Freakiest Lizard Man in the Freak show?

He?s the Jerry Springer of sports media. I don?t know why anyone listens to any of his subjective ideas.

Some are talking about the amount of money Mullen may be offered to leave and which schools have it. Does anyone remember when Mr. Seal passed away several years ago? The rumor (including from a high source in the athletic department that I know) was that after he took care of his family, he left a huge amount to the athletic department specifically earmarked for two things and two things only. 1. To buyout the head football coach and send him on his way. OR 2. To outbid anybody that came after our head football coach that we wanted to keep. No one, not even my high up source in the athletic department knew the amount but my source said he heard a rumor that the amount was staggering. It wasn't long after this that during a press conference announcing Mullen's contract extension that the Ninja stated "If Dan Mullen ever leaves Mississippi State, it won't be because of money."

I rarely sit in the sky boxes but the last time I was up there this subject came up. The owner of the box said it was well in to 9 figures. Don’t know how true but he is a legit booster and I thought he would probably know.

I don't think anyone who talks about it knows how big it is. Those who DO know don't talk. If you think about it, that's as it should be.

How much is remaining on Dans contract is irrelevant... his buyout if he leaves is Under 1 mil. I've heard as low as 500k. Having said that, dans not going anywhere.

I don't think so either. We have done better than most expected already this year. We have perhaps the strongest team we have ever returned in school history next year. It's a team built in Mullin's image. The one glaring weak spot this year has been addressed in a BIG way with the recruiting class. If we get the kid from Texas in, and I think we will, the QB postion is set for at LEAST 4 years. Dan is setting himself up to be THE statue at MSU. If the Seal stuff discussed in this thread is true, the only way he leaves in the near future, and maybe forever, is if we as a fan base and an administration fail to support him. He is setting HIS program up in terrific position when Saben hangs it up.

It?s basically the Alabama football network and sometimes they take the time to blow smoke up the bit of LSU, Florida, and Tennessee. They only talk about other teams in reference to the others mentioned. Hell, when they first started Think Out Loud there were more ancient Native American artifacts on the set than MSU paraphernalia.

Dan ain?t leaving for another SEC team. ND and Penal State are my only concerns with him. He loves the power and control he has at State. He also knows that Florida and TENN fans have unrealistic expectations that will destroy careers before you can win a NC. People forget he was basically ran out of Florida after winning two NCs as OC. That?s ridiculous.

PS can someone fix the ? thing on here?

Why do State people keep on saying the "Dan will leave someday?" He has the administrative and financial support to be our Bobby Bowden or Paterno who built programs from the cellar to the top and are revered. While he may leave someday, it is not foreordained. When our people say he will, it only feeds into the narrative that this may be the year. And, he is not going anywhere this year.

Because he was serious about GA and Miami.

He was only serious about Miami because he wanted away from Strickland. GA is a hell of a job and 99.9% of coaches would want it.

don't use Paterno in ANY example. Ever.
