Dan Mullen's Record

[Zambo]

Let's just break it down into a very simple question....Do you think Meyer would have had as much success in Starkville as he had in Gainesville?

Hell no. And neither would Spurrier. South Carolina anyone?

 

[Floridagator]

If Mullen was coaching UF this year he would be 3 and 1 same as Muschamp. Don't see what's so bold about that.

Ok. I say we'd be 4-0.

Now that's bold.

That's a great point. USC was a disaster and a team that fought Vandy and Kintucky for last place prior to arriving at USC. Now USC has won 10 games in each of the past three seasons and has gone to the SEC championship game. He did the same at Duke, took a laughingstock the conference championship. That's what a good coach does even with a cellar dweller.

Not saying Dan Mullen is Nick Saban but Saban had exactly ONE season at Michigan State with more than 7 wins and that was his last. He had 6 win seasons 3 times and that was in the pathetic Big 10. His final season he went 9-2 but it wasn't him who beat us in the bowl game in 1999.

Sometimes it just clicks for a first time headcoach.

He wasn't that great at LSU and frankly, just as SOS said, there's a pretty good argument he has underachieved with his 5 stars at every position consensus #1 recruiting class year after year with which he has only managed two SEC championships.

I think the biggest difference is simply that Bammer's buy better players than Corndog and Meatchicken State did. No one makes it rain like Bammer.

Thats correct. the opposite effect is whatt Muschamp has done to Florida. personally Not a Mullen fan but hes beginning to sound good to me. might just be the delirium setting in.

Lou Holtz had SCar winning plenty of ballgames before SOS got there. He had the 0-11 season in his first year, but after that, he won 8, 9, 5, 5, and 6 games. If they didn't have that giant brawl against Clemson in his last game, he would have taken them to three bowl games. So SCar wasn't THAT bad when SOS took over. And let's be honest, while he took them to the SECCG in 2010, they still haven't been to a BCS bowl.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

5, 5, and 6 isn't THAT bad?

No wonder you still like Chimp.

 

[Zambo]

The point of all this mental masturbation is that you DO have to take into consideration the venue when evaluating a coach's record.

For South Carolina? A team that went 0-11 his first year? A team that you yourself just said was competing for last place with UK and Vandy? No, that's not that bad. He was hailed as a hero when he won 8 games the year after 0-11. And I guarantee you it's a lot easier to recruit to South Carolina than it is MSU. Wayyyyy easier. Especially when you're SOS and you have name recognition.

Speaking of masturbation, I couldn't help but notice that you seem to be missing a few of the required parts. Perhaps you can borrow some from that other monkey on this board. He seems to be well prepared.

Back to Mullett, instead of hiring ANOTHER guy who goes 3-5 in the SEC and hoping he'll win a game or two more because we're hoping he could do better elsewhere, I'd just as soon have a guy who is either a proven winner or who at least has proven he can put together a top offense (and hire a good DC).

Frankly, Mullett has all that Meyer Stink on him anyway. The AD's office wants all the arrests and criminal behavoir behind them. Mullett was available last time, and wasnt hired or even considered. That won't change.

He's had 3 consecutive 11-2 seasons, has a school record 5 game winning streak against Clemson which no other coach has done, during which Clemson has had the most success in modern history. He is also 4-1 versus Georgia in the last 5 years while we are on a 3 game losing streak.

He has taken them to unprecedented heights that they will never see again.

Zambo's a chick?

He's also lost twice to Kentucky, lost to God awful UT last year, and hasn't made a BCS bowl. See how easy it is to do this?

Exactly. He's a great coach, but it's South Carolina. If he were at Florida he probably wins a few more SECs and maybe even a NC. Again, the venue has an effect on the amount of success.

True. Lets remember that Spurrier did miss out on Tebow.

So a few bad losses completely negates any success they have? Did Saban losing to Lousiana Monroe negate the NC's that he would win at Alabama? Did the embarrassing losses Meyer took at the hands of Saban make him given back all the trophies he won at Florida?
