We can do much, much better.
We you recruit better than us, then you whip us. That's what OM did. Freeze has it set up beautifully at OM. We don't. That's one thing that has to change. But can we really compare the recruiting situation at MSU to OM and someone that helped establish their pipeline? OM has a recruiting advantage. They do the things necessary to get elite talent. But do we think bringing in another head coach like Herman is going to change that? Heck no. The recruiting thing is much broader than we are talking about and yes we have to get it fixed. OM has outrecruited us and it showed on the field last night. And while Mullen is partly responsible, let's not be surprised that OM is bringing in high caliber guys right now.

As far as assistants, I think Gonzales, Johnson, Hughes and Diaz are the only safe ones. Might add Turner to that group although I would be ok if he's let go and we go a new direction. We do need better recruiters and we need to shell out the money to get them.

As far as being propped up by Dak in response to Todd, I guess Urban and Mullen were propped up by Alex Smith, Chris Leak, Tim Tebow, and his QBs at OSU???? Part of being good is that you develop talent at the most important position on the field. Dan does that and he's known for it and he did it again here at MSU. Mullen turned Relf into a serviceable SEC QB. Then turned Dak into one of the greatest ever. Now we have Fitz and Staley that are very solid QBs with bright futures. When they are successful, are we going to say Dan was propped up by them? That's a horrible argument Todd. The reason we didn't win 10 games is because Dak was on his ass too much from our trashy OL. The attitude I will agree with and that has to be addressed. But to say Mullen is propped up by Dak makes zero sense. He made us into a legit team because of what he did with Dak. It's easy for us to just sit here and praise Dak's greatness. Dan made that shit from the freaking ground up people. He's one of the greatest developers of QBs in football right now. Do we really want to throw that away so easily?
