It is a clear #2 school and football program in a small state. Mullen took over Miss St from Sylvester Croom, whose records were: 3-8, 3-8, 3-9, 8-5, and 4-8. So Mullen took over a moribund program everybody expected to be a loser 3 or 4 of every 5 years. he had a loser in year 1, and then he reeled off 8 consecutive Miss St bowl teams. Mullen coached 7 of those bowl games and won 5 of them. 3 of his Miss St teams finished the year ranked. Even Mullen's Florida failure is fairly impressive: he coached there 4 years and had 3 teams finish ranked. They played in 3 Major Bowls, winning 2 of them. His bad team was 5-6. It lost by 2 to #1 Bama, and later lost to new #1 UGA. [/QUOTE]
