With the coaching rumors swirling, just keep the guys focused and go win the Egg Dan. Like most of our fans, I hope you stay a long time but that's up to you. Like any man, you have the right to pursue what's best for you and your family and no one wants to stand in your way. But bring the Egg back and have Dak go out a winner in DWS before you do... nothing else matters this week.
Agree
All I want for Christmas is the Egg Bowl Trophy. Go get it Dawgs!
I don't think there are any real distractions regarding the coaching search rumors- mainly because they are so ridiculous.
They are ridiculous, but if an SEC job that's high profile opens up I could see that changing...Quote:

Don't think for one second that the players having caught wind of all these rumors. Nice distraction for egg bowl week. **** it I'm just gonna go hunt
Really helps when the site owner puts it out there too like it's 100% fact (it may be but really man?).
Keep in mind that said person would not mind in the slightest if Mullen left. That's all I've got to say.
I think Dan knew he was gone... until he read this message board post.
But 100%, either way, win the damn Egg.
Team was at facility from 9-6 today. They're ready.
I don't care if he's gone or not if he wins the Egg... priorities man. We need that damn Egg and to show who the best football program in this State is. It's critical to our next 3 - 5 years as a program to win this game and get to the right kind of bowl. MSU is bigger than Dan, whether he stays or not.Quote:

It's coming! For real
I can confirm this, he does however read NAFOOM. **Quote:

The only jobs officially open in the SEC are South Carolina and Mizzou- one is rumored to have Herman as their coach and Dan is NOT going to Mizzou.Quote:

I agree- Dan actually could very well be better off taking a larger contract from us. And if what you just said plays out- I would think it would be warranted.Quote:

This "agenda" bullshit makes no sense. Mullen is going to do what he wants- and most of our fanbase loves him to death. There is no agenda. I posted what I heard- just like I do on everything else. When its Ole Miss or Leo Lewis to State- everybody is happy. Now its this- everybody's panties are in a wad.
Let it play out
I'm not upset with you, personally. I just don't understand feeding a fire on a week that is very important to the fan base and program.Quote:

You wouldn't mind if he left; therefore, you don't mind posting that he is ready to get out of Starkville no matter what it takes. I fully understand that you have no control over what happens.
Nobody wants to win more than I do Saturday- including the players on the field. This stuff is not going to affect them one bit.
I don't know. Dak might want to win more than you do. SeriouslyQuote:

That is entirely possible. He could also be leveraging for his assistants' salaries.Quote:

I will fight you for it. Can't tolerate another year of this shit... Freeze makes it 10x worse for me personally.Quote:

Mullen is not going anywhere. Idk where y'all are pulling that shit from. Money isn't everything. The dude loves it here. He's built the program how he's wanted it, he has a great relationship with SS, and he has stability here. Dude ain't going anywhere.
IMO I honestly think it's likely. I could be wrong, but we'll see.Quote:

I honestly don't think we will ever win the big game with Mullen as coach but that's just me. I appreciate all he's done for this program no doubt but I won't be upset to see him leave either. But again I just don't see him going anywhere. On the flip side of that if he is going to leave now would be the time to do it. Cause the next year or two will probably be rebuilding years for us and he knows that.
2016 might be a small step back. But I expect us to contend in 17 and 18Quote:

+1. And I'm not this guy's biggest fan. Chill out people and leave 34 alone on this one.Quote:
