Dammit ... no decision. Means it's all still in limbo and the dominoes don't likely fall in place.

[ZedFedder]

Ross Dellenger is a really respected source. I feel with this leaking out you almost have to make a move, right?

[ShotgunDawg]

The entire think feels like posturing to me.

Feels like we're waiting on something.

I wonder if Rosebowl is the source?

Its all but over. Now the question is who we get.

[mparkerfd20]

Keeping him now would be disastrous.

Also interesting that these came out immediatly following the last second of the Tennessee game.

Almost like we decided to sit on it

[dawgday166]

He's gotta be gone at this point.

I wonder if Rosebowl is the source?

I kinda doubt it unless he was told to. He been mostly quiet tonight but when he does say something it's to counter a scenario that would make it impossible to fire Joe.

I think Cohen wanted this out for some reason ... just a guess tho.

[OLJWales]

what's funny is that the powers to be use these incidents to justify just enough to go ahead and pull the trigger. Luke would prolly still be around had WR dude urinated but the 35 yd extra point went thru.

Had JOMO's tenure been better, the fight would have been excused.

Moral to the story: when you are sucking ass, pay close attention to the details cuz they can cut your nuts out.

Well yeah. As I said before MSU will put up with losing but you better not embarrass the school in the process off the field.

If this is leaking he's probably gone or that's the way we are leaning.

Its all but over. Now the question is who we get.

I agree with what C34 said the other day, you don't dump your current coach at this late date unless you already have somebody that you want agreeing to take it. Unless we are totally incompetent (which is certainly possible), we are posturing and have a verbal agreement in place with someone if we have already decided to pull the trigger on letting Moorhead go.

[Todd4State]

Someone asked rose bowl on fb tonight if joe was gonna be fired and Rosie said " to be decided."

I'm guessing this will be decided tomorrow. I don't have sources. But it makes some sense. May release it on Saturday.

I'm not sure how much that matters. If worse comes to worse we know Hud will take it so we have a safety net. It does seem like there is a lot of things pointing towards Napier though.

It does help if you are going to fire someone if you have a replacement but the off the field incidents trump that.

[Commercecomet24]

At least Cohen didn't extend him before the bowl. That may have been the difference. Definitely made it cheaper. Extension may have been contingent on a strong bowl showing or at least the terms of the extension could have been based on that. Needless to say Joe did everything wrong.

You just don't let that get out there and not fire him. I mean, right?

Not-a-fan wanted to get a jab in at MK. He's so petty.

I just hope out Admins ain't fubaring this shit. I hope some good coach has inked a deal with us.

ETA: And I think there is no way you keep him now.

[Todd4State]

McCready is the embarrassment there. Not Keenum.

[DownwardDawg]

I wasnt wrong at Thanksgiving- we lost our marbles when we won the Egg.

You know, there was just way too much stuff being reported for all that to be untrue. I always believed he was getting fired. Hell, I’ve held on to hope this entire time. I never once saw a statement from the AD. I’ve had a feeling this was coming the entire time.

[mparkerfd20]

If this is true, Keenum is an embarrassment

If true, and I believe without much doubt it probably is, then Keenum needs to go too.

[Commercecomet24]

Did Joe double cross us like I heard he did?

Joe was done. There were to many reliable people who's stories all lined up. The same people that told me about Cohen to AD, hiring Cann, Howland, Moorhead, etc. Then he got lucky and win the Egg and certain factions got excited about beating a crappy unm team and here we are

[Todd4State]

I wasnt wrong at Thanksgiving- we lost our marbles when we won the Egg.

So the guys that were going to buy him out and agreed to it backed out?

And for the record I never believed you or Commerce, Rouge, Ari, and etc were wrong. Too many people saying the same things.

[ScottH]

McCready is the embarrassment there.

Possibly a Jock Sniffer? Or not?

[msstate7]

McCready is the embarrassment there. Not Keenum.

McC certainly is, but the deal was done going into the egg and someone stopped it. If Keenum kept joe for that win and now has to backtrack, that's pitiful. Someone who has power has changed course, so it does fit. Whatever though, just fix this crap

[Coach34]

Wow. Thanks.


Lesson there should be sleep on things 24 hours and then make a major decision.

At least Cohen made him prove himself on the bowl trip. Let's be honest if we look good and organized during the Music City Bowl I would have been more open to staff changes. Instead as usual a leopard doesn't change his spots.

[WinningIsRelentless]

I would say our administration might have made a very smart move. You lose the Egg Bowl and he is gone no question, but if you win it let him stay around to sign the recruiting class and coach the bowl game. If he screws the bowl game like JoMo did then you can him. It gives you 10 plus days to sign a new coach during a dead period of recruiting and allows the contract to roll into a new year thus lowering the buyout.

JoMo just wasn?t smart enough to see this.

[Really Clark?]

That's true in that worst case we can get Hud but when everyone thought Rick Ray would be back and then all of sudden he wasn't, we did have our guy lined up. I still feel pretty confident that we have someone lined up to make this move given making the move at all after only 2 years was somewhat of a 50-50 type deal.

[Todd4State]

McC certainly is, but the deal was done going into the egg and someone stopped it. If Keenum kept joe for that win and now has to backtrack, that's pitiful. Someone who has power has changed course, so it does fit. Whatever though, just fix this crap

The boosters are the ones that control these moves ultimately. McCready is trash. He's the guy that said that we got what we deserved when Nick got hurt in the Egg Bowl and now DJ Durkin deserves a second chance.

It was a total cluster after the Egg. The admin can start rebuilding some of the relationships that were damaged when we didn't fire joe by kicking him to the curb now. I look for some serious meetings with some of those folks who felt betrayed after the Egg once they make a change. Let's all hope that we get it done this time or it's gonna be a gazillion times worse

Cohen typically likes to have his guy in place based on the past. Makes me wonder if he kept Napier informed the entire time. Which would explain his lack of interest in other jobs or turning down other jobs.

Assuming we make a successful change, if the above scenario isn't what Matt Wyatt meant when he said, "Trust your administration," then it needs to be what he SAYS he meant.

Exactly. He's a hack. He gets so pissy at the slight questioning of his journalistic integrity, yet he's openly stated that "his business" (a ****ing fan site) does better when OM is doing better....yup, no bias there...none at all.

In his last tweet, he said "This storyline (just trust me) could be absolutely fascinating moving forward.".....wonder what he means here, because knowing him, it's obviously in reference to something negative directed to us.

Bingo. I've believed something to this effect since The extension was announced. I'm not sure how formal it was or if there were set things but I suspect it was probably along the lines of "don't 17 up". I still haven't watched the bowl game but by all accounts he 17'd up.

.... and f the douches like McCready ..... We keep the Golden Egg in the midddle of it all.

I don't necessarily believe Neal's take on the sequence of events, but Keenum has always been way too concerned with beating OM.

Do y’all honestly think Cohen would leak all this out without having his guy signed and ready to roll. I’m not saying we will announce it Fri, but just be patient. There is a reason a certain name keeps popping up...

[defiantdog]

Just say it. I looked at flightaware and didn't see anything good
Did a little research and notice 3 flights that were rushed flights and weren't necessarily planned weeks out. One came from Pensacola (flew in Monday), one from Jacksonville (flew in Monday), and one from North Carolina (which flew in yesterday). The Pensacola is interesting because it's pretty close to mobile..... right?

[defiantdog]

Makes sense.

Why fly from Nola when Napier is in Mobile and Lafayette has an airport bigger than GTR..... why drive to Nola?

Exactly. We are Ms State, after all. I just hope all this leaking doesn't lead Napier to get cold feet.

[Reunion Dog]

The damn jet is gonna fly into Brian Field in Starkville... Not GTR... Damn ladies... Get real...

[Todd4State]

Exactly. We are Ms State, after all. I just hope all this leaking doesn't lead Napier to get cold feet.

Not if we handle it properly. I suspect we fire Moorhead tomorrow and say that we are doing a national search. (wink) Tell any media that leaks Napier as our coach will be cut off from MSU as far as access goes- especially that worm Horka.

We'll let Napier coach the bowl although we can't stop rumors totally. We probably won't announce his hire until either late next week or the day of the Championship Game to maximize exposure if I had to guess. Thursday at the earliest but my educated guess is next Friday.

[Bdawg]

I dont see how you dont make a change at this point. You have neutered your HC even more if you dont make a change at this point- and made it nearly impossible to hire assts for a lame duck.

Would be God awful if you kept him now. No way in the world you can keep him.

[Coursesuper]

And that's exactly what was supposed to happen. Joe was done and then we effed it up. They have a chance to fix this screwup NOW!

Neal is a UNM dick, but he's dead right on this, we had a chance to do it right and 17ed it up. Now its getting fixed, don't agree with all the verbiage that's coming out it makes us look rather amateurish, but its time to move on.

[Johnson85]

I kinda doubt it unless he was told to. He been mostly quiet tonight but when he does say something it's to counter a scenario that would make it impossible to fire Joe.

I think Cohen wanted this out for some reason ... just a guess tho.

It's not Cohen that wanted this out unless he's trying to put pressure on Keenum or somebody else that he needs to persuade b/c the leaks tie his hands w/r/t firing Moorhead and decrease his negotiation leverage. These leaks could be coming from Napier's side. They make it where MSU can't go back so they either have to reach a deal with Napier or go on to plan B (or C or whatever we're on now). Dellenger is a great guy to leak to b/c he has Mississippi and Louisiana ties so it's not obvious who he is getting info from. If this were the normal part of the coaching cycle, leaking might be risky as it might be a reason to tell them to 17 off b/c they are not trustworthy. Don't think that applies since our options are limited at this point (although I think they are good options).

Or it's possible we really need to clean house in our athletic department to plug some leaks. It's crazy that we went from one of the best run searches in history with Mullen (if you remember, there was basically radio silence until we had just about locked Mullen down with some very random rumors, none of which were coming from multiple directions) to now every possible candidate is leaked out. Not sure if that was the Ninja not sharing with anybody beyond the search consultant, or if agents are more prone to leak now than they did then, or if our athletic department has just been filled with a bunch of gossips, or what.

Not sure if you're joking or not, but it's not much further to campus from GTR than the starkville airport. it's maybe a five minute difference. If the pilot is more comfortable flying into GTR, that's probably where they'd go. No clue what the amenities are at Bryan, but wouldn't shock me if it was missing some safety or security features that GTR has.

Correct, this ain't a Birmingham vs Tuscaloosa situation.
