I don't know that Mullen will not win a championship here but I would doubt it if I knew he were going to land mostly 3 star talent while our chief rivals land mostly 4 star or classes with decent but not great OL/DL and QBs that do not turn out to be great. Too early to tell on that.
One thing that was slightly disappointing to me were his recent conferences about practice and progress. He didn't seem confident. I think he is telling the truth and he does not have a good QB yet. The QB thing will come. I am hoping he gets the OL in order, gets his staff to produce an excellent defense, and as produces game changing Special Teams play. If he can win 7 games and beat fsu he will have a great story to tell. 7 games and losses to all the traditionally good teams will mean he's asking every recruit to dig him out of a hole.
Playing for a staff has to account for something. They have to be winners or recruits go elsewhere. It's just that simple imho.

I said that God isn’t recruiting or winning at MSU.
That’s what this whole dam pissing match is over. I say give Mullen a fair shot and let’s see. Steady improvement or fire him. You say fire him now. Buried in lots of over-analysis. Am I right?

I need to develop a way to cut through and simplify things in this manner. Very nice.

I don’t think Jesus Christ himself would win $hit at MSU.
I stand by my last post. Fair chance of several years showing decent improvement. Or fire him. This is a several year cleanup job is all I’m saying.
Our only difference is you have a shorter leash than I do. That really isn’t a biggie.

Franks isn't anywhere close to Fitzgerald as an overall QB and they are going to let Fitzgerald still use his wheels a lot this year. We will have to make an avatar bet or something if you really think we are going to go there and win with Franks at QB. That D line is going to have a field day against him.

Add in home field advantage and a lot of abandoned-Wife syndrome (crowd will be pumped) and we probably won’t even be favored.

I think the game actually has a chance to get really ugly with Franks in that environment.

Fitzgerald is trash and is virtually a statistical tie w Franks. You are what your stats say you are.
Maybe he will look better w a better coach and better system.

I never bothered to look till now. I'm surprised at how pedestrian his numbers are. The 56% completion rate is nothing to write home over.

Fitzgerald is a hybrid fullback tight end. And he's a crummy qb. Using him as an argument for mullin isn't a winning formula. Stick with Prescott. At least he's an actual qb.

I kind of think we might get a scenario where the D hangs in there at first but the offense getting tore up finally wears on the D and then they start pounding us some. I hope that doesn't happen but its what I think will happen in reality.
They did give up quite a few rushing yards to some teams last year however so maybe that is a way we hang in there.
