Ok- here's the deal

[BankerDog]

IF he does leave we will go after either Matt Campbell or Bill Clark. Kyle Whittingham hasn't done enough.

[Mutt the Hoople]

30 minutes before game time is not the time to put it up there.

Hail State guys, Dan ain't going anywhere! Please tell me I have a job that pays me 5M-6M per year. All I have to do is win 7 or 8 games a year and 4 of those games are guaranteed and I am a hero.

Now that's my thinking. I am only an engineer.

Tennessee looking for a natty can't see it.

Exactly. I’m hoping once this whole ordeal is over and Dan is still in Starkville that everyone on this board will finally believe that Dan wants to be our Paterno. As long as we pay him what every other school thinks he deserves, he’ll be in Starkville.

Norvell is the name being passed around

[BankerDog]

Norvell, Campbell, or Clark. Clark is a good coach.

I stay so confused.

Dan goes to TN and next year faces Bama, GA, Missouri, Florida and SC, all of which can/will defeat him. The next year, many of those will beat him again. For two more years SEC championship is out of reach and now his job is at stake as TN fans begin to say "Fire the jerk, he is not worth the money we paid him!"

He stays at MSU and ten years from now we still pay him 5-6 million a year or more. X ten years = 60 million dollars.

Why not stay here and finish what he has started?

Two threads and two strong posts. Stop thinking so much. People will start attacking you.**

Clark is a great coach and would love to have him here if we had to go looking but I don't think Clark will be leaving UAB for at least 2 years. Too many people have invested in him and UAB for him to leave after one year.

What affect did that post have on the game? Did any of our players see it. Coach was posting what he heard. Rumors are encouraged it a fuqing message board. Geez the guy brings good intel and we bash him on timing.

The truth is Mullen may leave or he may stay based on his answers this year vs the past I?m inclined to think he is gone. He has been more outspoken this year kinda of deflecting the attention. Regardless we are a better job today than we were 9 years ago and we have a tremendous roster next year and great recruiting base. All things considered we are a better job than that other school. So people calm down about a damn message board post and the timing. We either keep dan or he leaves

This search should start and end with Norvell. He has taken what Fuenta did and made it stronger

[TrapGame]

Norvell would be a damn good hire if it comes to that.

I'm optimistic that Dan stays though.
