Im not that easily offended. Im actually in the group of dont be a snowflake when people disagree with me. Just saw a lot of irony in your posts in this thread. That's all.

I find it ironic Random Poster that you say you hate narcisistic, elitist, I am better than you school to the north but display so many of the same qualities we all hate about them.
All this bitching back and forth doesn't change the fact that MSU has already taken Mullen off the table for every HC job not in Starkville. Absolutely nobody is going to match the salary we pay Mullen and he damn sure isn't leaving for less pay. He is stuck with us and that's a good thing as long as he doesn't get complacent or lazy on the job which I can't say is 100% true all the time but honestly who doesn't get lazy from time to time at the same job they've been doing for 8 years straight. Rest and being lazy at times is good for the mind and body. It makes you more effective when you are actually working. Over rest and too much lazy is bad though. Does anybody on this board work 100+ hours a week for 8 years straight? No or I certainly hope not or you'll keel over and die soon.
I'll remind everyone since you guys seem to forget so quick:
Mullen went 9-4 last season and for the 1st time in his tenure- DID NOT get the automatic extension back to 4 years. There's a reason for that. It was his job shopping. Now you guys can try and act like ESPN is full of shit and there is some big bear conspiracy- but his name keeps ending up there because his agent is working to get him some of these jobs
We have folks with an agenda. To make Mullen look like he is after every job in the counrty. You might say he is getting the Stansbury treatment. This board used to be about promoting MSU. Now it is becoming a petty rumor mill, most of the time with no real info, that is rivaling the Kardashians. So much for a pro MSU site.
Not going to link or read but Bonner has an article up with quotes from Mullen. Title Mullen/MSU working on a contract extension.
Yea it's real easy to tell someone they have to work 100+ hours every week for eight years straight from your computer. If Dan needs rest from time to time I am all for it. He is a grown ass man he knows his body and mind better than everyone. I trust Mullen makes the right decision on how much he works based on what he needs to stay of sound mind and body.
What is funny is many of you that are pissed at him "looking around" wanted him gone half way through the season and most of yall said it would be best if he took another job instead of us firing him. Now yall are bitching about him supposedly looking at other jobs when that is what you wanted him to do in the first place...
The agenda is strong in this thread. It is a mute point now. Dan Mullen will be here next year and my guess would be he will be here for the foreseeable future. Will we have to endure the Mullen "rumors" every year until he leaves?
Lol@agenda.
ESPN confirms what I've said and it's an agenda. ESPN just doesn't want Mullen to stay at State do they?
What's more likely to be true, Mullen works less than every other SEC West coach or Mullen has less "help" i.e. office workers, tools, money for recruiting needs, elite assistant coaches etc.. than every other SEC West coach? If we really want to improve Mullen's recruiting we have to make sure every detail involved is equal or better than our competition. The problem with Mullen's recruiting isn't Mullen it is Mississippi State University always being molasses to change with the times. We see this in every aspect of our University. We aren't trendsetters we are bitching followers that never want to spend money for anything. Here's a weird random example I just saw this last week. I went into the store Lids to buy a Dallas Cowboys hat and I see the college section of the store has all the big name SEC schools of course and it also had an entire rack for USM and another one for Old Misses. They didn't have one single MSU hat in the store yet they had an entire rack for Southern Mississippi. This applies to every ****ing thing that has to do with MSU. We have ****ing dinosaurs running our University.
On paper, Oregon is better than what he has. A lot better, actually. And Mullen is 10x the candidate than the guy they ended up with and everybody knows it. That is the whole point. If he wanted to be the coach at Oregon, he would be the coach at Oregon. He wasn't "listening" (or whatever you want to call it) that hard to them if he isn't in Eugene right now standing on a podium. Just because somebody on the search committee talked to his agent on the phone doesn't make him a finalist, but thats all it really takes for him to be quoted as such in the article by a confidential source. You posted the article with follow up comments to try to prove that Mullen is doing what "he does every offseason", whether that is listening to pitches or wanting out or job searching or whatever your definition is. The reality is that the article actually proves the opposite to be true.
He's supposed to develop a functioning Marketing program for the University and create media and law majors too? These are the three areas that we get slaughtered in every year. Marketing, media and law. We are SWAC level at best in these three areas. You can go to any Lids store in America and find an Auburn or Old Misses hat. You can't go to any single Lids store outside of 4 hours from Starkville and find one single MSU hat. That is a ****ing problem and it isn't Mullen's job to fix it. He needs help. Our University must help him yet we don't. Why?
The article doesn't prove shit either way. I posted what the article stated that was it. A bunch of people ran with it and discussion/argument ensued. I've clearly stated what my "agenda" is and made no secret about it.
On paper doesn't mean shit to a person actually having to decide on a job. All of what you typed is exactly what everyone else is doing. You're nothing special and your post is old.
Part of why he makes so much money is to demand change to make his job more successful. If he was making 3.4 then maybe that's a little different. Marketing and media could be a little stretch of that but the recruiting and everything about it is 100% in his control. And if it's not he's not doing enough to make it that way.

If I remember correctly, you were one of the guys wanting him to have an opportunity to take another job at the end of the season?(in your opinion it was what was best for the program) So technically shouldn't you be glad he is/was "looking around". Again, your narcissism and arrogance is very similar to everything ole miss. I am hoping it is just to drive views and clicks and if that is the case then congrats and sorry for misinterpreting your personality/intentions. If not, then it is sad that you need to be the end all be all of sports message boards on the internet and feel the need to be justified on every prediction you make. And man, am I glad AJ brown didn't end up at Ole Miss. and That Danny Etling is going to be the first QB taken in the draft he had an unbelievable season and got better every game.***
Dude, I have already proven the article wasn't all that you posted. Keep sticking by that though. You also say that you've made your agenda no secret that you want Mullen gone, yet you start another thread thanking Mullen for talking publicly about his extension. You really are all over the place. Congrats on drumming up board hits I suppose.
**** Espn.
