It’s all really unfortunate. If we didn’t have the team we should have coming back next season, it would be time for Dan to move on. You can only be somewhere for so long.

I don't understand that reasoning. Vaught stayed at OM forever; Bear stayed at Alabama until he was almost dead; Beamer was at Va Tech for ages ... many more examples. Is it also time for Saban to move on? He's been at Alabama longer than Mullen's been at MSU.

Uh Bobby Bowden, Frank Beamer and Bill Snyder all say hello. These are all guys that took over programs that were traditional doormats when they took over and they turned them into winners and stayed there for their entire career. No, its not the norm, but you don't HAVE to move on from somewhere if its a good fit and you want to have "your" program rather than being one in a long line of HCs at some other program. Mullen certainly can make all the money he will ever need staying at MSU.

I’m curious on this. And I freely admit to being stupid. But at what point does more money not matter. When you are clearing millions a year,does a couple more really change the math on your day to day? If you are chasing a championship, I get Florida or FSU but I do not get Tenn, I think that job is fool’s gold.

I’m sure its a personality thing. Some people need a new environment, some people don’t. Saying ALL coaches get burnt out after x number of years is an over generalization. I feel like Dan might have been burned out for a few seasons around years 6-8, he didn’t seem to be this season though. So who knows.

This is my arguement, we shouldn’t roll the dice on a new coach at this point in time with the opportunity we have over the next few years. Last night sucked, but it was not on Mullen like its been in years past.

So with the early signing period looming and a coach having to be in place like tomorrow, and a contract in place to look over, their AD was just to busy to catch a plane? Or could it be that Mullen and Grantham already agreed to an extension before all this got out? I ain’t knocking you or the 247 crew. 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

Agree. There are certainly faults that Mullen has that I think are keeping him from being a great or elite coach, he is certainly a good coach for us, has the relationships with MS HS coaches and knows our lay of the land. You have to start over with all of that with a new coach. Those kind of things are probably more important in a rural state like MS than it would if you are talking about a coaching job in a more populous state.

I live in Chattanooga and am surrounded by UT fans and media. This is exactly what I have been hearing for the last week to 10 days. In fact, Mullen is far down on the list. He is the "bottom of the barrel" so to speak. They want to make a splash, and Dan is about as small of a splash that they feel they can stand.

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.

Not very many here are anti Mullen. It's just that you absolutely flip out every time there is a rumor about Dan and another school.

History has some relevance related to period in time. What you are doing would be like me comparing America today to America in the Civil War or Revolutionary period. A lot has changed since 1940. Dan at this point is actually only about one win on average better than Jackie during the same time frame in their careers. And some of that might be because Dan gets to play an extra game against a FCS school every year- something Jackie didn't get to do.

And no question probation absolutely affected us between 2001-2006. It was our fault- but we were not penalized for anything to the point where we had to vacate wins. I would imagine if Ole Miss was allowed to continue to cheat they would be winning 9-10 a year still instead of the 5-6 they have the past two years under investigation.

You can not compare 1950 MSU with today. You're talking about an era with two way players with leather helmets for God's sakes.

In this era we are a top 30 program every year with our ceiling being a top 10 program. And we're in better shape than some blue bloods right now- like Tennessee.

I only flip out when I see "MSU Fans" blasting Dan with false info. In this era we were NOT a Top 30 program, till Dan arrived. There are people that are hell bent on rolling the dice again. It's all I have ever known , till Dan. It ain't for me. We have the first coach AT MSU since I have been alive that has no NCAA baggage,and has won HERE. The cheaters up the road are desperate to convince us he is a loser. To hell with them.

That's because your era starts in 1940 or earlier. I've seen you flip out on stuff that people said wasn't true- like Dan to Florida earlier this year. Dan talking to Tennessee was true because Rosebowl reported it as well- and most of us said he wasn't going there. So how are "we" falling for it?

No one here wants Dan gone that I can see except for maybe one guy that everyone disagreed with.

You need to have some confidence in our current administration because the reality of life is Dan will leave at some point- might be 20 years from now or next year. But if the rumor is true that Cohen had Norvell lined up had Dan left and that on the heels of hiring Cann as the baseball coach it gives me confidence that we would make the best hire possible.

And on top of that- literally every coach we have hired since Shira has had a winning season and all but one- Felker- at least went to a bowl game. We're in general better about hiring coaches than anyone in the league since 1969.

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.

Well good for you and thank you for your info and this site, slick. If you?d kindly reread my post I never said you hadn?t contributed, it said I couldn?t remember. Plus poor ole 34 was getting it from all sides yesterday so I defended him, not that he needs me to.

Everyone needs it from all sides every once in a while and when it happens I stay out of it and hope it's not me.:)

Lots of historical factors as well- integration, SEC expansion, rise of the power five conferences. You can't compare 1940 MSU with 2017 MSU.

I would like to compare 2018 MSU to 1940 MSU, at least in the number of losses for the football team.:)

We were a better program back then under McKeen. What we did with him killed us. Those post McKeen years were the years when today’s blue bloods were becoming what they are. We missed that boat. We are the closest we have come since with Mullen.

Vanderbilt was also a solid program back then as well. We're never going to become a blue blood because of our state population. That's not to say we can't be solid. Arkansas, South Carolina, Ole Miss, and Kentucky never were going to be blue bloods either. Some like Arkansas and Ole Miss were solid for awhile but it wasn't going to last.

You basing everything off of Allyn McKeen getting fired is way off base and just wrong as far as 2017 goes. We've long overcome that probably when we hired Tyler. And you are also leaving out the fact that McKeen's last season we went 4-4 or something like that and he never coached again. Also there are urban legend rumors about him sleeping around with some influential booster's daughter.

Acting like we can't hire another good coach consecutively is crazy as well. History proves you wrong on that too- we hired Darrell Royal and Murray Warmath back to back in the 50's and both went on to win National Titles and are both in the College Football HOF. And that was less than 10 years after McKeen.

Glad to see Grantham dig in and say he was staying. The irony of that on Mullen is kind of funny

What you mean? Grantham say he was staying if Mullen left?
