When talking about mullets in a predominately Mormon state, the first grand-father of all hardcore mullets must be Porter Rockwell. The guy was the original grit. He was pretty hardcore and was handing out beat-downs since the founding days of Mormonism. Porter was the body-guard of church founder Joseph Smith Jr. He was known as the "Destroying Angel" by his enemies and was surrounded in folklore before his death. He ran a brewery in Utah and was prophesied to never be harmed by his enemies as long as he never cut his hair. He was the original Utah Mullet. I would not mess with Porter. His hair and swagger are often copied but never replaced. He even has a restaurant named after him! This guy was about as tough as they came.

He had long hair -- but not a mullet! One length does not a mullet make. Sorry!
I respectfully disagree. His hair was "short in the front, long in back". As well, "mullet" does not only refer to his hair but his attitude and penchant for beating up people. In his case, he usually beat-down bad guys.
