The coaching carousel was operating at warp speed last week. Many of the numerous jobs that had been opened for weeks began to fill up. And Mississippi State fans began to take keen interest in the Miami job when reports were swirling Dan Mullen interviewed for the job.
Dan Mullen has always had his critics. Even inside Mississippi State’s own fan base, there have been fans who believe he isn’t that great of a coach, but most of them remained as close to silent as possible during the 2014 and 2015 seasons. But a loss to Ole Miss combined with the report of him interviewing at another school has brought new life to those who have criticized Mullen over the years.
