Great post from another board:

Tomorrow I'll look on here and see our fans crowing about Bama beating the brakes off Ole Miss. Mullen, Hevesy & Grantham just got pantsed on national tv for the second straight week and we're worried about OM and throwing around excuses like, "Well they are top 10 teams." That's got to be the dumbest excuse I've ever heard. This is the conference we play in. If we can't at least show a pulse versus the big boys, then let's do everyone a favor and jump on over to CUSA tomorrow.

OM's NCAA reckoning, if it ever comes, has this board completely distracted from the fact we are further from competing tonight than we were 3 years ago. We show no backbone and it's pathetic. I'm done melting now. Good night.

[maroonmania]

We need to quit scheduling ranked teams. That's the problem.***

[IMissJack]

The bigger issue to me is how many times we were not competitive in those games.

We beat three ranked teams in a row in 2014, and we beat one this year. You are using end of year stats. Obviously if we beat them their chances of being ranked at the end of the year aren't is good as they would be if they beat us.

So do you want to fire Mullen or not? If you do then come out and say so straight up and why. If you don't then you need to give it a rest. To me building a program doesn't have much to do with the highs. It's all about the lows. The lows are better under Mullen than they have ever been.

[ScoobaDawg]

Exactly. Dan is the STILL the Man.

Yep. He IS THE MAN (unless you are a top 25 coach)

[NCDawg]

I agree with this. You can lose a game, but when you just get the crap beat out of you and are not even competitive with the other team, something is seriously wrong.

[Coach007]

We need to note that under Dan, we were ranked #1 for 5 weeks straight..... with a team full of rejects that most did not recruit.

But, that doesn't push the narrative needed.

[Activated Alpha]

Could Mullen do better if he surrounded himself with better assistants and coaches?

[dawgday166]

OM has the talent to beat Bama, and we're gonna win the West next year *********************************

Yep, the narrative is the same one that said all we needed to do to improve on a 20 win season in basketball was fire Stans. It's been six years. It's the same narrative that fired Allyn McKeen. It's been 70 years. I'd like to try something different than bitching till the coach is fired. It seems on here that SOS (Same Old State) rules.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

2014 was fools gold...LSU, A&M and Auburn turned out to not be that good....

[dawgday166]

Doesn't matter if Dan is at LSU, he ain't winning the West. He gonna crap the bed at least 2 times a year. He simply doesn't understand the psychological aspects to motivating teams week in week out. His standard pre-game speech is "Go out there, execute at a high level, and dominate this game". It works every time ******

Saban does understand that there is a psychological aspect to the game. That's why he flew in the lone survivor guy the weekend of our game with them in 2014.

Why anyone thinks that the Blue Blood programs or the NFL is gonna come after Dan to be the head coach and pay him greater the 5 mill/year is beyond me.

Then shit the bed vs an OM team in oxford that we were better than. Dont forget that

[MarketingBully]

So he is 65-30 in every other game and that is why he is our head coach. He?s been the only coach we ever had that could win the games we are supposed to win and he has parlayed that into $4.7 mil a year. We allowed TSUN to punk us into paying him an insane amount of money.

[dawgday166]

Is he? and what does have to do with assistants? He's not even half way through his first year and we have gone from 110th in defense to a top 20 defense.

[Quaoarsking]

That's a really contrived, meaningless stat.

I'm fine with Grantham, but I'm not happy with our secondary coach or wide receiver's coach. At least our OL has looked serviceable especially if we stick to running the damn football.

You?re a crybaby. What was your prediction for this year? We got blasted by the 2nd and 3rd best sec teams. We?re gonna be 8-4 this year, enjoy it

If that is where they are pulling the stats from then the headline is garbage. Its not a "matchup" unless the ranking is when the game is played. But yes, in 2014 we beat 3 ranked teams in a row so those were 3 matchups we won right there. Now I'm not real sure if we've won any others against ranked teams when we played them or not.

Liver pool it is talking about games where we were ranked and the opponent was also. The data is not being manipulated to paint a narrative. We haven't been very good in top 25 show downs. To argue this is simply ignorant. You can still support a coach while acknowledging there are things that must be improved. I don't know why you have such a hard time comprehending this.

A) I'm not crying and you may very well be right. But I could also see us losing a couple everyone on here doesn't see us losing to.
B) But we'll be about that (8-4) next year too.
C) We gonna get 5 to 8 or so wins every year, with the occasional 9 win season.
D) I'm ok with it cause everyone else loves it.

Auburn may be the 2nd best in the west, but they ain't that good. Maybe they'll improve enough to give Bama a tussle, but they ain't close to that right now.

Well the tough and honest truth is look how that teams finished. Look at the final rankings of those 3 "top 25" teams we beat that year. Then look at the talent we got over the next 2 years. Where is the elevation in talent we were supposed to get from that. It didn't happen. It's a lovely stat to remind people we were #1 for a period of time and that's really cool. But in the context of things. WTF weight does that really carry other than now being a trivia question answer...

[Bucky Dog]

We have gotten beat by two top 5 teams in the country on the road!!!! Geez!

Yeah would I have liked to have been more competitive? Of course! Is our secondary getting torched repeatedly and are our WR killing us with the lack of speed and power, and all those drops? Of course!

We will get blasted by Bama as well so go ahead and count on that. We have a good chance to split TaM and Arky and go 8-4, 7-5 at worst. We have 2-3 stud receivers coming next year, our entire offensive backfield returning and a more mature line. Yes we need more 4 and 5 stars but quit freaking bitching so much after 2 road beat downs at top 5 teams.

And that's where I am talking about. Clemson, with the latest number I can find, spend about 2.5 million more on coaches than we do.

We are ranked 11th in the SEC paying assistant coaches. When is the last time we finished 11th in the Sec?

Bama pays the Outside LB coach (that's right OLB) right at 1 MILLION. How much does our OLB coach make?

I think they both are.

Assuming Bama & Clemson are 1 & 2, you can't name 2 other teams that are better than UGA & Auburn.

IMO, the best teams in the country are:

Bama
Clemson
UGA

This is my issue. You are probably right. But for all we've done over the past 9 years we really only have one thing people remember. That 3 game stretch in 2014. Other than that, there really isn't much we've done to elevate ourselves.

UGA is a potential playoff team. I'm not mad we lost, I'm just mad we looked totally overmatched. Auburn is really good, but same thing. Totally overmatched. And we know the reason. Recruiting. Our OL has been above average probably one time, maybe 2 times in 9 years. Yet we still continue to sell that we are a developmental program. There are no developmental programs that win 9-10 games on a regular basis. Every year our developmental OL prevents us from beating teams and our developmental secondary gets destroyed in the passing game. To add, I would love to know how many years we are going to be a young team. Pretty sure he's used that line heavily over the past 3 years. You can't be a young team for 3 years. If you are, you aren't doing a good job recruiting and building talent.

We have to do better in those two areas. We can bring in 4 stars virtually everywhere but those two positions and that doesn't make sense. We have to elevate our recruiting in those areas and become a consistent Top 20 recruiting team if we ever want to rise out of the middle of the pack.

Around 2011 or so I started reading SPS. In the frustration of that season after the high of 2010, there was a thread about building the program to NC caliber level. One poster made the argument that it would take a solid 10 years of consistently having winning seasons and making bowls before we could even consider recruiting at a high enough level to start contending.

Well, here we are 9 years in with Mullen, 7 bowl seasons, have more collective star talent then we have ever had - and we are just starting to see a trickle of the types of recruits it takes to compete at a NC level. It started with Chris Jones, and every year we get 1-2 more than the year before. We are on the verge of signing possibly the best class we have ever had, and 2019 is looking even better.

The reality is while we are a founding SEC member, we actually have a lot more in common with programs making the jump from FBS to FCS. We wandered in the wilderness for far too long to think this was going to be instant or easy. And here we are melting when we still have a strong chance at an 8 (or even 9) win season for only the 20th time in 113 seasons.

I think you think like a lot of State fans. We are not going to do any better, so why try? Just buy your tickets and be happy with the 6-6, 7-5 seasons, and maybe an occasional 8-4 season. Hate to say it, but the way things are now, you just may be right.

I think he was just referring to our head coaching spot.

Don't really know how a lot of State fans think, just know how I think and I've been a State football fan a long time (and alumnus), probably longer than just about anybody who posts on here. Of course that's a guess as well. That means that my suffering has been longer, so I do appreciate what he has done and believe that he is doing about as well as anybody can or would. Mississippi State is a unique situation for a number of reasons. I also understand the frustration that others have since at times I experience it as well.

Yes, referring to the HC.
