Also, he talks about Mullen taking us to 8 straight bowls but but let's be honest the St. Pete bowl we didn't deserve. Plus, a coach we fired took us to two in a row.

Like others have said looking at the last 100 years he's absolutely right. Looking at the last 25 he's not close to being right. Arkansas and Ole Miss are absolutely harder to win at if you look at any data point for that time period.
Good post.

I think this makes the Leach tenure all the more important.

MSU needs to prove that someone other than Mullen can really win here.

If MSU maintains winning over 3 different coaches, it should become fairly clear that MSU is a good job
