Care to share why Bama, the most successful program in the last decade, has vacancies they need to fill? Wouldn't they have locked up their "top talent"? Otherwise, they wouldn't be hiring correct?
Your rention plan theory sounds great, but it isn't practical. Ambition drives people, and it doesn't follow the company plan.
We could have a wet paper bag coaching DL and be great. Saban is trying to disrupt this recruiting class because he is scared. The DL talent in Mississippi would make any coach look great. Just look at the nfl rosters.
This is about Saban trying to disrupt what he sees as his biggest threat in the West.
What has John done that was above average since being AD? Serious question cause the only thing I can think of is paying Vic big money. I think LeMo will end up being a great hire but his handling of he baseball search as a whole was a joke. I like John so I'm hoping I'm missing something but I just don't see what he's done that's anything above average.
Maybe we should just accept that 6+ wins should be a great year for MSU going forward, and just forget about ever competing at a high level. Then we wouldn't care about coaches leaving and recruits decommitting, and the MSU fanbase would never have to hear negativity...and I could get back my Saturday's during the fall and the money I pump into MSU. Because the way things are now, this is only the beginning of this type of stuff.
Where do you think money comes from? Do you think he's sitting on millions in cash? Do you think we paid Lemonis $3M and that's where the money went??
WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY
It's that simple. It's up to the boosters how much we can pay coaches. If you want to say Cohen sucks at fundraising you can, though you'll need to show me the numbers proving he's worse than the previous AD's. The fact is we're poor. Maybe Cohen's worse fundraising is costing us a million or so a year, but even that is a joke compared to Bama.
14 months ago we supposedly had the boosters ready to give out $6M to keep Dan. Joe makes less tan half that. Assistants don't make 3M more than they did under Dan. Lemones can't be making more than 200k more than Cann was, so that's not where the money went. It appears to me like the Boosters were willing to shell out for Dan, but pulled back their total contributions for Joe. I blame them far more than Cohen
Sorry to do this....
Bama football in playoff every year
Bama football top talent 1-85
Bama has Saban to put on a resume.
State football is not Bama football.
Unless it is a very unusual circumstance and you're Pat Fitzgerald you have no true loyalty to a school. It's a job for these guys.
Why are any of you shocked, surprised, angry coaches leave any school? Is it hard to understand? Has anyone ever looked to see how many alumni actually coach at the schools they went to?
I hate to see Baker leave but shit it's not like he grew up in Starkville and went to State. Until all the money from state alums gets serious, and not just puffing sizzle chests and yapping about it, about building a Clemson we will be what we are right now. 6-9 win SEC football program.
Outside of your perception how was the baseball search a joke? We got a young up and comer who apparently has good references. One you keep posting is gonna be awesome. Did he just call up Cohen and say hey I'm lemonis you should hire me and Cohen said sounds good? To me it played out not a joke.
Don’t we have the longest drought against Alabama in the SECW? Yeah I’m sure Saban sees us a huge threat
