How did Miss St do versus ranked opponents prior to Mullen?

It's horrible and no matter how much one wants to fall in love with CDM there are those nagging facts that humble us- he and his staff were not very good... there. Many will tell you he was simply amazing at Miss St but the record and results do not support that. Even the year they were ranked #1 it was short lived and they finished the season ranked 18th. That's not terrible but it was the highwater mark of his tenure.
That is irrelevant. He had a losing season in 2016. ?

MSU ceiling is where Jackie Sherrill took them. The seccg. He even had a better record than Mullen til the wheels fell off beginning in 01. Saban took Michigan St to their ceiling at the time. Dantonio has done a better job. Also Mullen doesn't have the resources and recruiting abilities of a Saban. Just look at his recruiting here already. He's getting the good but not elite players because he's an awkward Ahole.
So Mississippi states ceiling is what? National titles? You’re just making stuff up
Michigan State just went to the playoff and won the big 10 championship 3 seasons ago . So no, what Saban did was not their ceiling.

Like I say: "Hind-sight is an azzhole's peephole."
#1) Mullen is who we've got to do this thing.
#2) Mullen "feels" Gatorhood as his dream job, his best achievement spot.
#3) Mullen has & will get more & better talent by reprising the spirit that is Florida.
#4) Mullen can't in this future be made the same,worse,better by pre-condemnation.
#5) Our fun can be made worse by quarantining us into negativity bombardment.
#6) Logic suggests each person ask himself/herself : "Is this how I want to feel?"
#7) Ain't the best yet to come ? (Don't you suspect so, honestly?)

Go back to look at the break down of his record, why is Mullen ranked first in drop from out of conference winning percentage to conference winning percentage (-14.2%).

Again, you aren't looking at anything else. Why are you comparing Mississippi State in a blank statistical breakdown to top tier programs when that program isn't really comparable to anything in this conference other than Ole Miss, Vandy, and Kentucky? the only other programs with history to compare winning percentages to. To think that program is a plug and play and win at the highest levels is beyond laughable. To not think a program with massive talent deficiencies, with one of the worst educations in the country, no history whatsoever to point to, little to no financial support until Mullen and Stricklin started it, is suppose to somehow miraculously win at a level that's never been seen before, I just don't know what to say.
You guys bring up Jackie Sherril, here's Jackies seasons:
7 wins
7 wins
3 wins
8 wins
3 wins
5 wins
7 wins
8 wins
10 wins
8 wins
3 wins
3 wins
2 wins
Mullens:
5 wins
9 wins
7 wins
8 wins
7 wins
10 wins
9 wins
6 wins
8 wins
A program like MSU is going to have peaks and valleys with winning. There's a zero percent chance, and yes, this number is dictated on 100 something years of MSU football, that success can be sustained on an every year basis simply because the talent void is so deep. Generation classes, like what MSU has now, can bring MSU up to a level of national competition.
Again, to think that it is a fact that Mullen, in a larger talent pool, with millions in more support, history, etc etc etc can't be more successful then you're a fool.
I'm not saying he will or he won't, but nothing says that he can't. Nothing.

I compared Mississippi State to Mississippi State with that stat. You are deflecting now. He has the largest drop in winning percentage from Out of Conference Games to Conference Game in Mississippi State history. That isn't comparing against any other than other Mississippi State coaches.

Who's deflecting? No chance you even read this. Link me. He won more bowl games in their history than any other coach. Beat more ranked teams in their history. Beat Georgia, Florida, and Michigan 52-14 in his second year there and finished 15th. He has their greatest season in school history. I've provided way more insight than you have. You are selecting small amounts to further your narrative. You can keep coming up with whatever stat you want. I don't care anymore. Be a negative brat all you want

You mean in the year where Alabama was 7-5, Lsu was 4-7, and Auburn was 3-8? Yes, he managed to squeak out a 1 point win over Arkansas to get the nod. Oh, and he lost Kentucky during that epic season. Give Mullen a year like that, and I imagine he'd reach Atlanta as well.
As for your point about "til the wheels fell off" for Sherrill, it's also not accurate. I had an entire breakdown that I posted a few months back. If anyone would like to go to the trouble of finding it and reposting, go ahead. It completely shut down the thread, and there wasn't a single lucid response thereafter.
None of this means he'll kill it here. But imagining things, or just flat out manufacturing fake arguments is ridiculous.

Ok, going to a bowl game when over half the D1 schools now go to a bowl game isn't that much of an accomplishment. So do you think that all 64 bowl teams are great teams every year? So in his second year, with the previous coaches players he had his best year? Richt had his best years in his first 4, what do we think of Richt? What real insight have you provided... He is the winningest coach in their history, expect he also had bigger schedules than anyone in their history, so able to stack the out of conference schedule? I can bring up any stat I want, but you keep coming up with the same stats over and over, and when they are debunked, say but it's Mississippi State? It's been Mississippi State for 100 years, that schit isn't going to change unless a coach/ceo changes it... and he didn't.
As far as being negative, not really, just fcking with you at this point.

Now Ox is owning you Donkey.
You might as well leave this thread while you still have a shred of decency left. It has not gone well for you.

Add an extra easy directional school win to Sherrills yearly win total. 12th game added in 05 or 06

That wasn't my point you just failed to bring it up so those numbers would look better. Not to mention way less bowls back then. Another point skewed. I'm not even saying he didnt do ok there but saying stupid crap like Saban or Lombardi couldn't have done better is just trying to rationalize the hire. Not sure if I've asked you but do you think we hire Mullen if Stricklin wasn't AD? Why or why not?Oh sweet so those 2 win and 3 year wins look even more impressive
