    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.
    Mullen would have failed to make a bowl game in 2011, 2013, and 2016 had he played an 11 game schedule like Sherrill did and had bowl games not been so readily available for anyone who got to 6 wins. That’s nearly half of his time in Starkville That he would not have made a bowl game if you add the 2009 year. He probably would have been fired instead of getting the Florida job had he been in Sherrill’s situation. Sherrill was the better coach due to doing what he did without all of the SEC money and extra cupcake game per year.
