It becomes pretty clear when you think of it in a sense of women. Would you want to stay with a woman who appreciates you're money but would jump at the first man she considers more attractive than you? Do you choose to stick with her bull shit and allow her to have you by the balls? or move on and realize that there are many fish in the sea.
The fact is we are married to a woman that doesn't love us and we are basically just sitting here waiting on divorce papers. I appreciate Mullen for laying out the foundation for success at Mississippi State, and part of me says "if he stays he will find his passion back and everything will go back to normal", but realistic me says "something has changed, he doesn't want to be here, and hopefully 2 years from now we won't be looking back at this point of time wishing we had moved on then".
It's a very tricky situation, and if Mullen finds it in him to stay and give a ****, he needs to come out publicly saying he is the coach at Mississippi State and will be until he is told to leave. It really is that simple, and if he were to say that, 99% of the fan base would have his back. But I just don't see him saying that and I think that means it might be time to start looking around ourselves. This is a time when we as fans and especially our athletic department can not act like we are still "poor ole Mississippi State". We have nice facilities, a beautiful stadium, a more than passionate fan base and can easily pay a top 15 coaching salary. Our Athletic Department needs to be a step ahead in this situation and not get caught off guard IF shit hits the fan.
