Closing the book on the Dan Mullen era

Now that the grieving period has passed and a hopeful outlook for the future has taken its place, it is time to close the book on the Dan Mullen era. Mississippi State reached a level of success under Mullen that has never been achieved in Starkville. It is undeniable that he set a solid foundation that will not be easily compromised or fractured, and the hire of the arguably more creative mind in Joe Moorhead gives State fans reason to not dwell on the past but to rather look forward to more of that success going forward. Now let’s close the book on the 2017 season and take a look back on what worked, what didn’t, and what can be improved heading into the much-anticipated 2018 season.
