I think most just wanted to believe Mullen had a little more fight in him and liked being the underdog. If he wins 2 National titles in his first 4 years at UF, then he might be Florida's 3rd most beloved coach after Meyer and Spurrier. If he takes MSU to Atlanta then he gets a statue, and if he wins in Atlanta then MSU teams 30 years from now are probably playing on Dan Mullen field. But it is what it is, he got out with his 33-39 SEC record and I thank him for stabilizing the program. It is going to take a very special person to embrace the challenges of being at MSU and really dig in and fight to get us to the next level. Scott and Dan were not those guys. It does not make them bad people. It simply means they wanted to take the easier road and MSU was not at the forefront of their minds.
