Reality Check for Mr. Mullen

[Kaos]

He had not gone to midfield to shake hands with Auburn coach Gene Chizik. He had gone instead to the locker room. With LSU visiting Starkville on Thursday, the Southeastern Conference West Division championship Mullen talked about during the summer could already be slipping away.

Two games into his third season at Mississippi State, Mullen is 2-9 in the SEC West, the only two wins coming over Ole Miss.

(I had to make three corrections in that section which came from Phillip Marshall.  Very sloppy work). 

Damn, Dan.  Even Sylvestre Croome had two wins over Bama, wins over Arky and Auburn and two wins over Ole Miss in his four years. 

And Sly did things the right way.  His wife didn't run her fucking mouth.  He taught his teams to play like men, not like bitch ass punk thugs.

More from Mullen:

It’s a tough loss and it’s going to test your character. Test the character of our coaching staff, our strength staff, our administration, our trainers and our student body. It’s going to test everybody’s character. This team, our character, our football family, our football program. Test our character. We have to respond five days later against the best team in the country. We have to see how we respond.”

Cue butthurt Bama fans.

Who here remembers 2 1/2 years ago when Mullen was said to have been an infinitely better hire than Chizik? Chizik was bound to lose every head-to-head they played.

I do.

Mullen was the real key to success at UF.  Meyer can't coach a lick.  Malzahn is the head coach de facto at Auburn because the offense rawks.

Fuck Mullen I hope State losses every game they play this year.

You know, every time I see this fuck nut on the sidelines, I like him even less. I am very close to actually taking bama over MSU.

I remember that like it was yesterday and it wasn't coming just from the usual dumbasses (finebaum, hurtt, etc.). I'd say it was around 98% of the media saying that or something similar.

Auburn. The hire: Chizik. The grade: F.
Chizik needs to begin every morning by reciting the Lou Gehrig speech: "Today-today-today, I consider myself-myself-myself, the luckiest man on the face of the Earth-Earth-Earth." The fact that he somehow parlayed a 5-19 record at Iowa State into a job at one of the better programs in the country is astounding -- and reflects the glorious dysfunction thatis Auburn athletics. Understand this: Auburn could have kept Tommy Tuberville and his 85-40 record (Resignation? Right.) but went with a guy who opened his tenure in Ames with losses to Kent State and Northern Iowa. Auburn could have gone after Leach, who knows something about winning in a brutal division, but instead hired a guy who went 2-10 in league play in the softer Big 12 North. Auburn could have landed the red-hot Gill, whose Buffalo team has won six of its past seven games, but instead embraced a guy on a 10-game losing streak. Maybe Chizik will be the next Bill Parcells -- he went 3-8 in his first year as a head coach, at the Air Force Academy in 1978 -- before turning out all right. But until that happens, this has the makings of the worst hire in SEC history.

Mississippi State. The hire: Dan Mullen, Florida offensive coordinator.
The grade: A-minus. Let's face it: The Bulldogs are not dealing from a position of strength in the SEC. They've won four or fewer games in seven of the past eight seasons. So landing one of the brightest offensive assistants in the country is a coup. The only drawback is that Mullen will remain immersed in the Gators' preparations for the FedEx BCS National Championship Game instead of reporting for full-time duty in Starkville -- but that's as it should be. Finish one job before starting the next.

Yup, that little write up was passed around on JOX & ESPN like it was The Good Word...My hatred of the media began at that point, now I don't even listen to the media because they're all fuckin babbling idiots that seemingly knows less about the sport they cover than I do (atleast it seems that way to me)...I don't even care about what our own media people say about Auburn.
