Dr Keenum speaks:
?We?ve built a football program at Mississippi State that has enjoyed unprecedented success over the last nine seasons. Dan Mullen has been the catalyst of that success and we wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors. It?s a tribute to Dan and to MSU that he has drawn the interest of several premier football programs around the country. Dan?s tenure at MSU coincides with my own and we?ve had a chance to do some special things together for our loyal fans and friends.
?In anticipation of this development, MSU has already begun the process of an orderly and expeditious transition to new and exciting leadership for our football program. I have shared my vision with Athletics Director John Cohen and I am confident that John will move quickly and decisively to fill our coaching vacancy with the best possible person to build on the success of our program.?
Sounds like we are not caught flat-footed here.
Everyone wants to be a beast...until its time to do what beasts do.

This ain?t the old days. Keenum and Cohen ain?t getting caught with their pants down.

Nothing like admitting we’re a stepping stone.

nothing about that says we're a stepping stone. it's all coach-speak. Dr. Keenum can't come out and say "Ok, this asshole is leaving so we're moving on." but that's basically the gist of it.

I was more talking about the bolded part, implying we have been looking for a coach for a while. But if thats what you got out of it, cool.

When he says Premier college football programs were interested, that feels like “poor ole State” talk. We concede they’re better.
-
What Keenum was saying in "In the anticipation of this" part was that he and Cohen put a number in front of Dan and said here it is and we need a decision within a reasonable amount of time. They wanted Dan to stay, but they weren't going to play his game this year.
