I think that's the only way it'll ever end. It's like the kid that craves attention and will do or say anything to get it. It used to just be semi amusing but, It's really reaching absurdity nowQuote:

It took Brandon Holloway getting hurt to the point he was unable to play for our season to get better.
The thing is- I dont blame Mullen for trying to get the Oregon job- its a good job. I was much more angry about him interviewing for the Miami job during Egg Bowl week in 2015. But let's not act like he didnt try to get it. He missed out on his 5th job attempt (Miami twice, Penn State, Georgia, and Oregon) and is quickly finding out he is not a very hot commodity.
We are finally starting to branch out of Alabama and Louisiana to recruit thanks to Sirmon and T-Buck. It's taken 8 years to start recruiting like we need to. 8 damn years. Work your ass off and let's get better
Mullen took over for a horrible coach that left him some talent to build on quickly. Dixon, Sherrod, Jackson, Relf, and numerous defensive players now in the NFL.Quote:

Relf was an absolute bruising runner that was perfect for the Spread. Mullen absolutely made him a better passerQuote:

So you intend to try to run Mullen off, no matter how many years it takes, and the program is just collateral damage?
Simply not true.Quote:

Matt Bush from USA Today said, "Mullen has looked around before, having twice interviewed for the Miami vacancies." as part of his article on Dan being a candidate.
Former Oregon HC Mike Belotti said Dan was an ideal candidate.
An absolutely bruising runner that couldn't beat out Tyson Lee in 2009.Quote:

Be a true Bulldog and back the coach, in spite of any rumors, truths, lack of focus or whatever, and don't contribute to the negativity! Now I'm not saying don't voice displeasure with results or recruiting even but you have really taken the dickhead to a new level. Come on man and just give a rest!

Just because an AD says says someone is an ideal candidate doesn't mean that the candidates shares the same feeling. Kate Upton is an ideal wife candidate, but unfortunately she isn't in the bed warming it up for me.
And like I said in another thread, do you think it may have been set up by Sexton to have leverage for extension?! It's business and maybe you should just be a little more less right on purpose!Quote:

No- because his looking around last year was the very reason he didnt get an extensionQuote:

Either a. There really wasn't anything of substance to this rumor. Maybe they gauged his interest.
Or b. He told them he wanted to stay in Starkville (as bad as that may sound to some folks)
There is no other scenario.
But he's getting one this year doing same thing? Interesting (not saying you're wrong on last year, just interesting).Quote:

those 2 games are because he was suspended. He stayed in the doghouse because of itQuote:

And what point will you guys finally listen?
Not defending rp's comments but he is saying that oregons choice was better than mullen. Now i dissagree completely b/c mullen has pulled somethig off at a school with the biggest odds against it. But rp isnt saying mullen is a bad coach. He's just pissed that mullen has been an unbelievable ass enroute to 5-7 and a tough road back to relevancy.Quote:

based on what? Taggart has turned around 2 programs to Mullen's 1 and won 10 games this season while Mullen couldnt beat South AlabamaQuote:

Taggert may end up being great but their resumes are light years apart. They didn't pick WT over Mullen. And they have money for days so that is no barrier.
Maybe if we all say RP was right he will shut his pie hole. That seems to work when my wife argues with me.
I'll start. RP you were right.
He played in the first 5 games. He wasn't the starter.Quote:

or C. They decided Taggert has completely turned around 2 programs in short order, and is a better recruiter, so thought he was a better fit.Quote:

Nike money wants a coach that can compete for the NC. Dan has so far shown a penchant for doing things that will lose a game or two each year that we shouldn't. At MSU, the good news is the great stuff he's done has moved us up from the basement, and got us to 10 wins and a NY6 game.
But at Oregon, Nike's not going to be happy with 1-2 losses they shouldn't have.
