My personal opinion on Dan trying to leave- I think he was going to but couldn't find someone to pay him as much as us except for Georgia who got blocked by the SEC.
You have a lot of damage control for a lot of smoke right now.

It's because he doesn't want to take a pay cut. If he wants to leave he needs to start winning big games for us first- including the Egg Bowl.

And yeah I just tossed up a softball for someone to knock out of the park.
Thing is he did. He said I love my job & I don't talk about other jobs. Same he's said the previous 6yrs. For some reason that same answer wasn't good enough this year.

It wasn't good enough because he should have said I'm not talking to anyone. They way he said it made it sound like the door was still open.

6 years -- $33 mil offer to Mullen was reported for Maryland. What happened? That's enough to force anyone to listen -- yet they went with the completely unproven coordinator vs the proven head coach? Surely they didn't offer and rescind. So -- he turned down $5.5 per -- but was actively looking to get out?
This place is becoming animal farm. The initial purpose is gone -- and it's becoming what it rallied against. All the OM obsession -- and admiration about how they shape the message -- but when presented with a clear opportunity to say "Dan turned down a top 5 contract to stay at MSU" -- we'd rather argue that he was actively trying to get out in order to call our initial stances "right all along". Shaping the message, indeed...

The door is always open. Why would he have answered it differently than he has for the past 7 years?

What happened was Dan gambled on getting the Georgia job and it blew up in his face if the rumors are true.

Why do we insist on rehashing this during the peak of cruitin' season?
Threads like this don't need to be started again, unless you're a troll. If you want us to think you're a troll, and want to be banned, please continue bringing it up. Otherwise, celebrate the win, talk about men and women's basketball, and he upcoming baseball season. Throw in a little rebruiting chatter and there's plenty to discuss.
