He can't win the big game. He wont adapt his offense to fit our players.
Why does he continue to run a 150lb TB up the middle? Why is our best RB not getting any carries. Why does Dan think we can run up the middle vs stout D-lines?
We will never beat Saban or win the West under Mullen. Freeze beat Bama 2 years in a row. Think about that.
Dan has only beaten 1 team that finished ranked in the Top 20.

He won't adapt his offense to fit our players? We have a great QB and great receivers, and a line that can't run block to save it's life. I think this season has been a pretty good example of him adapting his offense to fit our players.

Of course, you're too ******* stupid to know or care about anything like that. You just come on this board, cock in hand, whacking it as hard you can as you troll along. Well don't let me keep you from your release.

You deserved Croom.

I would say he's worth a lot more than $4 million as he's been making good money for quite some time now. I bet he's socked some away. Only his financial advisor knows for sure.

Say what you want, but Dan plays Holloway because he knows he'll break a big play now and then. Shump and Williams haven't done that. Aeris is young and will get better, but will never be a feature type TB. I don't know what will happen with Lee, but this position will be w-i-d-e open next year.

Were LSU, A&M, and Auburn last year not big games? Regardless of where they finished, they were very very high pressure games. Let me know your answer, I'll hang up and listen.

I don't know about pressure, but they all sucked defensively. If you want to talk about those three, then you've also got to include Bama, TSUN, and GT. I have no dog in the fight, but there are teams that Dan can't beat because he doesn't play mistake-free football.

Dan is worth $4Million. But good coordinators are also worth $1Million.

7-6 is still better than 3-8. i suspect he'll get a double salary increase and the keys to a brand new porche or something.

Dan deserves every penny. He has probably made MSU/Starkville more money than any single person ever has. Look at the difference in our facilities, our campus, and our town. Doesn't happen without fans and fans don't come to watch 3-8.

To MSU definitely yes. To one of the "elite" programs with super high expectations,probably not.

We won't have to worry about it after he leaves for Southern Cal

Best money Msu ever spent. Msu is the most improved football program in the Sec starting 7 years ago. Tell me who is or has improved more since Mullen has arrived?

25-6 tells me we have been pretty good and are still improving.

Look at the market.

$4M isn't nearly as big a contract as it used to be.

He's certainly worth the money. I hear some of our own fans say the same thing about Freeze. This isn't 2000 anymore. The market has changed, and $4M is the old $1M. It's the baseline you're going to pay in the SEC for a quality head coach.

Folks keep asking why does our best RB not get the carries.

Who the 17 is our best RB? I still cant figure this one out.

Coach's salaries are a lot like real estate. Its all location, location, and location. A 2000 sq ft house in north Ms is worth about $200,000, that same house in California is worth a million. Put that house on the beach in Malibu and its worth upwards of 10 million. The SEC coaching positions are beach front property in Malibu.....

I think Dan will keep us bowl eligible every year. Never had a coach that could do that. Now what is that worth to you.

It's not really the market. Freeze gets paid $4M because overpaying by $600k or even $1M a year won't get Bjork fired but letting a successful coach leave will. So when Sexton puts in a call, Bjork doesn't dare call his bluff. After Freeze signed his contract, Mullen probably could have squeezed another quarter of a million out of MSU. I'm assuming they had already had discussions around that $4M number or maybe Mullen wanted to use that leverage somewhere else.

Mullen - 53-34 (25-29 SEC), 6 bowls in 7 years
Next best coach since Allyn McKeen - 74-76-2 (42-60-1 SEC), 6 bowls in 13 years

Hell yes, Mullen is a bargain at $4,000,000.

The money from keeping us in a good bowl game every year is worth it. Does our school have a higher ceiling? Probably not.

The record against Saban is disappointing, but it's about progress.

Is the program in noticeably better shape now than it was when Mullen started? Obviously. Mississippi State is relevant in football.

He's not perfect, but he's surely State's best modern era coach, and he's managed to win in the SEC West's strongest era.

Has any one looked at Mullen`s salary as a percentage of our athletic budget ? I think he`s worth the money but when looked that way I`ll bet he`s one of the 5 highest paid coaches in the country.
