That?s a pretty toxic place at the moment. They are going to have to get a Tennessee guy in there to settle things. Also don?t think Currie will be there very much longer.

If he goes there then they overpaid big time or he’s a dumbass to walk into that dumpster fire.

Yes, Sexton is his agent. Honestly, UT does not worry me at all. They would have a hard time selling Croom on accepting the HC position after the Schiano debacle. Hopefully it is just Sexton being Sexton, trying to squeeze a few more dimes out of Cohen.

If he?s a Sexton guy, Id honestly not be upset if we just move along.

I know everyone blames state and ole miss people for the NCAA issues at ole miss right now, but sextonnplayed a HUGE hand in the issues with Tunsil which resulted in the NCAA reopening the case. He?s dangerous and snake. I?d prefer we just stay away from any of his people if at all possible.

Was sexton the issue with Mullen or is it not clear now that Mullen really did just want out?

Don’t shoot the messenger. Dave Barto was asked by Bo Bounds what he thought of the MSU coaching search. Barto laughed and said the names he has seen. He is already talking to other ADs about those candidates. This was much earlier today and he didn’t mention a name. Barto seemed butt Hurt Cohen doesn’t use his service.

Mullen hired Sexton because he wanted out, but I don’t believe he would’ve taken the UT job. In fact, he was set to sign an extension with state at the same time he was set to be taking a “high-level” meeting with UT. He played both sides and stepped out the side door to Florida. He snaked the shit out of everyone. Keenum is reportedly pissed at Mullen and Strick for how sneaky they were. People saying he was leaving for UT are listening to the UT people that he also lied to. He lied to us, but they think he was telling UT the truth? Doesn’t add up.

Sexton s ales Tunsil when he was supposed to sign with another agent and that agent burned him at the draft. Everyone thought it was his step daddy. It wasn’t. It was another agent. That’s why it went away and nobody pressed charges despite the crazies saying the FBI was going to get involved. Once they realize what happened they shut the hell up and let it die down because it would’ve shown improper relationships with an agent prior to him being done at OM. Then, Freeze and sexton go down and have a little meet and greet in Jackson to smooth things over with the old agent and all was well in the world again, except the NCAA reopened the investigation and caused the house of cards to tumble.

Sexton is trouble.

If he got Mullen the HC job at Florida for $8 mill a year it's easy to see why these coaches hire Sexton. Honestly it's kinda amazing to see that yesterday we were in a battle between Tennessee and Florida for our coach. No way that's remotely possible 9 years ago. That's how far we have come as a program.

Not sure we were ever in that battle. Looks like Mullen wanted out and was waiting to see what Florida would offer him. He may have then used State as a way to weasel out some more $$$, but we were never going to keep him yesterday.

I don't think it is wise to start avoiding Sexton. Yes he pimps his clients and he plays schools to get the best deal for his clients but he's doing it with the best coaches available and to the best jobs available and we are considered in amongst that crowd and we want to stay there even though it sucks when we lose out on coaches. At least we are at the table of choices.

Sexton Played Tn hard, Mullen was NEVER going to Tn, Sexton knew this and got Mullen more money from Msu, then Fl being Fl came into play with Sexton laughing knowing they would over pay. He just called all their bluff's and rolled the dice and won big time.

Btw, now I know why Finebaum has been saying Mullen wanted out, it was Sexton telling him. Sexton is a piece of sh*t like I said except to his clients. Low down scum to all Universities!

Tennessee isn’t getting anyone unless it’s a Tennessee guy. My bet is they get Tee Martin which would be awesome compared to where that job is. It’s an absolute dumpster fire and that AD will probably be fired within a week. Why would any sane coach go into that situation? Mullen wasn’t going to Tennessee.

Tn is a bad dumpster fire, Sexton knows this and they can be bullied big time. I was told Cohen wasn't or isn't real happy about being played by Sexton. Florida just has more resources, Sexton was smart with a no to them from the beginning but kept them informed as he did Tn and Msu. When Mullen told Tn no don't send the plane Sexton was tearing up AT&T phone lines.

Nope- Stricklin went to Mullen- not Sexton once Kelly bailed. Foley/Strick wanted to hear from the horse's mouth if he was interested or not.

People thought the Gruden hire might not be the best. Whitten would be a horrible choice. Looking like Tee Martin might be the guy. He actually is the OC for USC now and has done fairly well. Also won more National Titles than Peyton Manning although he can get the running shits for the 98 Championship game. The TD to Peerless was in the endzone that I was sitting in.
