Dan pisses me off A LOT, but we are far from mediocre for a school with our budget, size, location, & competition surrounding us. We are OVERachieving since Mullen arrived, don't kid yourselves. And this is coming from a guy that wants to punch Mullen at least a handful of times each Saturday. At MSU we don't have to settle for 6-6 or 5-7, but we have to know that's going to happen every 5-6 years give or take. Having multiple 9+ win seasons in a 7 year span is HUGE for us. Don't get greedy and send us back into the abyss unless we KNOW 100% Dan has lost it. We aren't there yet and everybody knows it.

You wanna know who takes a job at MSU if Mullen's tenure plus 5-7 or 6-6 gets him fired?? Nobody worth a damn, bc that's a death sentence. There will always be 5-7 or 6-6 at MSU. Reloading is not an option. It just isn't. Unless we want what colonel reb has comin.

I know it's aggravating watching us lose to USA & struggle with UMass, but take a deep breath, look at our situation as a whole, and at least give the man a full season to turn it around. We know he's capable. If he doesn't show signs of fixing it as of this time next season,these comments will be justified. But not now.
Here's the thing.

We had a team that should have won 11 games last year including the bowl. We won 9. Dak masked a LOT of things last year that aren’t getting masked now. Without Dak we’re probably 6-6 at best last year.

So, essentially because of Dak, Dan is getting a pass on last year from most of our fans. Unfortunately that is only going to likely end up tacking on a year of misery if our “rational” fans get their way.

I don’t see how anyone can look at our team and how they have performed and objectively say that things look like they are going to get better. We haven’t even really played a good team yet aside from LSU and despite the score they dominated us.

We'll worry about getting a coach when the time comes. I think we'll be OK because of what we can offer. There aren't very many SEC jobs that come open every year.
