    Waiting to hear from posters who said, "we're crazy to want Mullen gone".

    Wonder what its going to be this week. Every time those of us who have been fed up for some time complain...these guys jump to Mullen's defense and call us crazy. How about now, fellas? Y'all still on board with Mullen?

    I'm still of the same position that we should wait till the end of the year.

    You have to wait until the end of the year but if he goes 3-9 he has to be fired.

    3-9 and I'd have no problem with it. 4-8 I'd really have to think about it. 5-7 and I'd give him another year

    If we wait until the end of the year, our HC choices will be greatly diminished.

    Mullen is trying to show us what to do. It's a no brainer. He wants out, get his ass out!

    You don't make a decision to fire on the difference between 5-7 and 3-8. It's where your program is headed and the job being done. How have you recruited the last couple of years? What does your talent level look like? What's the discipline like around the program?

    We look like reprocessed horse shit in all of the scenarios you laid out.

    Yeah, you right. I may come closer to keeping Mullen at 3-9 if we play well in November and recruiting looks good more than if we go 5-7 and get blown out by every sec team

    Exactly. LSU pulled the trigger because they knew they had to. But of course we or poor ol' MSU so let's wait until the end of the year because we are too scared to do anything. People have to think real hard about firing a coach after going 4-8. Wow. If you can't see that this relationship is over I don't know what to tell you

    We are going 4-8 at best. No leadership from our players /coaches, and our OC is a huge ***** that's cares more about playing seniors then the best players to put you into a position to win.....quality competition be damned. DM has run defensive coaches off for 8 years, but yet the offensive staff (his friends) are still here. Our offensive line sucks donkey balls, and our running backs have shitty vision and no fire/determination to make defenses gang tackle them. The biggest issue is that our big backs never see the field to prove themselves.

    Our defense doesn't attack/run down hill to force our will on ball carriers. Watch well coached/attacking defenses....they influence the tempo and physicality to opposing offenses. We do not have that type of coaching/intensity on either side of the ball. To be successful in this sport, ALL positions and both sides of the ball have to be mean mother****ers. We don't have that...period!

    We will go 3-9 this season. Probably 4-8 next season. Mullen is done, he ain't winning at Mississippi state again. Time to move on.

    And our receivers can't catch. We make up for that with a QB who misses them as well.

    While I have no issue w him being fired, I get amused by statements like this, unless you are one of the ones who is going to find his almost 10 million $ payoff. Shit ain't free. And again. He's not getting fired.

    I'm of the same opinion that yall better have your new coach "in the bag" before you can CDM...

    It's a "coach's market" out there...

    Some coaches are gonna get some jobs/salaries they normally wouldn't this year... Mullen may be one of them...

    LSU situation is totally different than us! LSU gets every player they really want out of the whole state of Louisana! No kid that is a stud high school player that grows up in Louisana dreams to play for Southeastern La., La Layfette or La Tech ect. They "ALL" dream of playing for the Tigars! Micky Mouse should be able to coach at LSU and at least be competive with Bama.

    Look at how many LSU players are on NFL rosters! Sorta like Univ. of FL before Urban Myer came. Back then all players wanted to go to Fl., Fl

    This is what I have been talking about when I say that we have to look at the whole picture when someone spouts off about 19 wins the past two years.

    I'm still on the Mullen train. I think it's more a talent issue than coaching, but of course they are his recruits. He'll get a year to correct this. He'll either rise or tank IMO.

    He's not getting fired this year. We've made our bed here, and we got to lie in it. If he tanks we should go get Art Briles. I don't think anyone hires him this year anyway.
