You can stick a fork in KS. Last night sealed his fate.

I hate this, because Dan will be high on their list.

We should be immune to that thought by now.

Dan ain't going nowhere. He's about to hit his stride at MSU.

[Hasu Dackds]

Do you think they'd be willing to pay the money necessary? I always heard the schools that he really would leave for (w/o big money) were Georgia, Notre Dame and Penn State.

[Dawgcentral]

I just read somewhere that if A&M would have coughed up 7M a year, Jimbo Fischer would be there now. It's not like they don't have that $.

No poaching rule in the SEC for head coaches. Name the last currently hired SEC coach to be poached away by another SEC school? I'll wait.

Um, they just spent north of $500M on the football facility. Yes.

The answer is Tommy Tuberville and yes that's been a long time. A coach being poached by another SEC school is less likely than a death penalty being dropped on OM.

No, he won't. Go back to Nafoom.

Seriously, Enforcer needs to do some work.

That's not even close to to the last time. Ever heard of John Cohen? Also, Tubby Smith bolted from UGA to UK since Tuberville left OM. Could also be argued that Nutt going from Ark to OM falls in the same category since Ark never technically fired him. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen and there is no rule against it.

ETA: I'm not worried about Mullen leaving for A&M either, mainly because I don't think they'd be interested in him based on the current resume. But there's nothing official that can keep them from pursuing him.

Hmmm Butch Jones should be 2 and MCe should be 2a. Heck MCe isn't even in the top 20.

McElwain has won back to back division titles. He's good for at least this year and next. Yes, I know the East sucks.

Butch should be up there. Might climb into the mix if they lose today.

Theoretically, all of those schools can pay Mullen what it would take to pry him away, but they won't, because they can get someone else with Mullen's resume for cheaper, or someone with a better resume for the same price.

[Bothrops]

Spending exorbitant amounts of money hasn't gotten A&M anywhere.

Not yet, but they haven't really even started spending money yet where it counts. Sumlin's salary is currently about the same as Mullen's, and his replacement will be their first HC hire of the SEC Network era. A new bar could be set.

[bulldawg28]

PJ Fleck or Lane Kiffin

Football only. If it wasn't an underlying rule for football it would most certainly have happened since Tuberville but it hasn't happened since 1999. You showing examples in baseball and basketball should tell you that schools don't give a **** about poaching other coaches yet they haven't done it in football in almost twenty years. Know why? Cause they aren't allowed to.

It's not any more common in baseball or basketball than it is in football. It's not common, period.

In baseball I think it has happened 3 times in 25 years or so (all involving MSU): McMahon to UF, Cohen to MSU, Polk to MSU from UGA

In basketball, 1 time in 25 years that I can think of. Tubby to UK

In football it has happened twice in 25 years: DiNardo from Vandy to LSU, Tubs from OM to Auburn. Arguably a 3rd time if you count Nutt to OM, which I don't because I think that was a mutual decision between all 3 parties.

Please provide the link in the SEC bylaws explaining said rule. If you can't do that, please explain what disciplinary arm the conference has to enforce such an unwritten policy that can be backed up by the bylaws (fines, suspension from championship contention, a strongly worded email, etc.). You can't.

The Slive rule is a myth. Always has been. There haven't been any qualified candidates at the lower tier schools when big time positions open up. That is the real reason there has been no poaching.
