Did Anyone Hear the Story About Aeris Asking Mullen To Speak To The Young Guys?
Apparently, during the remote throwing panic yesterday, the sideline reporter said that Aeris Williams asked Mullen to speak to the young players about how he would be here next year, as some of the younger guys were worried and weren?t used to rumors like the older players.
I was in the middle of a yelling at my TV and punching pillows when this report likely took place.
Did anyone catch the gist of it?
-
He asked Mullen to explain to the young guys that Mullen rumors come up almost every year and that he isn?t going anywhere.
-
He also said Mullen told them they weren?t getting out of off season conditioning because he wasn?t going anywhere.

Sigh...There will be wars and rumors of wars.
Gets old. I know it must for Dan.

Dan could stop it if he wanted by telling Sexton to not put his name out there. Maybe it's an ego boost to hear his name mentioned for other jobs or just part of the game for a pay raise that agents play. Sexton did it with Freeze and Florida.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that does this.

It's every reporter and pundt mentioning his name for X Y Z job. Sexton and Dan have no control over that and are not pushing that narrative. As long as Dan is successful here, they will mention him for other jobs that they believe is better than MSU. At this point after 9 years, we should understand this by now. And Sexton will do his job to use what the media is doing as leverage for Dan to get more what he wants. Which he should

The last three games an announcer has mentioned in some form or fashion that Dan told them he is happy and not leaving.

This. Dan has no control over the talking heads, none. He especially has no control over those that have an agenda.

After this year when he shows no interest in Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas, etc..... I think it may die down. I think with us competing for the west again next year like 2014 people may realize he has a really good job.

This isn?t Sexton. Remember everyone said it was his shitty agent before Sexton and that when Dan switched Sexton would not let his name get out because he handles things the right way....
Well right on Q, the Dan to XXX started up again as soon as people realized we are good. It?s not Dan, it?s not Sexton. Dan has said at least 5 times I?m aware of he?s happy, built a great program and isn?t going anywhere. And yet they press still bring it up every single day. That?s not on Dan, that?s an agenda driven press.

This is totally media driven. Media says it every day. ESPN has a crisis and they need high profile and good coaches at the institutions that drive hits to content.
ESPN needs schools like Tennessee and Florida to be relevant because of fan base size and the potential for hits on articles that they could write. Mullen to wherever drives hits. But just think about the future potential for hits if Mullen were to go to a higher profile school and improve those teams. Potentially very lucrative because bad teams don’t generate content hits unless it’s about them replacing a coach.

The rumors will only get worse if we go to the Citrus and end up playing Notre Dame. Headlines will read "Many consider this game as a job interview for Dan Mullen." The stories are probably already written and they're just waiting to run them.

Didn’t realize the Notre Dame HC position was opening up this off season.

Well the big thing is there probably aren’t gonna be any jobs open he would even consider. If I were going to get concerned, a job like Ohio State, Penn State, USC, FSU, maybe Oklahoma would have to open up. He’s not leaving us for anything less because we are a Top 25 program now.
He’s not going to rebuild a team that’s similar to us and whether people want to admit it or not, Tennessee and Florida type situations are way worse than our jobs currently. Total rebuilds at programs with massive expectations. 4 years ago those are clearly better jobs. But now we are on the verge of 3 of our last 4 years having 9 wins or more. That change in culture makes this job a hell of a lot more attractive to stay at.

It is Sexton's job! Make your client look attractive, make him more money in contract negotiations, in turn make Sexton more money. It's a very simple concept.

It was questionable up until their run this year and some griping could start back if Stanford happens to take them out. The early UGA loss coupled with last year really had them going.

Wat? Sexton doesn’t float names to get his clients raises? Who said that?

It keeps MSU as a program in the spotlight. We have a hot coach.
