Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen attempts to troll Michigan
Published:
Jim Harbaugh can add Dan Mullen to his SEC-coach hit list.
The Mississippi State coach was with Harbaugh in Mississippi for a satellite camp on Wednesday and he couldn’t help but take a little shot at Michigan.
Mullen decided to bring up the Gator Bowl from the Rich Rodriguez era. That game, of course, saw Mullen’s Mississippi State squad roll past Michigan 52-14.
Spending time with @CoachJim4UM and the Michigan football coaches today brought back some good memories. #HailState pic.twitter.com/5SBt6A7A4G

Rodriguez’s final game was Michigan’s worst bowl loss in school history. Fittingly, the coach with the worst record ever for a UM coach was fired afterwards.
So Mullen didn’t really take a shot at Harbaugh. He, of course, had no part in that game. But interesting it is that Mullen felt compelled to mention Harbaugh, who obviously hasn’t been afraid to fire back at an SEC coach.
In other words, brace yourself for some sort of response from Harbaugh.
