Evidence that Dan was shopping himself before the Egg Bowl

[Choctaw Dawg]

I noticed Dan's work ethic and his inability to care about the job he had in Starkville when we played Russel almost all season with the future face of the program sitting on the bench. It really came to a head for me when we were down 3-0 at halftime to UAB in 2011.

A history of Dan Mullen:

2009 - 100% Dan - we are respectable, hard nosed, 5-7, 1 play away from an LSU upset and a bowl and a BS holding call against Houston that negated a touchdown from possibly even better.

2010 - 100% Dan - 9-4 - and a BS 1st spot by AU and a BS illegal forward pass call vs. Arky away from 10-2 regular season.
Late 2010 - Dan blows Miami interview because "he thinks he invented football"

2011 - Sulky Dan 50% - 7-6 - Stuck where he doesn't want to be, gets hosed again by Auburn, gives up season until realizing he has to beat OM to make a bowl. Kicks OM ass to make bowl.

2012 -Pissy Dan 85% - 8-5 - Dan realizes to get interviews this year, he needs to win. 7-0 "We believe". Starts looking, shits bed against Bama, LSU, A&M, OM. Losses job offers. Really gives no shits in Gator as Russell throws 2,000 INTS in a winnable game with Dak on the bench.

2013 - Sulky Dan 50% - 7-6 -Stuck again, Dan looks clueless in OSU opener trying get Russell killed running read option. Hosed again by BS against Auburn, Dan gives up but Dak wills us to enough wins to make a Bowl and 7-6.

2014 - Rockstar Dan 90% - 10-3 - Dan realizes he has all the tools he needs to make a run at a new job and "nobody knows what is about to take this field" - Team whips holy ass and becomes #1. Dan puckers up at Bama and becomes Sulky Dan for rest of season. Shits bed against Ole Miss and GT. Dan gets no job.

2015 - Check Down Dan 75% - 9-4 - Dan figures he can turn Dak into an NFL star. Does so, but cares about only that and getting a new job. A kick against LSU away from another 10 win season. Dan starts looking late, and a Bama loss, a lucky win vs Arky, and an OM shit show ensue.
Dan gets stuck in Stark again after Richt snakes Miami from him.

2016 - Bitch Dan 25% - 6-7 - Dan gives so few shits hires Sirmon and he can't decide on a QB. Locker room splits. Some fans think Fitz is prettyboy/gay/party boy with no heart and leadership, Staley is a clown, and Dam Williams is the future. Fitz shows everyone who's boss, wills us to 5 wins, and our GPA saves us for a bowl and win 6.

2017 - Judas Dan 85% - 9-4 - Dan realizes he has a power running game and another future NFL QB but actually needs a defense. Gives everyone wood by hiring Grantham and adding JUCO talent. Dan puckers up against UGA and AU, but they are damn good. Coaches best game against Bama and almost wins. Is determined to get out and almost loses to a terrible Arky team, then is dreaming of orange creamsicle and blue tick hounds while OM plays one of the dirtiest games in history. Dan wakes up sometime in the 4th quarter and starts calling plays again but by then it's too late. Scott Stricklin phones a friend after being laughed at by everyone else, and Dan ****s him for way too much money.

You're memory failed you on the earlier seasons. The bogus illegal forward pass call was against Houston in 09. It cost us the game and should have been reviewed.

Auburn 2010 was a great game. We had numerous chances to win...just off the top of my head: the berry drop, broomfields dropped pick 6, relf overthrowing Perkins up the seem which woulda been a TD. (This was also the game where we ran one entire possession in the wishbone. I loved it. But the we turned it over on a fumbled snap and never ran it again except on goal line)

Auburn 2011 was the bogus game at auburn. Them listening in on our play calls and gettin a first down when the measurement came up short...still can't believe that. Also the game where Ballard scored on third down, no review, and then relf was stuffed on 4th to end the game.

Damn you nailed this in terrific detail

Minor detail - you guys need to quit pinning the 2012 and 2013 Russell/Dak stuff on Muffins. Most coaches would have done the same thing. Russell was not a bad quarterback, and we'd have been better in 2013 had he not gotten hurt. Dak was in no way ready to play in 2012

Yeah - some that may be slightly off, but going off the top of my head it can be hard to get all of it exact.
I always felt bad for Tyler. He was a fish out of water in Dan's system and did a very good job in 2012. But, whether Dak was ready or not in 2012, Russell was atrocious in the Gator Bowl and if Dan gave a shit he would have been yanked. The amazing thing was in spite of 4 INTs we could have won the game. We ran all over them. My beef there is all Dan, not Tyler. 2013 was tough because you had 2 QB's with such different skill sets. no doubt about it.

He was ready enough. You could tell even then the offense had a different energy to it and the kids responded to him.

I do agree Russell wasnt terrible but he was a terrible fit for what Mullen wanted. Mullen did a awful job adjusting his scheme to Russell

One correction, Dan was going to Maryland in 2015 before he started flirting with Miami. He tried to string along Maryland while he found out about Miami but Maryland got tired of his bullshit and hired someone else. What he did to UT was what he was doing to Maryland, Miami ended up hiring Richt and Maryland didn't wait around. This all comes from a high up Maryland grad that had no connection to MSU.

Edit to add: It really makes sense now that he did the exact same thing to UT, he just didn't get the Miami job.

He must have really been unhappy here if he was considering going to Maryland. That would be a giant step backward, but probably an easier place to win.

I think he used Maryland as leverage. "Hey, Miami I have another job offer from a Big 10 school that's close to my home"...

I think it would be easier to win at MSU than Maryland IMO.

The same with Tennessee probably.

He got interested in Maryland because UnderArmor was supposed to pump some money into the program. The owner is a Maryland guy or something like that. He wanted the Miami and Georgia jobs badly. His AD buddy couldnt help him at Georgia because the money guys wanted Kirby and then Richt backdoored him at Miami at the last second. Whats funny is he promised to bring Manny with him to Miami and they got him anyway but didnt hire Mullen.

Some fans think Fitz is prettyboy/gay/party boy with no heart and leadership, Staley is a clown, and Dam Williams is the future. Fitz shows everyone who's boss, wills us to 5 wins, and our GPA saves us for a bowl and win 6.

2017 - Judas Dan 85% - 9-4 - Dan realizes he has a power running game and another future NFL QB but actually needs a defense. Gives everyone wood by hiring Grantham and adding JUCO talent. Dan puckers up against UGA and AU, but they are damn good. Coaches best game against Bama and almost wins. Is determined to get out and almost loses to a terrible Arky team, then is dreaming of orange creamsicle and blue tick hounds while OM plays one of the dirtiest games in history. Dan wakes up sometime in the 4th quarter and starts calling plays again but by then it's too late. Scott Stricklin phones a friend after being laughed at by everyone else, and Dan ****s him for way too much money.

That pretty much sums it up, good job Brunswick. And that reminds me, the reason we have so much talent going into next year is the 9 jucos Dan signed. The only reason he signed them is he had 17ed up recruiting so bad previously he had to go the juco route and got lucky with who he signed.

Just think, one day there will be a thread just like this one about Joe Moorhead.

If Joe is as big of a douche as Dan Mullen then there should be.

But Joe's personality thus far does not suggest that.


On another related note: We will be lucky to keep Joe for five years. Those five years will be special.

Huge difference in leaving a school for another job and pimping urself out year after year after year and not being all in .. and some still wonder why Dan recruited so poorly and we played like shit down the stretch a couple of years.

Explains why Mullen stated we would never lose to Ole Miss again as long as he was here. His true intention was to leave in 2 to 3 years.
