    history is 27 years. What happened 50 years ago is in no way relevant now and doesnt influence anything. That's the problem the Bearfins have-they cant get over the 1960's.

    Lol. Their problem is their recent history. Ours is no better, and if you go back to the era when most current reps were set, ours is atrocious. I know what you want, you have made it plain. I want to keep what we have and build it slow and steady. It won't be a constant upward trend, sustainable trends never are.

    Probably frustrated how the OM Network was swaying players away from us as well as them getting the high 4 or 5* players, especially that had no previous ties or connections to OM, with an "aw shucks" coach and the NCAA not doing anything about it.

    There's been a lot of wasted angst on this topic.
    Its never wasted angst for Dan. He always ends up with a nice raise out of these job rumor fiascos.

    I said in another thread something similar to this. As long as Jimmy Sexton is Mullen's agent and Mullen's name is a hot commodity this type of thing will continue. It's called doing business to help your client and yourself.

    ..and 1950's. Vaught got there in '47 and lasted until early 70's when he left and came back for a year or so...the hay day and ebb of segregation

    The death of his career will be no mystery though.

    We have had 3 Coaches in about 30 years. Name me a school who has had fewer? Then think about revolving doors in other places.
    You hear those bells mother-fudder....an Air-RAID is coming and that is yo ass!

    I was thinking the same thing. We must be the most stable job in the NCAA.

    Every football coach we have had since Wade Walker in the 50's has had at least five seasons at MSU.

    This

    MSU football history started in 1990.

    What we were before then & what we have been afterward, are drastically different.

    3 coaches in 27 years is fantastic. What happened 30 years ago, which in college football, due to TV contracts, home games in Jackson, etc..., was a different era & is irrelevant.

But if a contract was ready to be signed logistics didn?t cause the meeting to be canceled.

    And i trust my source at Tennessee 100%. They gonna have to miss on a few for Dan to get an offer.

    That?s the last thing I am gonna say about all this. But as much as you wanna believe your sources are right. I know for a fact mine at UT is right. I never said he couldn?t end up there. I am saying he isn?t their top pick and neither was Gruden
    To be fair, I can?t remember one inside tidbit or sourced nugget that you?ve shared with the board. Not saying you haven?t... Now 34, he seems to have some really good connections and provides good insight, IMO. Now his delivery, tone and tact could use some work.

    Care to ask him where he got some of that excellent inside info over the years. Dude me and Lee are friends. And my intent here wasn?t to bash Lee or ED in anyway. I love ED and defend it to my core. But people can be wrong as well

    And for the record I didn?t say Lee was wrong. I said his source was. And as it played out he was. And i am attempt at peace I will leave it at that.
