Lol, another perfect example. We are still exactly where we always have been money wise in the SEC. you gave an imperfect analogy. The upper echelon of the SEC are dabbling in Fomula One. We are buying 911s off the lot. In the old days they were buying 911s and we were buying base RX-7s.

The upper echelon has always been in the top ten in recruiting. When they got more money they didn't move up any in recruiting because they didn't have anywhere to move up to because they were already at the top. When we got more money we moved up 9 spots on average in recruiting, because we really really really needed the money. The SEC welfare money helped us a lot more than it did the people above us. I don't know why this is not sinking in for you. More money for them doesn't mean much of anything, because they don't have anywhere else to spend their money. There is only so much money to spend on facilities until you are just buying useless crap that has no bearing on where a kid is going to school. Those upper echelon schools are at that point. We are not, and every dollar we go up in budget helps us get closer, because they have reached the point of diminishing returns and we have not.

OK, forget Rodgers. He went full retard last night over the question of who will have the most success Mullen or Moorhead. He chose Mullen mainly because it's easier to get to ATL in the East currently. He thinks Moorhead will have a losing record vs Auburn and Bama his entire tenure as head coach. Thus, Moorhead has no chance to get to ATL.

I see what you are saying but....

Your logic is a little flawed. Theologically, over a ten year period we could go to ATL 40% of the time if the wins against Bama and Auburn occur in the same year. Of course, this assumes that the path to ATL is blocked by only Bama and Auburn in any given year (which is generally the case).

Mullen was a step in the right direction. I don?t think anyone denies that. He just isn?t a great coach. He?s pretty good, and had advantages no other state coach has ever had, like I just pointed out.

I agree. We needed Sherrill to show us we could win. We needed Croom to get the train back on the tracks. I think we kept Croom way too long but he did serve a purpose. and we needed Mullen to step us up to consistent winners. Mullen was good for MSU but had reached his ceiling. Now we need Moorhead to take another step up and get some separation from the SEC West middle of the pack. If we can get to a point where it's bama, us, gap, rest of west, then we will be in position to take the next step in competing for titles.

Probably should elaborated a bit. Rodgers assumes Mullen will be consistently victorious over UGA and Kirby. And he assumes Mullen's Florida team is the only one in the East to get good enough to beat Florida. There's way too much assumption on Rodger's part that the East will always be "down" except for UGA and Florida duking it out every season for the top spot.
