Even in a situation like this where it was very unlikely, kids were concerned. It doesn't matter what we say or think or do. It matters how it impacts the program and its negatively impacted the program every year, whether it's recruiting or our former gump of an AD giving him a huge raise and extension. 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

It would be bad enough to post something like that if it were true. Why do our fans do this every offseason?

I know Twitter is the end all be all for all the ****ing stupid millennials out there but a simple click on ESPN.com, and I know it's not the greatest so spare my that stupid shit, on the Taggart to Oregon link and the third paragraph says according to a source Taggart and Mullen were the 2 finalists.

So yeah every off season our "fans" do this...no every off season our ****ing head coach does this.

And it's also ok to admit you are wrong. And for the record, your ass has been wrong more then right on Mullen

Your hearing isn't always the best. Who developed Dak again?

And another thing...why are all you pussies in an uproar over my first post? Taggart to Oregon...media report, which if any of you would have checked it out on ESPN.com its in black and white, stated it was between 2 finalist one of which was Mullen. 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.

Willie Taggart may have been named HC, but until Mullen specifically and publicly denies interest, the possibility of him taking that job will hang over our heads**

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 trust

But he is named a finalist by a source obviously close enough to the search to be talked to by ESPN...I find that less of a stretch than a source on here that said he turned them down.

Y'all need to get over the rumors. The FACT is that nationally Mullen is seen as have done an almost impossibly great job here. There are always going to be rumors about him leaving because of that FACT. It's not going to matter one bit what he says. He knows that. Most of us know that. 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?

I don't know if it was the day you are talking about last week or not, but there was one day last week he was reported to have gone out west. It turned out he was in Mississippi recruiting. The plane in question was the Oregon State basketball team. Again, that may not be the day you are talking about but it was the only one I am aware of.

This is a good post. Oregon isn't all it's cracked up to be anymore. The rest of the Pac12, and the country for that matter, have caught up to what Oregon has started. The Pac12 has made itself into a damn tough conference to compete in.

Dan Mullen. He was the head coach.

I just think they're self-motivated. Ultimately it doesn't matter though. Half the time we're getting info from people not connected to the university too. The college football world is a pretty small circle when it comes to coaching changes, which is why and how every reporter in the country picks it up quickly. It's also how we know about stuff early. 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.

Further, I can't for the life of me understand how anyone could be pissed at the original post. That's good news. Be happy.

Your awareness is about as good as your hearing.

So Mullen wants to leave, keeps being a finalist for these really good national jobs, but can't find any other job that will allow him to leave? K.
