Good hire. Oregon had no clue what they were gonna do when they fired Helfrich.
USF in play now for Kiffin. They have a really good AD so they should get a good coach.
And media reports that Mullen was the other finalist with Taggart.....

This is a good solid hire for them. But several people, ahem, told them no thanks and didn't interview.
Well this report should make several people, ahem, clear some air on whether there were interviews or interviews were requested and turned down.
Actually if you do a Twitter search for "Dan Mullen Oregon" you see that no media sources say he was a finalist at all. All you get is random fans speculating that maybe it could be him.
It would be bad enough to post something like that if it were true. Why do our fans do this every offseason?
Thank you.Quote:

People on this board need to nut up
Taggart at wku = 16-20 (1 bowl)
Taggart at USF = 24-25 (2 bowls)
Taggart overall (7 seasons) = 40-45 (3 bowls)
Mullen overall (8 seasons) = 60-42 (7 bowls)
Taggart did win 10 this year, but Mullen won 10 in the sec. Taggart has won 8 or more twice; Mullen has won 8 or more 4 times... in the sec west
Bad year for "sources".Quote:

Yep. The subject of false or fake news is all over the news, including sports as well as politics. Facts don't matter anymore

Anybody got a dime!?
As I have said numerous times. It won't matter if Dan or John or Mark come out and say anything. Somebody will know somebody "close to the situation". We all good though. Same team and shit. But for the record Yancy Porter pissing next to a recruit places him "close to the situation". Instead of turning on our own why don't we get back to burning that shithole in Oxford down. I haven't even come close to giving RP all the information I have on that
He turns them down to even interview and that makes him a finalist? That's a stretch

They keep throwing things against the wall in hopes that one day it will stick. Then they can go back and say I told you so. 5) They are part of the very small but vocal minority that wants Mullen gone. Keeping the rumors (even ones with no basis whatsoever) going is their way of trying to get rid of him.Quote:

Glad to see Cohen nut up this year. At least that's what the initial indications have been.
This is I Seen Its thread not mine- but I'll say this:
Cohen being called was just part of the process- Sexton had been talked to numerous times before that. You don't call an AD before you call the agent for interest. And if Mullen had no interest- Sexton would have told Oregon that's the case
Secondly- it may have just been a coincidence- but didn't Mullen fly out West last week to visit with a juco CB? Kinda meshes with him flying to Miami last year during Egg Bowl week to recruit a WR
Draw your own conclusion
Lol...Riiiiiiiiighhhhhhhhht. Conclusion drawn.Quote:

I made no effort to insert one way or another my view on Mullen. Just reported it.
"Than." And you're talking to the wrong people. There's the true MSU people who will always be a part of this university and there's the people who decided to come camp out for a while. You're talking to the visitors.Quote:

Or it could be those camped out people and as inside as they used to be. I know who I am talking to. And I know who I trustQuote:

If you want a coach without rumors of him leaving the only way you are going to get one is hire one that does so bad that no one in his right mind would even think about trying to hire him away. If the rumors are so damaging why do we help spread them?Quote:

Sometimes we share it. Sometimes we don't, but we ALWAYS make the decision on what to share based on what we think is best for MSU, not what we think is best for Mullen.Quote:
