That's true, and I'm not doubting that we can do it. The fact that I can't see what our next move should be makes me nervous. But I'm not paid to be our AD and make these decisions nor should I be. However, it's also true that the most surefire hire has a certain degree of risk to it.Quote:

4) We won't run our QB 25 times again up the middle.
5) No more Brandon Holloway up the middle or playing over more talented players.
6) No more playing a struggling QB when the young guy is moving the ball up and down the field (Tyler Russell, Gator Bowl vs. Northwestern)
Are there any up and comer offensive guys from the Leach and Meyer trees?
C34 is acting like the 8th year senior frat guy riding down sorority row on bid day. Fresh meat for him to devour.
If he wins you willQuote:

Only immediate concern is our current recruiting class.
We pay top 15 salary. We are much more likely to get a Cannizarro type than a RR
What?s old QB coach we had two years ago, Brian Johnson? Bring him in as OC. He seemed to be what helped Dak most.
Cohen was evaluating head baseball coaching hires before he was even AD so I?m sure he?s been evaluating head football coach choices for a while knowing that Mullen likes to look around. I?m guessing we get the right guy even if it?s not some home run hire.

We have the defensive guys, we needed what Mullen brought offensive mindset and QB development, don't see those qualities in any of the floated names. A defensive guy would be a huge mistake and almost Croom like.Quote:

...oh and I️ hope Megan has to drive south of Orlando for groceries. Still though, overall, I️ mean I️ wish th the best.

9) No more not using timeouts when called for, or using them when not called for.
well- then his ass better recruit if he comes hereQuote:

disagree. We'll always recruit Mississippi. It's not like the coaches in the state liked Mullen. The new guy will have contacts and get people inQuote:

This is true. I mean Dan even came in and kept our best recruits for that class. Russell, bumphis, etc.Quote:

We have a solid core coming back that is for sure but there are gaping holes also, we are razor thin on the oline and weak at all receiver pos minus TE. The timing of this couldn't be worse for us. Thanks for being a gigantic douche Jeremy Foley.Quote:

The real question that nobody has asked. Is Hevesy going with him? That guy is a hell of a recruiter.
I feel the same IYOK. IMO this is the most important football head coaching hire in the history of our program.Quote:

Throw in the fact that "old Mississippi way of thinking" is going to get hammered and will be down for the next half decade. We have a HUGE opportunity right now. So, go Cohen go. Find us a winner.
Odom went 7-5 and had the best offense in the SEC this year. He will get SEC COY votesQuote:

Dan Mullen transformed Mississippi State to Hail State and should be thanked for the job he did of rebuilding the program. That said, the new coach is walking into a program with a loaded roster of talent. Sky ain't falling.
It's fallING. It just hasn't yet fallEN.
