Not trying to cause a problem, I just hate double standards
It was a random enough person that it was apparently relayed to you. And I stress the word apparently.Quote:

People outside the program don't know what goes on inside the football program so perception is reality.
I know it's not what many here wanted to see happen but we could do much worse at this point. If Mullen doesn't improve as a coach next year then there's more for outsiders to see and that perception will be different.
We will beat Arky and upset OM at home so this discussion will be moot come Black Friday. That said, I'm sure the admin is totally fine with Dan. I'd rather know if the big money shares the same opinion. That's the only opinion that matters. Screw whatever your AD friends say.
Hahaha... No see that was to shut you up... Not them. Hahah, great point.
No laughing matter if true though but pretty typical. We wonder why we always suck. We expect it. Hellwe demand it !!!
Who is greg Byrne(galt)?

The bottom line is it all comes down to the Egg Bowl. Which is pretty much what I have been saying.
I would not expect the administration to say or be anything other than supportive of Dan at this point. We still have a chance to go to a bowl. Even if they know that they are going to fire him, you don't say it or leak it because if you do then you end up with a situation where there is a lot of controversy amongst the alumni and even worse you have a coach that will go into "don't give a shit" mode.
Really and truly, losing to Arkansas this year SHOULD be enough to get fired regardless of the outcome of the Egg Bowl, but the reality is I don't think that game matters too much.
bottom line is the money alums will make the call, not the admin and I assure you if we lose out or if we beat arky then lose to OM by 17 or more Dan will be fired. And as for the Hud debate everyone likes to say he is going somewhere else. My question is where? A school like florida or aTm is not going to go after him as a top choice, as I have said dozens of times he is just simply making sure we know he's not gonna be walked all over just because he want's the job. It's sounds clich?' but he is "playing hard to get". That's his best move. It will equal more money and more decision making ability overall. Either Hud is the coach at State next year or he will remain at Louisiana Laf. Mark it down.
All AD's are puppets. It's a matter of who is pulling the strings.Quote:

Schools like those get someone that has risen....teams like MSU catch coaches as they are rising before other big schools draw interest. That's why I'm not buying the "Hud is going elsewhere I'm hearing (wink, wink)" BS. Truth is, he is MSU ready, but not Florida ready. It is what it is. Most of us just seem to think he will be a homerun hire that will eventually be a candidate at a really big school if we don't act quickly.Quote:

I dont see Dan making any changes this off season to the staff or the way he recruits because no one in the Bryan building has the balls to hold Dan's feet to the fire. Mediocrity only acceptable at MSU
Did I read on here that ultimatums come with hiring Hud? Things like, if he comes to MSU so and so in the admin has got to go.Quote:

If we lose out, we would be 4-13 in our last 17. If we make no changes at all, not firing Dan necessarily, but some assistant or coordinator changes, then I'm canceling my TV season tickets...DONE!!
That's the point Cadaver- this is not a speculation thread- this is "stance the admin is taking" thread
All of this is BS. Like I said before, no way will the aathletic dept be leaking anything right now. The customary "all is good, Dan is the man" is all you are going to get right now.
With that said, I fully expect Mullen back next year. We don't have a wise athletic dept.
I'm with Thick. My daughters Junior Bulldog Membership is out of here.
See how the admin deals with that!
I'll be pleasantly surprised if he signs an extension before the end of the year. If he doesn't, I'll be convinced that they're waiting for a reason.
Pretty early to take this stance. A loss to Arkansas absolutely has to be the final nail in the coffin. They are awful.Quote:

But you admitted yourself that it is second hand info. So I think it's fair to call it speculation. I'm not trying to be an ass here. Just pointing out that it's entirely plausible that the administration could be putting out the dreaded "vote of confidence".Quote:

No- this is the source that told me Crooms was going to be fired after we lost to Ga Tech, that Chris Jones was coming to State, that Augustus and Sidney failed drug tests and would be suspended months before it happened, and that Melvin wouldnt be returning 2 months before it was announced.Quote:

So if lose to Arky and to OM let's say 31 - 17 we keep Mullen. The adm better get ready to lose a lot of supporters.
Then we can move on to destroying the next coach's career.Quote:

I haven't been around here long but if you combine all these "troll" posts and this bit of information, it makes me skeptical. Maybe its just because I am a "half-empty" type of guy...Quote:
