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
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.
