Mullen is second. He did take us to #1.

Both were great for MSU for different reasons and different eras. Both pumped life into a dead program. Both gave us some fire and moxey. Both stuck in the crawl of OM. One difference - Jackie never turned his back on MSU, went job shopping, or thought he was better than MSU - never.
