You guys calling for Mullen to leave or quit have completely lost perspective
This isn't even about where we came from anymore. This is about freaking common sense. We are pissed about 8-4 people. Do you not see that??? How can we as MSU be arrogant enough to be pissed about 8-4 and want that coach gone? This isn't a we are lil ole MSU post. 8-4 is a pretty solid season and I would hope by now we had a huge transition on the OL after losing 3 seniors that we just couldn't overcome. I understand we are 1-3 against Freeze. I'm pissed about that too. I understand we haven't beaten as many top tier teams as we wanted. But for you guys to solely blame Mullen is shortsighted and ridiculous. We need staff changes 100% and we currently don't have the funding in order to bring better staff in. That's athletic department's fault right now and they need to fix that. Mullen needs to understand we HAVE to upgrade our staff, but we have to be willing to have the funds available to go get people we want. If he isn't willing to make those changes, THEN I'm ok with him going. I get relationships and friends and things like that, but if there is an opportunity to upgrade our staff significantly, then that needs to happen. But for you all to sit here and say he needs to go and say Hud or Skip Holtz or Herman (who has one full year of HC under his belt) are for sure better coaches is stupid. That's a pretty average list if we are being completely honest. If we are going to can Mullen or tell him the door is there and go, you better have some tangible evidence that there are options that would take our job today that are for sure better than Mullen and those three for sure don't meet those requirements.
I don't think we can guarantee that because no matter what some of you say, Mullen is a Top 25 head coach. So let's get some objectivity back people. Step back from the ledge and let's see how Mullen handles the next 12 months if he in fact is staying. A lot of us seem fairly confident we could upgrade from Mullen. Not sure some of you realize yet that you are pissed about an 8-4 season after a 10-3 season yet and just got done having Mullen completely build from the ground up one of the greatest QBs in the history of the SEC. Do we have areas for improvement? No doubt. Better recruiting and better staff for sure. But for those of you that think the pasture is always greener on the other side, you better be damn sure you are right if you go all in on Mullen leaving.
