I think we need to go ahead and know what's going on
I don't want any rumors or "we'll talk about it tomorrow" stuff because that isn't going to impact the train wreck one bit.
Whatever happened needs to be put out there. The administration needs to know that the fans are aware of it as this dumpster burns tomorrow.
Folks need to be held accountable. We are dropping millions of dollars into a football program for this level of ineptitude.
There is absolutely not one reason to keep this under wraps any further. We will sign 16-18 with a few walk-ons. Total and utter epic failure by our staff.

Yea I am usually in the sunshine pumping optimism category and there is absolutely no way to spin this. Just a frustrating year all around.

Hopefully the real reasons why will come out after signing day.

Agreed. I have absolutely zero confidence in Scott doing this but he needs to tell Dan that if he agrees to talk with one single program next season and immediately afterwards, he's fired period. Contract obligations be damned. I guarandamntee these other coaches are using this against us, as they should.

I keep hearing this is a "bridge" class. We knew we'd sign a smaller class. My question is just because it's smaller does it have to be less talented? That being said maybe this class will surprise in a few years. But man, losing Lashley stings. Maybe there will be better news this time tomorrow.

19 wins over two years at MSU and it's a dumpster fire? Insanity. A kid choose Bama over MSU...........wonders never cease. I hate recruiting season for the same reasons I hate beauty contests.

Interesting post counts here.

Come on guys, save this stuff for after signing day. We all know that situations like this in the past have worked in our favor.*******

I think it should be put out there now. As the dominoes fall tomorrow everyone on our coaching staff and in admin needs to know that we know why this is happening. I've heard we were outworked. How? What does this mean? Does this mean that our football staff didn't visit and continually contact the four elite prospects in our back yard? If not, why? Has Mullen's constant job shopping finally landed us in this mess? If so, what is the administration going to do about this?
I'll tell you what I did recently with an employee. She has been job shopping for a while now although we have met almost every request she has had, given her numerous amenities and made her one of the if not THE highest paid person in north Mississippi that does what she does with her level of experience. She's interviewed twice in the past four months and has put in for at least 3 other positions that I know if in the past 6 months. We have a great working relationship but still she does this and she will, on occasion, joke about leaving if she doesn't get what she wants. So I went out and hired her replacement this week. Didn't announce it just hired someone with her same educational background and assigned her to teach her everything she knows. Left it at that. It's amazing what a little motivation can do.
You see, if people are good at their jobs they begin to think they can do whatever they want and hold their ability to do a certain task over your head. Anyone can be replaced. It might not be an easy transition but you can get the same or better results from many different people. You just have to empower them but them make sure they don't get complacent.
Mullen is replaceable. Or...he decides he wants to be here.

I thought all the sunshine pumpers stay on Gene's page. Why God did we get stuck with you? Why God? Please go away

We're getting beat by letting our guard down simple. Each recruit that we thought we would get but not are saying they see more of one coach than the other. This coach has left a better impression on me than this one. Mullen has left a bad taste in a few of these guys. How do you fix it? Quit freaking whining about how sleazy a coach is and be on campus when these kids are on the official visit.

Dumpster fire of a recruiting class...particularly of the local elite players we had. If you don't see something is broken in recruiting this year then I don't know what to say....hahaha

Yeah, we're all UNM fans upset about Lashley not signing with MSU. Honestly, at this point what do we have to lose with airing our anger? We gonna lose another elite player? Nope. We've already lost them all.

Who gives a shit about post counts? It's not a dumpster atm but it's seriously headed that way. Guess we can be content with a 6-8 win seasons. Losing recruits late in the game is one thing but losing them in your own back yard, to your 2 biggest rivals, is a serious issue. I do think it's safe to say, there is something going on behind the scenes.

I heard someone say it best. Recruiting season is like one very long episode of the Bachelor.

Exactly! These are guys that should have been locked in 6 months ago. That is a major mistake by our staff. Major.

He's doesn't care about any of that. We are undefeated against SWAC and C-USA teams and were #1 in the country mane!!!!

All that's going on is we are getting our ass handed to us in recruiting. We have no coaches on staff with MS high school ties other than Tbuck who just joined. Mullen looked around for jobs and it is being used against us. Mullen doesn't love recruiting and it filters down to everyone else. Hev admits he hates recruiting and guys like Hev and Sallach can't win over decision makers in MS.

Yep, the truth is hard to swallow sometimes. We're lazy recruiters and don't go the extra mile it takes to kiss ass.
