No, because MPH refers to a linear velocity, rather than a rotational one.

However, I think you might be asking if a point on the equator has an instantaneous linear velocity of 900mph. Such a point moves about 6000*2*pi km every 24 hours, so it moves at 6000*2*pi/24 km/h = 1500km/h approx. So 900mph is not a painful out.
