We won more Championships under mullen than any other coach in our history. Yes. It was time for a change for both parties. But he promised championships and delivered.
State Championship of Mississippi 3 times.
Egg Bowl Championship 5 times.
Bowl Game Championships 5 times.
Yes, he re-built a program that had floundered from 2001 to 2008. His teams averaged nearly 8 games per year in his 9 years. No other coach with that long of a tenure at MSU can bost that. He had 2 losing seasons, his first, then the Academically earned bowl year, but ran off 8 straight bowl seasons. There are more accolades, but I’ll stand pat. I am glad he is gone because his stic had gotten stale. But if you expect 9 and 10 win seasons to be the norm rather than the exception as long as MSU plays in the toughest division in all of college football, you gonna be disappointed. 6 should always be the floor. Anything above 8 including a bowl win should be considered a very good season. A 10 win season will be an exceptional season!!
