HOOVER, Ala. - If Dan Mullen’s football game is as strong as his shoe game, Mississippi State is your 2015-16 national champion.
The Bulldogs coach knew exactly what he was doing when he strolled into the Wynfrey Hotel for his team’s Southeastern Conference Media Days session rocking the Adidas Yeezy Boosts sneakers.
“I try to be swagged up in footwear,” Mullen said.
He’s earned himself some braggadocio after leading Mississippi State to its best season since 1999. At one point last year, Mississippi State was the No. 1 team in the country, even. Yet, here they are again, in Mullen’s seventh season, likely to be picked to finish last in the SEC West for the seventh time.
