Mullen would have taken what we put on the field yesterday and created an offense that was somewhat serviceable. Lebby just don't know what he is doing. It's like he's coaching not to get blown out rather than coaching to win. I know that's not the case, but he just doesn't know how to fix his problem.

If we'd hired Mullen instead of Lebby (and I don't think that was realistic, so I'm just being hypothetical here), he would be several games ahead of 11-21 (3-18) right now.
If we had hired Mullen and K1 stayed healthy, we would be in the top 5-10 and he would be job searching all over again. But that would still be better than where we are for the immediate future.

Never understood the Hevesy hate. Still don’t. We had some good offensive lines when he was coaching us.
It all culminated in us losing the OL from West Point that was a 4 or 5 star to Alabama.

People acted like losing a player to Nick Saban during the height of his AL days was unfathomable.

It was the dumbest **** I'd ever seen, well until now...where we have people claiming Puckett is playing bc his dad is paying the school.

And turned out that player was very average, at best.

Someone else said it best. If KT grew up an Alabama fan, we'd be sitting at 1-6 right now.

It's time to move the program in a new direction. Do what we can to keep KT, but if he goes, he goes at this point. It looks like we will beat Tennessee Tech 21-17 and lose the rest of our games by double digits at this point.

Yep. Scott Lashley.

He was probably as good as what we have now, but that's not saying much.

Like you said, he was average...which makes people freaking out over losing him back them even more laughable.
The rumor was Hevesey had been assigned the local Golden Triangle as his recruiting area. He also missed on Starkville native AJ Brown that same recruiting class. But yea, Hevesey is A much better OL coach than Phil Chodeholt.

Like i said, people losing their minds over Lashley committing to Nick Saban and AL is laughable at best.

On AJ, that hurt but we were fighting a battle where OM had much more ammo.

Remember that Arnett isn't matched very well with Lebby's offense.

Mullen might be one of the only guys who has enough cache in Starkville to come in a galvanize the admin, fanbase and players.
No more Mullen ever again! He was personally responsible for losing at least two, possibly three, EB's because he was texting AD's with other schools during the game. Seems like a lot of people have forgotten this.

I'm just not seeing all the talk about KT not being durable talk. He got an injury that pro athletes commonly get and is almost impossible to play through or come back early from. He tried to tough it out and it ended up making it worse and cost him the season. Unless my memory is shot to hell this is his first injury in college. I just don't see one injury earning the not durable label.

He was hurt last year filling in for Shapen. Which is why it was stated by so many in the preseason he’d never last all year this year.

He had injury issues in high school. Not saying it’s a toughness thing. Some guys just have more bad luck with injuries.

The shear number of players that he put in the NFL would suggest bias from the homeboy media types who got their feelings hurt when he left
This. He gets a bad rap for recruiting but he seem to find talent not stars. He had a knack for it. Sometimes that's more valuable. Often times at msu you better be able to develop guys because people will always steal players away. Better develop the next man up. Lebby hasn't developed anyone
