JOMO: Upgrade.....Bout the Same....Down Grade vs TCDS?

Based on what you've gathered these last few days

Will be a recruiting upgrade. At least in relation to equivalent point in time Mullen before the results did his recruiting for him...

Really wouldn't know he spent his whole life in the northeast just hearing him speak. Has plenty of southern charm.

Too early to tell, but I think he’s going to be very good. Don’t want to under-sell what Mullen did because he gave us nine solid years, but there are certain things that I can already see that Moorhead will be better at. The key will be cosistency.

Well, Mullen had a lot of things going for him but charisma wasn't one of them. Moorhead however definitely has that and it will give him an advantage in the recruiting game over Mullen.

I think upgrade. And that’s saying a lot.

Way too early but handles himself very, very well. I think he is going to

do great.

Its an upgrade at the OC position. I guess its possible that our players won't mesh with the new offense for some reason, but we are getting an Offensive coach that is more knowledgeable and innovative than Mullen.

All other aspects of a head coach remain to be seen, but I do agree he appears to be much more liked in the coaching community.

 

[msstatelp1]

Upgrade.

 

[engie]

I'm also confident in saying we won't see the prevent offense under him. Seemed openly Freeze-esque in that regard. Said he's going for the jugular early and often. Will be a refreshing change in big games IMO.

 

[Drebin]

Definitely think it's an offensive upgrade. I think it's a definite upgrade in overall coaching philosophy....attacking and playing to win. I need to see who his defensive coordinator is before I think it's a complete upgrade. I'm less concerned about recruiting as I was, but it's still a bit of a concern.

Not enough information yet. I’m mad at Mullen too but he turned us around, put us in the most bowl games and almost has the most wins of any coach at MSU. I’m not going to say the new coach is as an upgrade over Mullen when he hasn’t coached a game, signed a recruit, or even taken a **** that won’t flush in Starkville yet.

Based on what I see, I do like his demeanor with the fans and I like his scheme from Penn State. I hope he can help us keep a salty defense. I hope he can recruit the area well.

There's a wide gap between year 9 Mullen and year 1 Mullen that should be considered as well. He did improve himself yearly.

I was considering year 1 vs year 1 in my thoughts...
