I think it's a good hire. Successful DC in the past in the SEC & has been head coach, that pulled some upsets. So he knows how to gameplan against superior opponents.

I just don't how any of us on here have enough information about how good someone will be as a DC. Mullen has a much better track record of hiring new coaches at MSU than the coaches he brought with him when he got the job.

I trust Mullen in these searches. Many posters just want the guy that they know the best or has had the most recent DC success. Paul Rhodes became a head coach for a reason. He's like Ellis Johnson
