Literally nothing else is confirmed, although his agent shopped his name. Yes, he wants his name out there. Job season is going to be up in a few days and Dan will still be here. So what's next? Simple: Dan needs to win the bowl game and close strong on NSD. If he does those things, we're fine. If he doesn't, we're screwed. But you won't really know where we stand for about another month on the bowl and another 5 weeks until signing day. So here's what we should do: let these things play out. Bottom line, donors will forgive Dan if he delivers. Recruits don't care about message boards or backroom bullshit - all they see is that people said Dan was going to leave and he stayed. And he can say that it's been the same every year, which is true. Let's have the man do his job and see if he can improve. At this point, there's literally nothing else we can do and we ought to give him the benefit of the doubt given how wrong the Maryland reports were.

But but but those people at football scoop said he was interviewing everywhere!!!!

You are a ****ing idiot Todd. I wish you never would've went to State.

Sources---noun. --1. a guy that knows a guy that talk to a guy. 2. Those guys sitting around looking for Ashton, and no not Shumpert.

I didn't read this whole thread, so I could be repeating someone's idea...

If Dan truly does want out of Starkville, then I think he got a good dose of humility these last couple weeks. Apparently he wasn't Miami's first choice, no contact from Georgia, and none from usc. Maybe this could serve as a wake up call to Dan that he needs to step it up in recruiting and win games vs bama and lsu to get to the type of jobs he wants long term. This could be a good thing for our program

Dude, get a life outside of MSU football. I really laughed when I first saw this title but when I read your post, man I feel sorry for you. To not have anything else in life to worry about or enjoy. Get outside your house and get off the iPad or computer and get a hobby.

Hmm. 5 day wait may not have been enough. Did I get redirected to the spirit? Had to. So many bitches.

The point I'm trying to make is because Dan struck out I expect there to be a decline and that is likely going to eventually lead to Dan being fired and us as fans suffering. Remember Jackie won 8 games in 2000 before winning 3 in 2001- and there were cracks in the foundation in 2000 in hindsight as well.

You also have to take into account that Dan won 8 games with one of the greatest players in SEC history at QB- who won't be back next year. There is no doubt in my mind that our record would have been worse this year without Dak.

Urban won 8 with Tebow and was pushed out. I'd say that's worked out much better for Ohio State than Florida wouldn't you?

ETA: Todd needs a hobby or to spend time with family

As you can read Todd the vast majority disagree with your post, you are way out of bounds and are now in the Dark Side.

Don't care about history, the worse ever? Post like you just wrote hurt Msu more than helps, as bad as you want to make all this out, we are in our all time best times as for as winning in the history of our program, granted he doesn't beat Lsu or Bama but look at the overall picture.

Like some suggest, take a chill pill and take a break and quit saying "Wolf Wolf Wolf" cause one day we MAY be back in the days of wishing we would be 8-4.

Half our fanbase ARE women. The other half, who are allegedly men, are ACTING like women. There's the issue.

By the way, all the lady Bulldog fans I know love Mullen and have no issues with him being mentioned in connection with other jobs because "If he stank no one would be talking to him anyway".

3. He needs to win a game over an 9-10 win SEC team at least once every two years.
4. Utilize our personnel more creatively and logically. More Malik Dear for example- and not just limit him to "slot WR". He can play both. Have someone that is a FB. If we're having trouble blocking- bring in a FB or a TE to help- stop going 4-5 wide and asking our five that are struggling to keep blocking without any help. Stop running Dak up the middle on third and seven and then act shocked that it didn't work.
5. Play our younger players more earlier in the season to try to get them ready for the end of the season. No reason why Peters shouldn't have played at least 15 snaps against USM and then gone ahead from there.
6. Find players that play with more energy and are not soft. And play them rather than choke their emotion out of them. We were outhit several times this year- and that is unacceptable. And I believe that is a reflection of the head coach.

So, after all the bitching that's been done about how stupid the gold uniforms are (OUR COLORS ARE MAROON & WHITE!!!!11!1!!), now the answer is to "bring them back"? you're unhinged, dude.

Who would have ever thought that Todd and Will "Blackout Smitty" James would be on the exact same page and melting like him over and over.

Todd you really need a BJ.

Good post, I agree.

I'm worried about Todd. He seemed like a good poster, things have gone a bit off the rails. Has he only been an MSU fan since 2009? Because if a non-descript Wednesday where nothing happened, and that was the terrible news, then he has missed some stuff.

Stuff like NCAA Sanctions. Losing to Maine. Hiring Croom. 45-0. 2001-2006 seasons. Six seasons of utter hell. S-I-X. Yet we are saying that yesterday was one of the worst days in the history of MSU football? Ok, lets all give Todd a hug.

The thought that those two are getting in sync makes me dread baseball season. The horror. The horror.

don't you put that evil on us Ricky Bobby

You know how there are Ole Miss fans that make fun of MSU fans and say "They only care about the Egg Bowl"? This is why.

Dude have you been smoking spice with lil Kim?
