Good post. We are in agreement. At first I might have switched 2 and 3. However, If Mullen can develop LSU level talent as well as he does MOO St talent we would be unbeatable. No one gets more out of their talent. He takes 2 and 3 star guys and routinely coaches them up to 4+ guys.
Yet he routinely gets beat by our shitty style of vanilla offense and no defense. Yup sign Mullen up.
A big part of an AD's job is shmoozing with the fat cats. Bertman, Joe Dean, Dietzel were all good at it. I don't see Les as much of a schmoozer
No he doesn't. He depends on JUCO talent, more than any other SEC coach. He's not a good recruiter. Wasn't at Florida either. Even in Louisiana, he'd lose out on a ton of LA. recruits to better coaches/recruiters. Been coaching MooU since 2009 & has finished 4th or 5th place in the SEC West every year, except for 1 year, 2014, when he went finished 2nd. 2015, back to normal, 4th/5th place with the "Egg Bowl" coming up. http://mississippistate.247sports.com/Article/Mullen-gives-thoughts-on-Juco-recruiting-3898463 Mullen would be a disasterous hire at LSU, imo.
