You forgot if Mullen were still here.......*****
Fire SloMo right now is a popular thread too. Also since Fitz sucks that means both Key and Mayden suck and it's obvious the high school QB is better than them despite still being in high school and he knows Moorhead's RPO system much better than the 3 current QBs that have been learning it for a year.
Watching Fitzgerald execute this offense, I'm pretty certain he hasn't looked at the playbook outside of practice.Quote:

Yea, playing against those brutal church league defenses has got him ready for the SEC***....Joe starts him at his own peril!Quote:

Sure it's good against the weak Big 10 opponents and non-conference opponents, but when you put it up against a team with a defense (Ohio State, LSU, Florida), it ain't jack shit. I don't think we should fire the guy after this year, but he's skating on thin freaking ice. Unbelievable that after everything we built for 9 years, it looks like we're burning it down.
No one is saying the team sucks.Quote:

Not sure, but took 7 post as to the atmosphere here on the site not the program. Could be wrongQuote:

A new system, especially one that has multiple reads on every play, takes time to get to that reaction stage.
And double joeQuote:

I blame both Fitz and Jovester to a degree. It?s painfully obvious Fitzgerald has no clue what he?s doing in this offense. Zero clue. And I think Joe basically came in and said I?ll just run my offense without having Fitzgerald change anything about his style of play. I think Fitz did nothing all offseason, and I think Moorhead didn?t make him do anything all offseason. It?s almost like Moorhead considers this year a false start because this team had so many seniors. Like he came in and just decided to let these guys do what they do to finish out their career here, and he would get serious next season. That?s how it feels, and that?s stupid if that?s what happened. He trusted our seniors too much and just threw this year away.
I know it’s old hat, but Mullen is THE best coach we’ve ever had. You don’t want to be the guy who follows the guy, and Moorhead is that guy.Quote:

Mullen raised the floor, but only one a couple of big games and got his ass handed to him by ole miss when it mattered. I for one, am glad he's gone.Quote:

Other schools who do it for the first time do, yes. We ain't Bama.Quote:

If Moorhead doesn't get us to a bowl game this year, then I agree he's on a short leash.
Remind me again though, what about the list I just provided shows a marked improvement year over year? I see a lot of ups and downs.
Moorhead may not be the guy, but Mullen damn sure wasn't going to take us anywhere he hadn't already. He had reached his potential here.
Just accept who we are.....nothing has radically changed in 50 years. We will NEVER get to the level of BAMA or other bluebloods. Six, seven, eight, nine, and occasionally ten wins are our MO. No point letting dreams of undefeated seasons ruin your life. We'll eventually upset BAMA.....normally once every 15-20 years, but someone else in the Western Div. will beat us to offset that delight. Works like a charm for me.Quote:

I don't know if Joe is a terrible coach or if Fitz is the worst QB ever, but something isn't right. Unfortunately, this season is wasted so time to move forward. If we don't win another game, Joe needs to go. If we go to a bowl, give home a couple more years and go from there. Just stop acting like MSU was ever going to compete with the big boys. It's never happened and never will. Being number 1 for a few weeks didn't do anything for MSU other than an answer to sports trivia question.Quote:

We are a destination job in baseball though and a place to be for a coach that wants to win a national title.Quote:

This is the thought I keep coming back to, but maybe for a different reason... We'd possibly be undefeated and ranked in the top 5 right now if he had not left us right before we were about to peak. This was my fear when he left and why I was hoping he would wait to leave AFTER this season (knowing he was likely going to leave soon). Just one more year, you hunchbacked bastard!Quote:
