This isn't a "we should bring back Dan Mullen" thread. I'm not even addressing that. BUT since there have been some posts about it, and then Kirby called out Mullen's recruiting it got me wondering if MSU Mullen would've done better in recruiting with NIL?

I think he probably would've. Staff was good at finding and developing talent (so you're not battling other programs for NIL for these kids). He was able to get some star talent, but didn't seem willing to play the game to the level others were to get someone elite (I.e. Cam Newton). I always felt like Mullen knew he would get a bigger job and didn't want to risk that by getting caught up in a pay for play scandal.

Again, NOT SUGGESTING WE ATTEMPT TO REHIRE DAN MULLEN.
