Losing by 19 at A&M, is now on a four game losing streak. Meanwhile Florida is headed for another 10 plus win season, a top ten ranking in Dan's second year in this rebuild.

Florida State, and Miami are trash. The future is bright.

Miss St is going back to Pre-Mullen. It’s not taking long to tear down what Mullen built there.

I keep hearing about Dan's inability beat top 10 teams in Starkville. Well two years into this rebuild he is 3-2 in such games with a large percentage of Mac's players. The same players that won four games.

I don't think anybody realizes the handicap he was playing with. MSU is a below 500 program in it's history. Saban wasn't winning B1G titles at Michigan State, and they are a better program in a worse conference than what Mississippi State is.

Garbage program that was propped up by Mullen. They were winning around 40% of their games historically before Mullen showed up and made them relevant. It only took one year for them to turn back to what they've always been. But hey Mullen never won any titles there he sucks!

This!
 
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

Yep
 
I have mentioned previously that State is UK's permanent cross-divisional opponent, and we UK fans saw what Mullen could do there. Count me among those who have a high regard for him.

We crapped the bed and lost to them a few weeks ago, but the OP is right in saying that they are already trending down. Put it this way - the league office paired UK and State together for a reason.

I'm just glad we (unexpectedly) broke the streak monkey last year.

I was the idiot Gator fan who was excitedover Chip Kelly negotiations. Glad he loves the west coast. Tennessee would be in a much better spot if I got what I wanted.
