It’s no secret that since Dan Mullen’s arrival in Starkville back in 2009, fans and media sources alike have criticized, laughed and mocked Mullen’s football recruiting, his commitment to football development and “the process”.
Since day one, Mullen has said there is a process and State will win and win at a high level, all the while getting mocked and asked time and again “who” when he signs players to the program. Many folks stopped laughing and were left with a blank stare in 2014 as the Bulldogs reeled off 10-wins, punched their ticket to the Orange Bowl and sat at the top of college football for five straight weeks as the number-one team in the country.
