If it's Paul Rhoads, what is the board's thoughts
From what I've read, that's definitely who it sounds like it's going to be. Apparently Mullen interviewed the Texans coach (John Butler) yesterday "just to be sure."
He seems like an ok coach and an ok recruiter, but "ok" doesn't help in the current environment. Hope he proves me wrong if we go in this direction.

I can't speak for others but for me it's a very "underwhelming hire"..........
"The QB and the receiver weren't on the same page there, but hey its only week eleven". (Jack Cristil)

I am sure this board will go into complete meltdown no matter who it is. Mullen can not do anything right anymore. Time to get fresh meat in...
"Live every day like it was your last one.....And one day you're gonna be right"..Willie Nelson

Meh.... maybe he's not a name I'm that familiar with. But it's not a home run by any means to me.
-
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

It would be the perfect recipe for creating the traditional MState apathy. He's never done anything as a D coordinator to stand out and what little success he had at Pitt was before the evolution of the spread offenses. But hey, maybe we're trying to take this "developmental program" approach to our coaching staff as well.

What would be a HR hire?
All of these guys have flaws. Rhodes resume is far better than Allen's
-
A lot better hire then most of our fans will give credit for
-
Just extremely underwhelming. Other than 1 year at AU, he has spent the majority of his career at Iowa State and Pittsburgh.
-
So does this mean that footballscoop was right for once?

He was only DC at AU for 1 year. AU finished 5-7, lost 6 of their last 7, didn't make a bowl and their defense finished 27th in the country. Rhoades was 32-55 as a head coach.

Walk like the King or walk like you don't care who the King is

Generally Mullen's hires other than DC seem to be pretty good. He can't get a good DC to stay here though.
We seriously couldn't have at least hired Lance Thompson?
-
Don't know a lot about him so I'll reserve judgment until I see the product he puts out there.
-
Would be Mullen's worst hire to date in my opinion.
-
If nothing else at least we'll have 17 DB coaches on the staff.
The only place he's ever been where he could recruit was Auburn but he only lasted 1 season because Chizik got canned. Got to trust CDM's judgement on this one. Hopefully we got a guy that won't bolt at the first glimmer of a green pasture. We need some stability at DC. According to wiki, he turned down Auburn before eventually going there a couple of years later. That's a positive sign.

No, he was there when Tommy Tuberville's last year. Chizik was HC at Iowa State. The pretty much flipped schools. Chizik to Auburn and Rhodes to Iowa State
