From a Georgia board:
<font size="2">When I think of Dan Mullen, I think of Rich Rodriguez. They both run great offenses and both got opportunities at schools that were dropping off radars. When you hire a guy that has an offense like his, it will keep you in games. It eats clock, it's versatile. Great run/pass ratio. And it makes the defense play more assignments. If he can find a guy who can coach defense to play somewhat similar to what they had before, I think they will be much more competitive than MSU has seen in a while. Think about it, the only reason they suck right now is because their defense was always on the field [because the offense was pitiful]. I think it's the best hire possible for MSU, and I commend them for getting him. Great choice, IMO. Huge upgrade over that joke, Croom. Damn, I wish they had kept him. He was great for the rest of the conference. I kinda thought he was untouchable, but their new AD is not playing around.
