A friend still coaching HS football in MS
I coached football in MS for over 25 years. I had to retire in 2008 due to a terminal illness, but stay in contact with ole coaching buddies. What I'm going to tell you bears out to be true. We were talking recruiting and the different approaches different schools use in recruiting. We specifically compared MSU and OM and their different methods. My buddy said and I quote, " I'm not a big fan of Mullen basically because of his arrogance, but he has improved over the years. One thing I can say is DM doesn't promise kids anything but an opportunity to play and it's totally up to the player". He went on to say "OM is very secretive and will tell a kid exactly what they want to hear concerning playing time". He said this really got his attention in watching how the drafted NFL kids from each school have performed compared to the 5* guys that were promised the world and had no clue how to work to be successful in the NFL. He said his High school players are taking notice of what goes on at each school to prepare them to be NFL players if that is their dream. He also thinks OM is dirty. By the way he's got a good player that is a Jr. Who will be a dandy dozen guy I believe next year. Thought you guys might enjoy our conversation.
