Willie Taggart to Oregon

[Really Clark?]

Taggert's deal is for a reported 5 years at $3.2 MIL per year. That is equivalent to us going 4 years and $4 MIL per year for the same total contract.

If y'all are paying attention you'd notice that Mullen is priced out of every job henceforth and has been since we raised his pay north of $4 mill. Nobody is going to match his salary. NOBODY.

[I seen it dawg]

Lol. So strick wouldn't have extended him. You're just making shit up now that can't be merited.

I'm playing devils advocate and you're not seeing it. you asked a question and I gave you a possible answer but now I'm making shit up. **** do we not have a new AD? It may not be the reason but you sure as shit don't know that it isn't.

They could have gone to $3.6 for 5 years and that would be the same as $4.5 MIL for the 4 year limit he can get in MS. That wasn't a deal breaker by any stretch for Oregon. The buyout I'm sure was a sticking point if it came to money but Sexton is brilliant in getting those negotiated when both parties want to. McElwain's deal was very complex and took a good bit of negotiation to get it done but he did.

Exactly. You're making shit up that neither side can prove. That's what I said. And I didnt ask a question???

[I seen it dawg]

Dude, I have already proven the article wasn't all that you posted. Keep sticking by that though. You also say that you've made your agenda no secret that you want Mullen gone, yet you start another thread thanking Mullen for talking publicly about his extension. You really are all over the place. Congrats on drumming up board hits I suppose.

I'm not your dude. What the **** have you proven? And I started the thanks Mullen thread to be sarcastic and get under some skin. Thin ****ers like you. And you just can't read it bc you're incapable as you are stuck on this agenda thing.

I'm never all over the place. I've wanted Mullen to take every job he's ever been rumored to plus all the ones he's not and are open. And if we start winning no less than 8 every year, beat bama, go to Atlanta and start doing something with the muther****ing country club to make recruiting a strength..well then I'll change my mind. Mullen ain't gonna do any of that shit. Clear enough or am I bouncing around?

We have a new AD. That's an answer. He may have a different philosophy than the previous. If it were me I wouldn't give him shit.

I guess I should have been more clear as you can't follow.

No I'm saying I didnt ask a question. We can pull plausible scenarios out of the air all day long. Just seems like you're grasping at straws.

Whatever you think and I can't help you. Grasping at straws is far from what I'm doing.

Soooo....just trying to keep up. In this thread you've called me a thin skinned ****er, told me I wasn't special, my posts are old, etc. And you think YOU are the one thats under MY skin? Pretty damn funny....I'd say its quite the opposite.

The thanks thread caused a response from you so..I'd have to say yeah. And after your take in another thread on S&C for a program you are beneath going back and forth with. You win I'm done.

Actually if you do a Twitter search for "Dan Mullen Oregon" you see that no media sources say he was a finalist at all. All you get is random fans speculating that maybe it could be him.

It would be bad enough to post something like that if it were true. Why do our fans do this every offseason?

Simply not true.

Pete Thamel of SI reported Dan was a candidate.
Brent McMurphy of ESPN reported he was a finalist.
Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports suggested it.
Dieter Kurtenbach of Fox Sports reported he was a candidate.
Matt Bush from USA Today said, "Mullen has looked around before, having twice interviewed for the Miami vacancies." as part of his article on Dan being a candidate.
Former Oregon HC Mike Belotti said Dan was an ideal candidate.

While not all of these specifically said Dan interviwed...what a bunch of us wanted was for comments from sources like this to be rebutted or denied. Not too much to ask, considering his $4 mill + salary.

[I seen it dawg]

Wait but if those weren't on twitter they didn't happen..only the internet is true.

There isn't a coach in America who is going to go 8-4 or better here EVERY year AND beat the current Bama. That's my biggest problem with the anti-Mullen crowd--no sense of reality.

[blacklistedbully]

It's one of five reasons: 1) They aren't our fans but would like you to think they are. 2) They are stupid. 3) They have a raging case of Poor Ole State. 4) They are more fond of their internet cred than they are of MSU and want to be the first to break something. They keep throwing things against the wall in hopes that one day it will stick. Then they can go back and say I told you so. 5) They are part of the very small but vocal minority that wants Mullen gone. Keeping the rumors (even ones with no basis whatsoever) going is their way of trying to get rid of him.

Irony

[blacklistedbully]

If the rumors hurt the program then why help spread them? We KNOW recruits and their parents look at this board.

It's not what we post here that has a negative impact...it's the non-denials to the credible sources spreading those rumors that has the negative impact.

Paying him what he's making? Yeah we should win 8 yearly. You do the rest of what he should be doing and while we won't beat bama often in the current state we will at least compete yearly and win one occasionally.

He makes too much money for what he does. We should dominate every team on our schedule but Bama, LSU, Auburn and AM. And even then the last 2 should take more than we lose. But it takes 12 month effort in every phase. Not happening. Other teams do it with much less than what we have. Why not us?

Funny..I can't recall a single person saying that was their expectations. But by all means, continue to use hyperbole in support of an argument that isn't happening.

1. We should dominate every sec team outside of Bama, Lsu, auburn, and Aggie? Bc that's what it'd take to never fall below your 8-4. Seriously? Ark, om, and whoever we play from the east should be dominated by us bc we pay Mullen market price? No sense of reality.

2. We should beat auburn and Aggie more than they beat us bc we pay Mullen market price? Uh, their coaches make more than Mullen, as do their assistants. Bad logic.

Then you should read better, bc that is exactly what he said his expectations were in the post to which I responded.

"winning no less than 8 every year, beat Bama"
