The few videos I've Sirmon coaching are pretty good.

Because defense in the SEC West is not the place to "give it a shot." Could you please link video of this guy scheming and calling a defense.

So it's fine to let guys be HCs in the sec with no previous experience, but not DCs?

Apples to oranges. If you're talking about Mullen (and I know....6 straight bowls, greatest MSU coach ever), he had the experience of working for one of best coaches in the game. He learned a System for several years. He called plays. He experienced winning on the highest level. But we are still experiencing his growing pains.

Didn't hurt Flordia winning national titles with a first time OC. Kirby Smart had one year experience at Valdosta St 6 years prior then was a position coach again until Saban named him DC. Muschamp also had one year exp at Valdosta St before Saban hired him at LSU. Jeremy Pruitt had never been a DC in college until FSU hired him for the 2013 season. That worked out. Bo Pelinni had never been a DC until NE hired him from the Packers as a LB coach. Saban had never been a DC until hired at MI State, he was a DB coach at Navy. These are no guarantees that he will be successful but many examples of guys who have jumped straight to DC at a Power 5 school and done well.

Man you worked hard on that. I'm convinced..."2* Mullen" has found the next Saban in a 1* DC. He really has y'all convinced that he is some Jedi genius. Hired a out of work coach who opened the bathroom door for him at the coaches convention. I bet y'all still believe he's never losing to the School Up North. Might be the next Pruitt??? The good thing is that the young coach gets to learn from the best defensive mind in Football, Dan Skywalker Mullen.

Damn, what a p*ssy.

A "1* DC"?? Seriously, dude??

I mean...just... F* ck off with your bullshit.

You question his inexperience. Fine. But sh!tcanning the hire bc he wasn't your choice? And without any credence to the potential upside of the hire?

Are you a "fan" of MSU or not? The hire's been made. Voice your concern. But then quit being a vag and get on board.

Or shut the f*ck up

Either way

I guess you could say it is apples to oranges because a HC would have more responsibilities than a DC., It is the same general principle because neither had experience in the particular job they are accepting. Was Buckley's hire acceptable, or do you see a problem there, too?

Maybe we just need to go back prior to the Dan Mullen era.*******

Good one CD.

You guys are right. He's OUR DC. Nothing I say or feel will change that. I really hope that we field a great defense. For the record, I'm no p***y. Hail State!

P.S., I'm not a bitch either.

If you didn't want an answer, you shouldn't have asked the question. And it took about 5 min to make sure I was right on a few facts. How good of a DC he is will play out on the field. He seems like a sharp and bright guy with high energy.
