Dan Mullen- in 8 seasons

[the59dawg]

Random is basically saying unless we are in the Top 5 every year we need to get rid of Mullen. I wonder if his high school season is over will he resign this year?

Is anyone more constantly anti-Mullen than random?

[lamont]

Since '11, lsu has scored 69 points in 7 games vs bama. 9.9 ppg

So we are comparing Mullen to the guy that got fired because of his archaic offense??? You aren't helping your cause with that reply

[HoopsDawg]

It's a sad fact. Would it be better if we if we avg'd 9.9 ppg like lsu their last 7 games vs bama or 12.7 ppg like bama's avg since dan got here? I'd love to beat bama, but it's just not something that should be a barometer at miss state imo. Saban is 96-10 with 5 sec championships and 4 national titles since Mullen got here.

Man, I hate when posters just make up straw man arguments like saying that beating Bama shouldn't be the barometer at MSU. No one is saying that.

I think we should expect a little more competiveness than what we saw Saturday. That was pathetic.

Random is in no way, shape, or form saying that. I have said repeatedly that Mullen won't and shouldn't be fired

[smootness]

He's a troll. The sooner everyone realizes this, the better off we'll be.

Lsu '13 had the best collection of offensive talent this conference has seen maybe ever and they scored 17.

Ole Miss put 43 on them THIS year.

Yeah, I don't let the Bama game influence my thoughts on our program one bit. That would be insane. Now, the other 11 games are a different story. There is plenty to gripe about, and losing to Bam in 2014 is one of those, but even paying attention to that game right now is useless.

You forgot to put an asterisk on it. If we were holding 8 level 1 infractions and another letter on the way, we probably would've fared better vs bama, no?

This is it.

I actually thought the offensive gameplan was very good on Sat. But the defensive effort and intensity was some of the worst we've had in the last decade. Guys playing soft, not running to the ball, giving up on plays, etc.

Alabama's defense has given up 6 TDs this season.

I hate all the turnover we have had with our defensive staff under Mullen, but he's going to have to clean house again.

yet you come on here and DECLARE the owners of this board no longer support him .... the support from the majority of the fan base is overwhelming in support of him

I think we all can agree that beating Bama under Saban is a long shot, but there is a shot (see OM). The thing that drives me nuts is the lack of physicality and aggression necessary to help compensate for difference in talent. Even Bear Bryant conceded that every time they played Miss State his guys would have to spent time in the whirlpool to work out the bruises. Not to beat a dead horse, but it all starts on the line. You can't have O linemen continually being stood up and driven backwards right into the QB like we saw in Saturday's game. On the defensive side, the DL didn't have the depth to play 4 quarters with Bama. Recruiting on the lines has got to be an imperative if this program is to move forward and be competitive in the SEC West.

Wasn't this board calling for Mullen to start gameplanning for om before the aTm game and asking should we rest starters vs bama for the Arkansas and om games? There was a surrender before the game starts atmosphere here before the game started and when we get smoked some of the same ones (not you) are mad at the lack of competitiveness

Yep. And we won't until he makes some changes. There is a lot going on- not just posts on a message board

Alabama's defense has given up 6 TDs this season.

That's wrong - they have given up 12. 9 passing and 3 rushing. 3 passing and 1 rushing in OM game and 3 passing and 1 rushing in Ark game. Other than those 2 games, they have given up a whopping 3 passing and 1 rushing TD in 8 games.

I and others said we should spend 5-10 minutes a practice on OM. Considering the team practices 2 hours- you realize that is a very small percentage of time? Nobody said completely ignore the other teams on our schedule.

Do you always get what people say wrong or just me?

To this point...if Mullen is here next year, which I'm slowly leaning in the direction of this being best, will actual changes be made? Offensive coaching changes? Defensive mindset changes? Preparation changes?

What type of changes are we looking at?

Got to be some coaching changes. Staff status quo is not working
