The chatter has really died down the last couple of weeks. Wondering where the always opinionated Richard Gobbler with the stupid Cohen profile picture has been? Like Chris Fowler said on Twitter, our six losses were all to teams in the top 15, nothing to be ashamed of. We have shown a lot of gumption this year, and I couldn't be more proud to be a Bulldog. You folks who just want to spend your days bitching about Mullen or our marketing department or whatever else you can think of to ***** about, need to seriously take a step back and reevaluate your fandom. Get behind the program.
Where are all the bulltards calling for HUD?

Maybe they are happy with Mullen now since he found a way to get 6? Maybe they are behind the program.
And does bitching about those that were bitching, qualify as "bitching about whatever else you can think of to ***** about"? If so, look in the mirror. These threads are just as dumb as any Fire Mullen thread could be.
Happy with Mullen now that he got to 6? Are you kidding me? That is such a cop-out. You all were calling for HUD when we still had an opportunity to get to 6, which isn't being behind the program. This thread may be "as dumb as any fire Mullen thread" but all the Mullen haters need to be called out. Plenty of people were saying regardless of if we went bowling, they still wanted Mullen gone. It's awfully quiet now. Do you actually enjoy watching State football or are you so consumed by what Ole Miss and other schools are doing that you are jaded watching "our" team?
Dude chill out. MANY MANY MANY people INCLUDING MYSELF (and Cadaver and Engie... the "stupid Cohen Profile Picture" guy) have eaten a **** ton of crow that we are happy to eat the past few days. Quit being an idiot and calling out people who were rightly frustrated with the way things were looking two weeks ago before we nutted up and won 2 SEC games the way we have.
We just beat those ******** from Oxford. Kick back in your recliner and enjoy the **** out of it.

I don't feel like I was being an "idiot". I was called out on this board for being "the typical Mississippi State fan who was the problem with our fanbase" because I was comfortable with Mullen and our program. Do I want more? Absolutely. But I also understand we had a ton of injuries this year, even our guys who were playing were very banged up all year. What Mullen did this year was great considering we had the #2 SOS in the country. My point is that people on here were calling for Mullen's head before the season played out, that's the real problem with our fan base. I will surely enjoy the win, just as I have enjoyed the entirety of our season.
As a Mullen supporter, I'll defend everyone calling for HUD.
They had every right and reason to want a change. I too was very frustrated with game decisions, special teams(still am), defensive effort at times, and all around lack of intensity. Anybody who wasn't probably doesn't care whether we are 10-2 or 3-9. The only difference is I believed after a losing season that we should've given Mullen a year to turn it around. It appears for now that we're headed back in the right direction, but if you don't think we were in a downward spiral then you don't follow football very well, don't give as much of a **** as you think you do, or are blindly following a coach. The biggest thing that has gotten us turned around is play from some underclassmen who weren't quite there yet early in the season, to go with a DC who wasn't quite clicking with his players.
I'll even say this...a 6-6 or worse season next year with a blowout loss to our rival to end the season, to go along with some "quit" episodes where we don't coach or play to the end of the game, and we should absolutely be considering some forced changes at the end of next year; maybe not necessarily at the head coaching spot if we do make a bowl, but coordinators and position coaches for sure.
These past two games were the first times I can think of where we came from behind in the 4th quarter under Mullen to pull out a victory. It's very important too, considering we have a lot of young players on our team that need to believe we can do that. Perhaps a lot of our upperclassmen didn't believe in that, because we'd get stuffed at the goal line vs LSU, Auburn, or let them come back to beat us in the last minute in the past. Maybe even Mullen didn't believe we could do it because he didn't see fight in our guys.

You aren't a Mullen supporter haha so we have a coach who has done something no other coach has done in the history of our program and you are ok with people calling for a head coach who has done what exactly? Dumbest argument I've ever heard. There is a reason that only State fans want Hud. To say we "were in a downward spiral" is an over used, over exaggerated term. Florida, that's a true downward spiral. Us? Not so much. Also important to note, you want to make a big deal of this post because I'm expressing MY FRUSTRATION for people not supporting our program (note: program includes the coaching staff) yet, you didn't seem to attack the idiots throwing Mullen under a bus and acting like the guy did nothing for us. Call me out, but don't say you are a Mullen supporter and then say things that contradict that.
Being a Mullen or MSU supporter does not imply that people can't see problems and discuss them as they unfold. If you don't want people to form an opinion until the season is completely over, then you need to join some other board that only operates during the off season. Or better yet, grow a sack and discuss your reasons for loving whoever as people are bitching about him.
I seriously don't believe you understand how a message board works.
Look...
I'm very pleased we beat Ole Miss. But lets not act like all our problems are solved. Once the excitement of winning this week has worn off, then it will be time to evaluate where we are as a program.
We make a few plays in the Auburn game and we are probably 7-5. Of course, we are also a few plays from being 2-10. UK, BG, Ark & OM could all have easily been losses.
All Mullen has done is beat teams he should beat. That's great compared to his predecessor. But he'll be in year six with no Croom recruits left come 2014. Next year I'm expecting a minimum of 8 wins. Simply bowling again is not enough. If he can't do that then it's time to move on. We are not poor ole sippi state anymore.

I was calling for Mullen to be on the hot seat, not because of the record but because of the teams lack of progression in fundamentals. Believe it or not, I actually want Mullen to be the coach of this team. It took until the last two games of the season for this team to find its identity. Was it because of great coaching? Nope. It basically took injuries for Dan to realize what many of us saw weeks ago. That there were better players riding the bench. He needs to get over this stubborn loyalty to seniors and put the best player on the field. I know he is a young coach and will continue to grow. There are some things I expect to see next season. Luckily for him the QB situation is set for next year and the team will benefit from knowing who the leader is from the start. We don't have to wait on Dan to make a decision. He has the chance to have a good season next year. If we see more of the same from ST and lack of in game adjustment, then it will need to be addressed. Dan needs to realize we are not Florida when it comes to recruiting. He can't just show up in a helicopter and think the recruits are going to fall in his lap. He needs to light a fire under the staffs *** when it comes to recruiting. The fact that we are going to a lower tier SEC bowl does not erase some of the stupidity we have seen this season. You can not sit there and tell me you are completely satisfied with everything you have seen this season.
I understand the board and I understand that you and the rest of this board can choose to drag Mullen through the mud time and time again. I'm simply stating that it's ridiculous and that all of y'all should try enjoying our program. Look at the big picture as to why we lost some of the games this year. I'm not sure you understand football. You're probably the guy no one wants to watch the game with because you complain the entire time and spout off obscenities that make no sense. Try supporting Mullen, try watching our team and seeing the potential. It makes me laugh that we go 6-6 so the Mullen boo birds start showing their true colors by saying we have lost the recruiting battle to Ole Miss 3 out of 5 years yet we best them 4 out of 5 years and our big recruits sure look better than theirs.
Here is me "growing a sack" and backing up my support for Mullen. Every year we have improved offensively under Mullen, keep in mind we barely got 300 yards a game before him. We are on track to break our own all time record for offensive yards in a season. Defense held Alabama, Ole Miss, Auburn, Troy, and Arkansas in check in regards to what they do best. We fill our "needs" in recruiting every year with good, solid recruits out of our HOME state. We have more donations during Mullen's tenure than we had in the previous 20 years combined. We have been ranked in the BCS top 10 under Mullen, we have an $80MM expansion under Mullen, we have a great contract with Adidas as opposed to Russell Athletics under Mullen, the rivalry between us and Ole Miss is back to where it should be BECAUSE OF MULLEN, and we have big time ticket sales under Mullen. He has done more for our university, not just football related, than any coach I can remember. He loves our school, he supports all other athletic programs on campus, and he carries himself and our football program with pride and class. He deserves better than to be drug through the mud on a weekly basis.

Mullen is a good coach but I think hud is/would be better. Mullen has earned the right to be our coach, however, and I support him in his quest to get us to atlanta. Before you retort that I don't support mullen think of it this way: saban is a better coach and I wojuld certainly take him over mullen, but again mullen has earned the right and I support him. Same scenario with hud.
Personally I've been beaten into submission and realize as a State fan, I shouldn't expect more...so I don't anymore. Hell, EVERYONE argued that it was idiotic to want to win more than 6, and now we agree, and you're still pissed?
Go look at my posts in this thread and others
I haven't bashed Mullen here. I have been critical of ST, play calling, and the red zone. I have been on the fence about him and have been pretty clear about it. I am also on the fence about HUD being our savior. So you can take these assumptions about watching a game with me and my knowledge of football and shove them up your ***.
It is good to see that I prompted you to make a post (second half of it anyway) with an ounce of substance.

You mad... Bruh?? If you think our football team and coaches, except for the last 3 weeks, has played and coached with fire and a sense of urgency then you're the one that doesn't know football. I will always support and love MSU but It doesn't make me a bad bulldog because I don't support Mullen with the debacle he puts on the field sometimes. I was very pleased with the effort the past few weeks but still the play calling has me scratching my head more times than not.. But in 9 posts you have become the most annoying poster on this board and that's saying something.. Congrats! Genespage is the other way
Great, now that you've answered 50% of the question, why is HUD better in any way? I'm assuming you've watched every ULL game so you probably know better than me. Are his in game adjustments really good? How's his recruiting? Getting any Chris Jones caliber players? Just trying to understand why we should get rid of our own record-setting coach for a wildcard? I don't follow HUD so I'm ill-informed
