better hope the new starters turn into All-Americans next year, or Mullen may have to start getting the U-haul loaded up at mid season.
Personally, I think Mullen is tired. I don't believe he thinks he can do it anymore, and I don't think he wants this burden on his back. Based on what I've seen this year, from the HC, to the team on the field, 2017 will likely tarnish his good name, and put a shitstain on his tenure at MSU.
I'd rather Dan get hired away post season, and both school and coach can shake hands and smile. Having a coach go away a winner hasn't happened in a long long time in Starkville. This would give us much needed leverage in making the next hire.

Rebuilding year my arse.
Fire Mullen, then we can rebuild. Mullen has been desperate to jump ship these last couple of years, nobody wanted him because they see what I see, now he's gonna go down with the ship.
Our "rebuild" doesn't happen until Mullen is gone.

He's not getting fired. He may leave, but he won't be fired.
