Mississippi State fans deify Jackie Sherrill, as though he was on of their own, even though he wasn’t. It had as much to do with him being a redneck
Sherrill fell apart his last three seasons, going 8-27
He did pretty good his first ten, although short of Mullen, who was phenomenal there all things considered
Sherrill year by year then Mullen
7-5. 5-7
7-5. 9-4
3-6-2. 7-6
8-4. 8-5
3-8. 7-6
5-6. 10-3
7-4. 9-4
8-5. 6-7
10-2. 8-4
8-4. 8-4 (did not coach bowl)
Sherrill 66-49-2 those ten years, 2-4 in bowls ( fewer bowls then)
Overall he was 74-76-2
Mullen was 77-50, 6-2 in bowls with that 4 week or so stretch as number 1 in 2014
Before it collapsed, Sherrill was good, but by any metric, not as good as Mullen
