In order for Mississippi State football to have success, it needs intensity and passion from Dan Mullen.
December 10, 2008.
Dan Mullen is hired as Mississippi State's 32nd head football coach.
Before his hiring, the program was in the gutter. Fans were discouraged. It seemed as if we were going nowhere.
At halftime of Mississippi State basketball's game against Charlotte, Dan Mullen was introduced officially to Bulldog fans. Mullen, a 37-year-old who was just hours into his first head coaching job, proposed a goal for the Bulldog football program - to get back to Atlanta.
