Last Monday, on the five-year anniversary of the death of former player Nick Bell, Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen stood at the podium at the Leo Seal Jr. Football Complex during his weekly press conference and recalled the difficult days that followed Bell’s passing.
“I know for me, as a coach, I hope I never have to deal with anything that hard in my career again,” Mullen said. “I don’t think I’ve ever had to deal with anything close to that in my career as a football coach. When you lose a family member like that, it’s just a devastating thing.
