Dan Mullen is one of only four coaches in Mississippi State history to last seven seasons as head football coach (Allyn McKeen, Emory Bellard, Jackie Sherrill). He is one of only three coaches who will make it to their eighth season (Allyn McKeen, Jackie Sherrill). There’s not much comparison for any MSU coach to Allyn McKeen who was 65-19-3 in nine seasons. He also coached in the 1940s when football was a different game than it has been for the last 40-50 years. So for a more accurate comparison to what Coach Mullen has accomplished during his tenure in Starkville, let’s compare him to Jackie Wayne Sherrill.
