"Gotta a really good team coming back...."
Why not UF:
"Dan is NOT the right fit and wants new experiences.....media likes to connect dots that aren't really there"
The "Dan may leave MSU" story is a cheap piece of work for any sports hack. They can come up with a little Bla-Bla-Bla with minimum effort and at least to themselves, look like a knowledgeable sports expert. The truth with Finabaum is that he caters to Alabama and Auburn fans and a few others. He doesn't have to do much to please his Bama and Barner/plainsmen/wareagle,tiger/whatever theyare fans and he knows that.
I can say one thing for Paul. He fell into a bucket of money when ESPN hired him. Still doesn't make him knowledgeable, or a sports expert. Certainly doesn't mean he knows shit about what Dan Mullen is going to do.
Paul is probably the least qualified person on that network.Quote:

The numbers just don't work. Same reason LSU hired O. It doesn't make sense financially for them to pay Les, plus Jimbo, plus his buyout at FSU. Same goes for any other P5 coach they could have hired.
I actually enjoy SEC Network and most of their content. With a huge exception to the idiot Paul Finebaum, why is he the voice of the SEC?Quote:

Some are talking about the amount of money Mullen may be offered to leave and which schools have it. Does anyone remember when Mr. Seal passed away several years ago? The rumor (including from a high source in the athletic department that I know) was that after he took care of his family, he left a huge amount to the athletic department specifically earmarked for two things and two things only. 1. To buyout the head football coach and send him on his way. OR 2. To outbid anybody that came after our head football coach that we wanted to keep. No one, not even my high up source in the athletic department knew the amount but my source said he heard a rumor that the amount was staggering. It wasn't long after this that during a press conference announcing Mullen's contract extension that the Ninja stated "If Dan Mullen ever leaves Mississippi State, it won't be because of money."
You are correct, sir!Quote:

I don't think so either. We have done better than most expected already this year. We have perhaps the strongest team we have ever returned in school history next year. It's a team built in Mullin's image. The one glaring weak spot this year has been addressed in a BIG way with the recruiting class. If we get the kid from Texas in, and I think we will, the QB postion is set for at LEAST 4 years. Dan is setting himself up to be THE statue at MSU. If the Seal stuff discussed in this thread is true, the only way he leaves in the near future, and maybe forever, is if we as a fan base and an administration fail to support him. He is setting HIS program up in terrific position when Saben hangs it up.Quote:

People forget he was basically ran out of Florida after winning two NCs as OC. That?s ridiculous.
PS can someone fix the ? thing on here?Quote:

When our people say he will, it only feeds into the narrative that this may be the year. And, he is not going anywhere this year.
Because he was serious about GA and Miami.
And you know this how?????Quote:
