The spelling of Dan Mullen...
how I spell his name from now on is how I deal with him ****ing us over after 9 years. I had his back for 9 years. I took up for him. I cheered him on like no other and now that he ****ed us and me I will misspell his name as long as I feel like it. Don't edit. Don't fix. Don't bitch. It's petty I know. But so is Dan Mullen so he won't be Dan Mullen to me for a very long time. He will be Don Muffins. I will fight people over this. Let us deal with it how we need to deal with it. Being petty about his name is how I choose to deal with it.

I just cannot muster the hate for Mullen that some of you have. I do not like him anymore, but I do not like any other sec coaches. If he were out of the sec, I probably would not even pull against him. Mullen was good for our program. Mullen left us a team that could very well contend for the sec this season... he must have been doing something right. With that said, I hope we beat Florida by 5 TDs

I’ll give that to him, he left us loaded.

I see the good things he brought us and left us but that doesn't change how he walked out the door. I don't respect how he handled the situation. Ask Fitzgerald about him and you'll get a similar response in private.

This is where i'm at. As just a fan, I understand that coaches come and go, so what they do ain't gonna hurt me. However, lateral move pissed on his players and the administration that was loyal to him. For a Coach to tell his players they are family and he loves them while all the time having one foot out the door, I cannot forget. I appreciate what he did while he was here and the talent he left, but he pissed on his players, the very ones that are responsible for him being a millionaire. Don't respect or like him for the way he handled that. Screw him! Onto the JoMo ERA!

These are my feelings as well. I actually like the name Lateral Move better than misspelling his name.

I tend to think that the fact he left us with so much talent is a clue as to just how bad he wanted out. He left the year before we should have one of our most talented teams ever. And is one thing I think we should appreciate.

This is what needs to be at the forefront. We have arguably the 2nd or 3rd most talented team in the SEC for 2018- and Mullen still wanted to get out of Starkville.

No doubt. And I'm hoping my boy Fitz is in NYC in early December.

I don't hate him either, but his leaving the way he did was very Tubberville-esque. Had he handled it like he should have, I really wouldn't have blamed him after the initial surprise.

20/20 hindsight Could DM win game no. 11 with this team? Would DM be looking after game 11 and loose game 12?

I liked Dun also. Except in big games, and the constant job searching, and hiring the country club. He did great things here in his 9 years, but I am glad he’s gone. On to the JoMo years!

Break ups after 9 years are probably always gonna be a little ugly.
No idea if fitz holds a grudge deep down against mullen or not, but fitz would not be in the sec if not for Mullen
ETA... my last sentence has a bunch of negatives. Perhaps I am a negative guy lol

We’ll be 2nd most talented, only to Alabama IMO. That is going to be an all time game at Bryant-Denny.

Auburn is going to be damn good too. Being at home gives us the edge- but they are a 9-10 win team in 2018

They’ll be very good. But Fitz>Stidham, at least I hope. I’m expecting a breakout year for Fitz, JoMo vertical play calling will help Fitz grow.
