And how many of them faced a 1st year like 2020. That year should be erased from all record books as it was nothing close to apples to apples for many programs and conferences.

The GOAT Allyn McKeen: 29-5-2

Damn. McKeen was a beast.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Damn. McKeen was a beast.

We fired him for Slick 17ing Morton. I'm trying to think of a modern equivalent to that kind of boneheaded firing and replacement, but I can't.

Errr maybe it’s more about how you accomplish it?

 

[Olegreyboy]

A busInness man in Hazlehurst offered to donate $50,000 to MSU athletics if he could dictate the offense run. McKeen wouldn’t go along with it but Morton would.

So we Auburned ourselves

how about coker at the u?

 

[stateguy]

how about coker at the u?

Coker won a national championship. Don't care who set him up for it - he was the coach when it happened

 

[BingleCocktail]

Coker won a national championship. Don't care who set him up for it - he was the coach when it happened

but he was fired after having a .800 winning percentage. didn't the u fire him? they haven't been relevant since. what are they? like 80-75 since they canned him?

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

how about coker at the u?

Randy Shannon was mediocre, but Morton was far worse. But that's a fairly close one

I actually just thought of the right comparison, and it's firing Malzahn for Harsin.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Or Cutcliffe for Orgeron

Fired by Dudy Noble……what could have been.

 

[60sdog]

Damn. McKeen was a beast.

Actually won a National Championship that we have yet to claim.

I have a shirt that says otherwise

It's a damn shame that 99% of our fan base, alumni included, have never heard of our greatest ever coach.

Yep. We forced out our greatest ever coach. We have been in football purgatory ever since.

 

[TaleofTwoDogs]

That's the State way................

When Karma has you by the balls and just won't let go

Maybe we should find a relative and hire them in some ambassador role or something to try and exorcise the deamons

 

[aTotal360]

Let be honest, what Mullen inherited was an absolute dumpster fire. Not taking anything away from Leach, but Mullen damn near turned water into wine.

 

[FourthStringPunter]

Leach’s has better resources than any coach on that list. He also had to coach thru a covid season with 10 sec games in his first season. His trajectory is ascending. Needs to get #9 with a bowl win and then win 10 next year. He may not be the best we’ve ever had but he’s a winner.

 

[Ranchdawg]

That's the State way................

Like Leach said, "We have a hard time with prosperity". Our fans enjoy whining about what should have, could have . . . If we had kept McKeen we may have become the Alabama of the SEC. Instead, we torpedo our program and lament.

 

[She Mate Me]

That was actually probably Darrell Royal, but he didn't earn the great distinction at MSU.

I said ours. He wasn't ours when he hit greatness.
