Are we witnessing the golden decade of Mississippi State football (2010-2019)? Previous decades have not been so generous, and we have seen multiple decades of playing in the dark ages.

Mullen 64-39 2010-2017 (didn't include 2009 record 5-7)
Moorhead 8-5 2018-current

Since 2010, 9 straight bowl games, achieved #1 ranking in 2014, the Dak, Orange bowl, 5-2 record since 2010 against Ole Miss (Ole Miss forfeits 2012/2014 wins due to NCAA penalties), 2 star Fitz Sec QB Rushing Record, will most likely make that 10 straight bowl games and a 6-2 record against Ole Miss, list goes on...

2019 and beyond, I believe Moorhead can continue this type of success. Hopefully, we'll have a season that tops 2014 in the next 3-5 years. He'll most likely run into bigger name suitors like Mullen did and possibly leave at the right time and right program (Penn St? Pittsburg Pirates..jk). I hope Moorhead becomes our Frank Beamer (VTech) or David Cutcliffe (Duke), but given the short shelf life of coaching, those coaches are few and far in between. Freeze could have been Ole Miss' Beamer, but we all know that back story. Clemson got lucky with Dabo (till he leaves for Bama). If Moorhead were to move on like Mullen, I don't want to see us fumbling around like Tennessee, Ole Miss, and Arkansas looking for that flash in the pan coach (Bobby Petrino/Hugh Freeze anybody?) that wind up doing more long term damage to a program than short term glory. I don't know if our Frank Beamer is one day Dak Prescott at the head coaching realm or another unknown player or coach who bleeds maroon. However, let us all enjoy this past decade and upcoming season, and we might be surprised with a 10-3 or 9-4 type of year with Moorhead at the helm. We have the talent just need the right play calling, execution ("do your job"), and ball to bounce our way for such a season. Hail State!

I would have less than zero interest in an ex MSU player becoming our head coach unless they had completely earned that position through a career in coaching.

Agree with part of original post and also agree with shotgun. I am all for Dak as head coach (love the boy) but only if qualified or we run into what Bama did for so long when they kept hiring the wrong guy because the main qualification was a tie to the Bear.
Now, as far as the “Golden Decade” is concerned... we are definitely in it. I for one believe we can keep this level of greatness/competency up. The reason we have a better chance of not bottoming out like TN for example is we have a longer leash. We have a better grip on reality and will be fine with 7-8 wins most years knowing that if you can be consistent in that range, the 10-11 win (and more) season is more likely. I believe this can be the new normal.
