The way his team didn’t give up down 21-3 in the first quarter was the most impressive thing. People say he’s purely and Xs and Os kinda guy. Then people are critical of his people skills (usually includes recruiting) and finish with “therefore he’s an NFL coach.”
I disagree. I think he’s goofy as f, and the guy clearly can’t recruit. So he’s bad at first impressions. But, the players on his team seem to really respect him. His teams play mentally tough even when they fall behind. He doesn’t strike me as a rah-rah guy at all, but he seems to extract maximal effort from his players dating back to MSU. I’m not sure this particular skill translates to NFL, and it’s one of his best.
Now that I’m done saying all that, seriously, how is he be so damn bad at recruiting?

Thing one gives him credit for…we have had almost zero off the field incidents when Mullen is here. He has cleaned up the massive issues we had off the field and that’s a big thing for me. I had a hard time cheering for some of the guys on Meyer’s teams.
