I agree. Most of our fans understand our program and have the patience to see the long term. A good many of our SEC brethren have a microwave expectation that means I want to win yesterday. State fans understand that in the SEC (aside from Bama currently) things tend to cycle. You are going to have average years, good years and an occasional bad year along with maybe a great year here and there. (More of a crock pot thought process).
Yes, a talent gap exists between State and Bama, LSU, UGA, Aub and Florida. I think Mullen is a good recruiter that has slowly closed the gap with those teams over 8 years. It is a easy to look at a 2 game sample and criticize him for falling short. I think you give credit to UGA and Auburn and move on.
Overall, he has done a great job at MState and has developed some continuity. Future recruiting looks good and odds for success are high over the next several years.
So no, his stock has not crashed. Disappointing losses, Yes but still behind our coach and team going forward.

Assistant Coach continuity specifically D-Coordinator would help. DJ Looney has been great on the recruiting trail. We need to find a way to get 1 more 4 star OL recruit every year and 1 more 4 star WR recruit every year. All other position groups seem to be recruiting fine. We had secondary issues but those should cure themselves pretty quickly. Grantham's schemes do require lockdown corners like Joe Lee's did as well which kinda concerns me. Things are trending positively though. I know O is a good recruiter, but this demise and Dak's fame is hurting him in LA. I'm hoping to poach croots from there and lock down MS. The future is bright. So bright I wear my sunglasses at night.
