Ah, the joy of being in the Jacksonville TV market - I get to see shit like this on a regular basis.
Enjoy Coach & Mrs. Lateral Move and their "love" of all things Gator.

Try not to puke....
I never ceased to be amazed. Guess they were both full of crap. SMH
.....but they luuuuuuuuv Starkville and will never leave.....lol
The moment Mullen took the Florida job, I became a huge smart fan, tenn fan (except beating us on the trail), and FSU fan. I am a hater, and it would bring me great joy to watch Mullen be fired in a couple years. Go seminoles, Georgia, and tenn. Oh and Moorhead, you have the better team... do NOT lose to Mullen next season
They were gonna leave sooner or later regardless...Dan is kinda like the ol Southern Baptist Preacher, he's always gonna get "called" to a bigger church... Stricklinz is the one who should be shamed....
She’s had some harsh things to say about Gainsville and it’s ilk during her decade in Vegas. In fact, during Don’s intro presser a local beat writer asked him about his wife’s comments. He said something to the effect of “if she didn’t want to be here, we wouldn’t be here.”
I don’t blame them for leaving. I’m thankful for what he got started here. But it still rubs me the wrong way when someone talks so much crap for so long only to tuck tail and backtrack. I have a hard time respecting that.
Apparently they were. I absolutely hate to say it but I guess that is how UM fans felt with Pine Box. I can honestly say, unless UF can win and help put us in Atlanta, I hope he loses every damn game.Quote:

I mean at some point we have to just say we are better for having him here, we are in a position to continue to elevate, and I like the hire we made to replace him.
I'm not mad at him, his wife, or Stricklin. It's a business, they did what they did, and here's where we are at. Only thing that really pisses me off is him trying to poach recruits.
Yeah, screw him. Mullen said the same things about Collins in the media that we say about Mullen on a message board. I am happy we had Mullen, but he is a hypocriteQuote:

It was time he left
Strick is a self-promoting snake with his eyes on the prize. If what’s good for State is also good for him, he’ll fight for us. If not, he’ll screw us. Plain and simple.Quote:

If you ran a company and the person you wanted to work for you in a critical position worked at the company you started at and left for more pay, you would go and get your person because your job relies on the people you ultimate hire below you.Quote:

This video doesn't bother me. They may not be talking about MSU now, but they will be someday. Stricklin is the one that needs to be blamed for treason.
Folks - maybe it's time to take a deep breath and just let it go. It's built into the nature of the business. Maybe they liked it and became disillusioned over time. Maybe they still love it but couldn't turn down the payday. There is a certain amount of apple polishing that goes into any job that requires interfacing with the media.
He came, he did his job pretty dang well in historical terms, and he got hired away. I suspect they had plenty of great times, great relationships, and good memories of Starkville, as well as interactions with a bunch of people who would turn on them at the drop of a hat if they crossed them in any way and carry the grudge forever. They seem to be everywhere.
Stricklin - through circumstances some of his own making and some not, he ended up where Mullen was probably his Hail Mary pass. It hit. We'll see if he's still employed in 2 years. I think it will be great for MSU if Strick ends up in SEC administration or NCAA administration.
Meanwhile, we got JoMo and things are looking up. We had apparently plateaued, anyway so Strick may have done us a favor in the long run.
Maybe just maybe it's okay to let Dan, Megan, and Scott go on with their lives and we go on with ours.
Beat Florida, go to hell ole miss, and Hail State!

And I do think they did us a favor. Dan wasn't ever going to win the west, so we weren't going to move up further than making a bowl game every year.
He's either gone win big there and make us wonder why he couldn't do that here..or more than likely.. we already know who he is... and that will get him fired in 4 years or less.
This is exactly how I feel, with the exception that I don't respect it at all. Saying things out of convenience and then reversing course is just two-faced. I don't care what line of work you're in, talking out of both sides of your face is just wrong. Guess it was just how I was raised. Great points, as always, Hack.Quote:

Dan pretends he’s great. In reality, he doesn’t even have the balls to get away from his friends on be as good as he could be. He’s a bit of a fraud and puss who will never be as great as he pretends to be.
Then shouldn't we be thankful someone else took him off our hands and we upgraded??Quote:
