Wazzu seems like a good fit for him.
I think he'll try his hand in the NFL though and be an OC somewhere

I think he is good but he limits himself and isn't flexible enough to fix his limitations and take the next step.
I mean being better than Croom isn't exactly a high bar. LOL.
I also think his extreme run first offense plus his lack of recruiting at skill positions and the offensive line make it difficult to change offenses when a new coach comes in.
Asshole Dan got everything he had coming to him. He uses people and treats everyone with contempt. If you know anyone in the AD office, ask them what they thought about Dan. In the end, its all about winning and he didn't win enough there where they have National Championship ambitions. When the players he recruited started to have to play, the results were evident. Screw Dan
Mullen came to MSU because he was offered a HC position at an SEC school. He didn't intend on staying here as long as he did. He wanted a Quote " A real football school" Well a real football school doesn't go for this developmental program and he either got upset or talked down when the media asked him about recruiting. Also some wanted Grantham gone before the 2021 season. You can also not say the crowd noise was the reason for the loss last year at TAMU when there were about 20,000 in attendance due to Covid. He got what he wanted but the grass isn't always greener on the other side , and sometimes it has concrete under it and fake grass. Also playing not to lose yesterday probably substantiated his firing prior to the FSU game.
Plus if he had stayed just one more year....even with a 80% Fitz(thanks Spears you POS), with that defense that natl champion Clemson used the blueprint to beat Bama in the Championship game, he would have had a legendary one loss DOG team for his resume and legend.......
Dan quit on the team and they quit on him. Watch his pressers over the last few weeks, he wouldn't even look up just stared at the podium and gave incoherent answers. He was done. He fired himself.
Plus if he had stayed just one more year....even with a 80% Fitz(thanks Spears you POS), with that defense that natl champion Clemson used the blueprint to beat Bama in the Championship game, he would have had a legendary one loss DOG team for his resume and legend.......But for reference, CML has ALREADY beaten as many ranked teams as MULLEN THE GREAT did in his entire time at Starkville (not vegas).
I'd agree with the firing if Mullen didn't fire Grantham and Hevesy. Those guys have been holding teams back for forever. IMO you give Mullen a chance with a new DC.
Mullen has had a bunch of second chances, and UF doesn't keep giving second chances. I guess he thought he could recruit like he did here and such but that doesn't work at UF. Spurrier was upset with some of the things he did or didn't do prior to this year. They didn't hold him back on recruitng as he was the HC though,
Agreed
I thank Dan for building a bowl eligible team but Dak Prescott made us #1 in 2014 and nobody EVER should forget that.
If Dak left after 14, MSU wouldve been 4-8 or 5-7 at best. He went 9-4 with that team. That is how good dak prescott was.
Dan couldnt keep a defensive coordinator at msu to save his damn life

I think Mullen's lack of recruiting is exaggerated. Currently watching a pro game with an ex Mullen QB, Lineman, and LB. He put many studs into the NFL.
The problem is that Mullen would not have been able to compete with the LSUs, Georgias, and Bama like that. He's an underrated recruiter though.
That’s obvious, but it’s also obvious any future employer’s would look at an INCREDIBLE job that he took bottoms dwelling Moo U (I freaking hate that) to a one loss season only losing to Bama......but as it stands he took a FLA powerhouse down to a mid level season.
