Behind Saban. Amazing how many coaches have come and gone since Mullen was hired.

Mullen is possibly the most underrated coach in America based on what he's done with the limited resources he has had to work with.

He hasn't done anything to be rated any differently.


Just saw the other thread about his extension. I see now you are just trying to make lemonade out of the lemons your AD has just announced.

I think he's pretty properly rated. People consistently talk about what a good coach he is, and he is. Honestly, I think he sometimes get a bit too much praise and fawning. He's a very solid coach and State has done a great job keeping him around.

State could be set up to have another good run at winning the SEC in 2019 and I wouldn't sleep on them this coming season. They can beat any other team in the conference. They will struggle with LSU and Bama because they just don't quite have the receiver corps to go against the safeties those two teams have so their passing game will be somewhat limited by that, but don't fool yourself into thinking there is no way they could win either of those games.

Fitz is gonna be good. Dan has proven he can develop a QB. Out of all the QBs in the SEC, he is the one I worry about the most. If he had the line Bama does, he'd be unstoppable.

Didn't he get national coach of the year in 14? He makes $4+ mm a year. Not sure how you consider him underrated.

He's also 2-32 against teams that finished ranked.

He's done more in his short time than all of 0le Miss' coaches have done in the last 70 years.

I'll allow it.

Saban has ran off so many good coaches in the SEC. State, for the most part, has the most realistic expectations for their program which is why they've kept Mullen around for so long despite his abysmal record against the upper tier of the SEC.
