Good and bad. No coach should be getting an extension after a losing season (unless you're the Shitbird's coach for the next few years). But on the other side, it should lead to more stability through the next few crucial years of being the only relevant school in the state.Quote:

It's about time. It should have happened last year.
he should at least go by Rosebowl a new car. And I'm not joking.Quote:

It's hard to know for sure since our last AD liked to purposely obfuscate things when it comes to salaries. Gives Dan 4 year contracts that average "X" amount of dollars over the life of the contract. So, maybe the intense bastard just decided to pay Dan the highest level reached under the old salary agreement for 4 straight years. I'm okay with that I suppose. Not sure any real raise was warranted based on this last season's CF, but an extension of at least 2 years was needed for the perception of stability.
I think it's an appropriate extension. Most of the woes last year were on the defense, and it looks to have been rectified.
Mullen was told of the cheating in February 2016..... and he held everything on an even playing field.Quote:

I'm OK with it, we need coaching stability for recruiting purposes, I just hope we got a serious buyout to our advantage. In Cohen I trust, I think he's smarter than Sexton!
And like clockwork, Paul Finebaum going on-and-on showing his obvious irritation at us for giving this contract to "a coach who had a losing record last year". Says it's all about poking UNM, and seems to be insinuating we are rewarding Mullen for his role in bringing his BF Hugh down.
17 Pawl!
Lmao. You and Yancy think Rosebowl got them in trouble? They got themselves in trouble. Rosie just helped leak it when they were denying it. Same as this place, although Rosebowl's "deepthroat" was impressive down the stretch. The only two semi-accurate reporting outlets on the NCAA investigation has been here and on scout.Quote:

In regards to Finebaum I wish our program would just avoid his show. I don't think he has as much influence as he thinks he does.
I'm fine with this. Basically the same salary and I hope it has performance based incentives in it for winning the SEC, winning the West, New Year's six bowl wins, and of course beating Ole Miss. Hopefully there are incentives for a top 15-20 recruiting class as well.
Dan did what I wanted to see in the offseason. Hired a legit DC, finished strong in recruiting, and made a move that helps us work around Hevesy and replaced Sallach.
Probably still pissed about "6-3" ;)Quote:

He sees our slowly but surely program actually is bulldibf for the long haul, and with some better OL classes, will start pushing for the West due to QB talent and development. Auburn and LSU will always be a threat but it takes a dynamic QB to beat Bama consistently. Look at Clemson and HFF. Paul sees that we are turning into the best QB coached team in the conference and now are bringing in top talent QB with regularity. He's laahing out like a scared and threatened animal.Quote:

Back to topic, Mullen getting an extension is good for continuity. It's like the Steelers/VaTech model and it's our best chance to be successful. The end of this season was the first time I felt like Mullen was 100% committed to State and I'm glad we repaid that commitment. In the long term, I hope it was the right decision. For State, if the buy out didn't go up its probably a good business decision.
To what move are you referring?Quote:

Hopefully for longer than 5 weeks this time. Aint gonna lie I was worried at times this year but Danny Two Gloves has knocked it out of the park since the Egg Bowl
IMO, an extension of his contract should have been conditioned upon Mullen removing Hevesy as OL coach.Quote:

At first I thought I was just a dumba$$, then I thought you were being coy but now I think you're just posting rambling random crap. Mullen was told in 2016??? Hell, Mullen has known Ole Miss is a bunch of cheaters since 2009! And he's known Freeze was dirty since 2012. Again, maybe I just don't understand your posting style or something...Quote:
