I'm not trying to be right- I'm right on this.
So junior highish and pedestrian (it's a VERY boring soapbox you can't seem to get off of)
But when you troll Ole Miss - the Network - you are Gold!!
Give us more of the good stuff!
People suggesting that he may be a candidate does not mean he was actively pursuing the job.
Also your last 2 lines there are absolutely worthless. Just because someone has looked around in the past, doesn't mean they are leaving or trying to leave. Saban almost took the NYG job last year, but didnt end up with it. Does that mean he is dying to leave BAMA? NO
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.
If Mullen wanted the Oregon job, he would be flying to the Northwest right now. Oregon has Nike money, they'd match plus his salary. No way they chose Willie Taggert over Mullen. None.
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.
There have been multiple media people say Mullen was a candidate for the Oregon job. I don't understand what some of you are arguing about. It's pretty clear Mullen wanted the job. It's a great job. Better than ours. Who cares? He's still here.
those 2 games are because he was suspended. He stayed in the doghouse because of it

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.
Poor argument. But mullen hasnt exactly earned his 4 mill either
Are you serious? There is no comparing resumes. WT doesn't even have a winning record with G5 teams. No experience in P5 conferences, never had a team ranked #1, not known for putting guys in the NFL. Mullen's background as a National Champion OC....
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.
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.
We don't know, and probably never will know the truth...but let's not pretend there was no other option. The same things that have frustrated a whole bunch of us over the years would be exposed by an in-depth search done by anyone looking to invest millions and their immediate future on a coach.
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.
