    I just cannot muster the hate for Mullen that some of you have. I do not like him anymore, but I do not like any other sec coaches. If he were out of the sec, I probably would not even pull against him. Mullen was good for our program. Mullen left us a team that could very well contend for the sec this season... he must have been doing something right. With that said, I hope we beat Florida by 5 TDs

    I see the good things he brought us and left us but that doesn't change how he walked out the door. I don't respect how he handled the situation. Ask Fitzgerald about him and you'll get a similar response in private.

    This is where i'm at. As just a fan, I understand that coaches come and go, so what they do ain't gonna hurt me. However, lateral move pissed on his players and the administration that was loyal to him. For a Coach to tell his players they are family and he loves them while all the time having one foot out the door, I cannot forget. I appreciate what he did while he was here and the talent he left, but he pissed on his players, the very ones that are responsible for him being a millionaire. Don't respect or like him for the way he handled that. Screw him! Onto the JoMo ERA!

    These are my feelings as well. I actually like the name Lateral Move better than misspelling his name.

    I tend to think that the fact he left us with so much talent is a clue as to just how bad he wanted out. He left the year before we should have one of our most talented teams ever. And is one thing I think we should appreciate.

    This is what needs to be at the forefront. We have arguably the 2nd or 3rd most talented team in the SEC for 2018- and Mullen still wanted to get out of Starkville.

    No doubt. And I'm hoping my boy Fitz is in NYC in early December.

    I don't hate him either, but his leaving the way he did was very Tubberville-esque. Had he handled it like he should have, I really wouldn't have blamed him after the initial surprise.

    20/20 hindsight Could DM win game no. 11 with this team? Would DM be looking after game 11 and loose game 12?
