To be fair, I couldn't wait to move out of Starkville but I look back on it fondly and would move back. Maybe the Mullen(s) have had a change of heart. Dan might take a pay cut if we could get that blasted Target to come too.Quote:

No he wasn't. I've tried to tell people for a year now that Dan looks back on his time at State a lot more fondly than when he left. He still has plenty of friends in Starkville and tries to get back a few times every year.Quote:

Did his buyout have a non compete clause?
Gimme this Dan and I?m all on board!!

He lost his fire years ago now. You can't coach in the SEC without an intense passion and fire. If we hire Dan Mullen it will end with us firing Dan Mullen.Quote:

His job shopping at the end got old but once again that was the most consistent tenure of a MSU coach in modern times. He put a competitive team on the field year after year. I just don't know how he would work in the new transfer portal/NIL world at MSU.
You must really know Dan intimately to know all this.Quote:

I never thought I'd be able to forgive him for quitting on us at the end of every year after 2014-2015.... BUT, if we can get the DM with the fire he had back then back I could get on board with it.... maybe. We better make sure we have one hell of a buy out and penalties in the contract if he shops his name around every year though.Quote:

Dan literally had tears in his eyes he was so emotional during that dawg walk.
Nine years ago and he's very rich... I would be wary of the Dan we'd get. But who knows, maybe he's got something he wants to prove.Quote:

Probably the same reason Kiffin will eventually leave OM. He thought he needed a bigger place to win a division, a conference title and a national championship.Quote:

Leach beat ole miss last year, he beat a ranked team. It should count. But the rebels didn't end up ranked and therefore, it didn't count as a win vs ranked opponent. Had we lost, it would have counted as a loss vs a ranked opponent bc they would have finished in the top 25. Again, it should be win you play em.
Well, he doesn't have a job, if we wanted him, and he wanted us, we would have made direct contact by nowQuote:

In the era of NIL- having a guy that is great at recognizing talent would literally be the best thing we could have.Quote:

Amen and amen to this!!! Someone else who gets it!Quote:

Exactly! People don't like to try to understand this. It's hard.Quote:

He's been here the past several summers to visit friends and hang out. He was here in July. Never say never.
