    That sounds good in a sweet happy world, but it's not feasible. You don't handcuff the guy you hired to win football games.

    The only time an AD get involved in deciding who is recruited is when there is a legal issue.

    I think Scott actually thought we would be proud of him for earning a gig in the big time. Mississippi boy doing good in the big world and all.

    Whether we end up better off in the long run is irrelevant. If your second wife is better than your first, that doesn't make it okay that your first wife left you for your coworker...and then took half your stuff.

    We know what Mullen did here and we don't know what Coach Joe is going to do here....and right now that makes a lot of difference. But I wouldn't be surprised either in two years if we're thankful that both of Stricklin and Mullen are gone

    Agree. Kind of glad an AD with the Mittiittippi Tate inferiority complex left.

    He clearly didn’t believe in MSU like we do.

    I’m so proud of him that I can’t wait to laugh when he gets shitcanned

    “You are either with us or against us!!” The saying goes something like that. I don’t give a tinkers damn what Scott thinks or says anymore. He is against us.

    You could be right, but that has nothing to do with the wrong decisions Stricklin made

    He was gone but UT was running a race from the same position we were... from behind. He was posturing for a bigger offer the whole time and nailed it. Kudos to him a Jimmy for getting the big fish.

    Just from a practical stand point, to say he was going to UT is obviously premature and incorrect. He didn’t go there, so obviously a decision had not been finalized to go there.

    I know what was being said from his agent, Strick on T-day, Cohen, Keenum, boosters, etc... but I think it was all posturing and us and UT ended up with a big ole pile of stink. UT’s coaching search had probably stopped. Cohen was smart enough to start one early, and Sexton was setting up the backdoor deal with Strick the whole time. He gave Strick the cover he needed to hire Mullen. And all y’all will forgive him for it by the time he leaves Starkville next September.

    My source had told me the vey same thing about Mullen and TN. Don't forget Fla had offered Chip Kelly 1st. Dan was their 3rd offer and I'm too lazy to look up the 2nd, but I'm thinking it was Scott Frost. Mullen was all in to TN when Fla offered him. That move dan made created a fire-storm for TN. I believe my source on this one for sure.

    UT had called a press conference to announce Dan Mullen when Dan Got a call from UF. He was smart enough not to sign anything until the dealing was done. With that said, **** him and Scott. They are gone and I will not forgive either of them. They used us and short changed us on work ethic and recruiting which cost us games. They waited to get something they think is better than MSU and they both jumped at it. Traitors.

    We can argue to argue, but had fla not called he wouldn't be here,he'd be at ut. Sucks but true. And he knew it was a bad job. But he was gone. GONE. Doesn't matter I suppose other than helping state fans feelings.

    Sticklin leaving had a direct effect on Mullen leaving.

    If a State grad from Ms. and was Bailey Howell's son-in-law, who had made it all the way to the AD's office at State, and then leave to try to go "big time", what does that say to your FB coach, or anybody else that is being recruited to your school?

    I don't wish Sticklin had stayed, I wish he had never been made our AD.

    At first I was pissed that Merlin left. Was more pissed that strick would poach his own school. Now I'm good with the move. I do believe JoMo will be here for a while and I think Merlin gets run off in a few years due to his lazy recruiting and lack of innovation. My main problem is if FL is such a good job the recruit FL kids and quit trying to take all the State commits. But again he's a lazy recruiter.

    I've moved on, but everyone needs to realize Moorhead will either break our hearts or get fired also.

    I can?t form an opinion on Stricklin because there are contradictory stories being told.

    So true or false, Keenum came in pounding his chest like a silver back and told ******* and Stricklin to get better or get gone? If true, I can?t blame Stricklin for leaving.

    True or false, ******* was gone regardless? IMO ******* was checked out and gone. But The way coaches were passing on UT, it is plausible ******* was never seriously considering the job.

    I agree with every thing Shotgun wrote in the last post of this thread. But what is done is done. Stricklin will be a very wealthy alumnus very soon. We could use his BC donation when his career is up.

    Mullen is recruiting MSU commits because he's lazy as ****. We all know that. He

    is simply taking the path of least resistance. Gives him more time at the country club.
