Why does everyone consider Mullen better than Chizik?

  • It's not hard to understand the difference in potential between AU and MSU.

    For example, James Franklin will be considered ten times the coach Dooley is when both teams win 6 or 7 games this year.

    Winning 9 games in your second year at MSU after Croom destroyed what little bit that program had, is a pretty big deal. You know AU has more resources and built in advantages that MSU does not have.

    I certainly don't say Mullen is better than Chiz, but I will if both have similar records from here on out.

    The animosity toward AU isn't because you guys didn't cheat, it's because most everyone thinks/knows you did cheat to get a once in a lifetime player who won you a natl title essentially by himself. Again, not saying I feel that way, but that is how people feel. But yeah, everyone else offered him all the money his father wanted, but he decided on AU instead, who offered him nothing. Cam was in love with Mullen from his days at UF. Kid called and apologized to the staff at MSU saying "the money was too good." But alas, no money trail, no cheating. Atleast that's how the story goes anyways. I don't know or care either way. Both coaches have a chance to either confirm, or redefine what is generally thought of them this year.

    Because Chizik put his dingaling on everybody by recruiting Cam Newton cleanly, going 14-0, and winning a National Championship (and the SEC Championship). It annoys people that AU wasn't dirty. I lul.

    This is a joke response but actually more accurate than any want to admit. The nation hates to admit they're wrong because it makes them look less intelligent. But they are so it works out.

    I like how you believe the phone call where "The money was too good" was supposedly said actually happened. You get led around by the nose often?

  • It's probably because Chiz is open about his faith and Mullen comes across as an atheist with no morals.

    I blame Obama.

  • You have to compare the 2 at similar jobs. Chizik at Iowa State and Dan Mullen at Miss State. Comparing the 2 in their current jobs is like comparing Miles to Rhodes. Just bc you do better at a certain school doesn't mean you are better. Hell Saban didn't have a four year run like this at Lsu. Bear Bryant didn't win a national title till he came to Bama. You get my point?

  • Honest question, was Mullen hired before or after Cecil solicited cash from MSU?

    If it was before, then this thread is even more hilarious.than it already is.

    No what's stupid is having a damn stroke whenever someone says something bad about chizik. he caught lightning in a bottle with cam and will not come close to that again and everyone knows it.Don't be mad bc no one respects a 35-29 coach who had a title fall in his lap.

    How's this thread going for you so far? Are you closer to finding the answer?

    Great, watching idiots all act like their coach didn't have star players that greatly contributed to their success.... priceless.

    That the best you can come up with? Maybe you will change your mind about chizik after he gets another ass whipping from saban and miles this year

    saban can only win with a loaded roster made up of a few No. 1 recruiting classes imo.

  • ppl say mullen is a better coach bc msu has never won anything. winning 8 games there is like winning a national championship. auburn has won a game or 2 in their day. winning 8 games at auburn is a cause for meltdowns. mullen is overrated. he'll never leave msu bc there's no pressure as long as he's scheduling cupcakes and beating ole miss. at best they are on the same level with chiz slightly on top bc of the nc. if cam newton would have went to msu in 2010, this would be vice versa

  • its because everyone thinks Cam Newton is the reason you won a Natty, not Chiz

    and they're probably right

    that being said, Chiz did out recruit$ us to get him and i wish we would have had him instead

    So by that reasoning, if Cam had gone to MSU and you won the natty, that should be a reason to think less of Mullen's coaching abilities?

    But he also won Kentucky's only SEC title while winning the Sugar Bowl and finished in the AP top 20 the last 5 years he was there and took an awful aTm program to 2 top 10 finishes in 4 years and a SWC title.

    Plus, the state of Auburn's program wasn't much better than Miss St when Chiz took over.

    About the 4th year, the state of a program is what the coach himself has made of it. This will be a great judgement year for both. I give the edge to Chizik.

    thats not the reason people think so much less of chiz, it was the fall off and the iowa state record

    but, if we won it after cam had done everything he had done, i wouldnt think we won it because of mullen as much as cam

    that being said, i'm not sure why all the auburn fans give a shit. you won a natty, tell everyone to censored off
