Did any one watch his press conference yesterday?
There's no doubt he built our program up but hearing him talk you would think the cowbell was his idea or something. He so arrogant. He did a lot for our program but the program is bigger than him.

1. You just now figured out that Mullen is cocky?

2. He's not exactly wrong. I don't know if you remember, but DWS in 2005 wasn't exactly rocking. I'm not suggesting we rename our field to Dan Mullinz Stadium, but he did play a factor in where we've been trending the past decade.

Definitely knew he was arrogant but taking credit for the cowbell rule is crazy. He definitely had impact. Winning does more of that. The late 90s were pretty awesome environment at DWS. Just saying he made it seem like we should thank him for the cowbell.

This is the same guy who chewed on a cigar like an extra in good fellas after beating a 5-6 ole miss team. If anyone should be able to understand the way dan acts it’s us. I think the party line was “But he’s OUR yankee *******.”

Now that he's no longer a Bulldog, most everything that Mullen does bugs me. That said, anyone trying to downplay his contribution to MSU football is eerily similar to those that still want to act like the Stansbury era wasn't the best sustained stretch of MSU basketball in the school's history.

Yeah... Mullen never made it to Atlanta just like Stansbury never made a sweet 16, but the fact remains that they were both wildly successful when you compare their records to our history in both sports.

Now that I've gotten that outta the way, 17 Mullen

He's a master of getting into people's heads. He waged a 9 year mental campaign on Ole Miss. I think he has read all of that trash talk about him on Twitter, laughed about how delusional a lot of it was, and will come into Starkville with the intent to skull drag us. I think a lot of our fans hate him because they know, deep down, that it's very possible he was the best coach we will ever have. At least for the foreseeable future.

We had a 4 year stretch of having the most wins in the SEC West. At one point we had the 4th longest home winning streak with Lee Corso saying it was the best environment in college football. We weren't Vandy when he got here. Croom did a lot to kill off the environment but it wasn't completely nonexistent before he came to MSU.

I guess you should have put "Mullen's" (with an apostrophe for the possessive) in the subject line so it'd post the name instead of a bunch of asterisks. I won't know if this worked until I hit "Post".

There's no doubt that he's arrogant, but he may have played a role in allowing the cowbells to remain. Fans are doing quite well with the rule now, and of course, there's no way he can legitimately complain about them now.

Stricklin should have a word with him about taking credit for the "cowbell compromise". That was Scott's crowning achievment!
