Dan Mullen is the future of college football
I spent an hour with the future of college football the other night. He left me with my eyes wide open and shaking my head with admiration and respect.
He’s got some Urban Meyer in him. A little bit of Nick Saban. Perhaps a dash of Steve Spurrier. And if you don’t blink, you might even catch a nanosecond of Lane Kiffin.
He is Dan Mullen of Mississippi State. A year ago, he was known as Tim Tebow’s quarterback coach and Meyer’s play-caller/offensive guru at Bowling Green, Utah and Florida. Today, he is known as the man who has quickly turned around a desperate situation at Mississippi State and for the first time in awhile has fans in Starkville upbeat and optimistic.
