Favorite to land Tommy Stevens

If that's the case Moorhead loses 80% of the fan base next season.

If Mullen didn’t lose the fan base in 2016, I don’t see JoeMo losing it this year.

I'm pulling for the best quarterback to start and us dominate, be it KT or someone else. I wish KT all the best here or somewhere else.

This.

Dan pulled us from the bottom of the dumpster. Joe walked into, arguably, the most talented team ever. And with that said dan was losing some from our fan base anyway. Part of it from both sides.

Joe also had a QB that struggled in completing 50% of his passes. He had the most talented defense..... not offense.

Strange statement. Mullen built a lot of equity before that 2016 season. JoMo has negative equity right now.

Great news. Moorhead gets a do-over with a similar QB except this QB knows the system and is more accurate. This will give us a good gauge on whether or not Moorhead can succeed at MSU.

Agreed.

Yep, and there's a lot of the fan base that went cold after UK and downright freezing after FL. Joe can bring them back by putting together a solid 8-4 showing some major offensive improvement.

KT has the locker room hopefully this doesnt cause issues.

It would until he proved himself. Handing him the job would negate all the hard work players put in to earn a spot.

Eh, we pretty easy to please as a fanbase. On a normal year, I'd be really happy with an 8-win season. This was not a normal talent year though... still mad at Mullen for bolting on this team, but I understand. We don't get many years when 10 wins is possible, so it really stings when it doesn't happen on those years. 2019 is a normal talent kind of year. If Moorhead wins 6-7 games and gets the offense moving in the right direction, he'll be given an extension imo

I was thinking about this. There have been 6 seasons in the past 10 years where 10 wins was attainable, and we have failed in all but 1 to reach it.

2010 (9-4) - The AU hinges on the Refs and a phantom 1st down against a NC team; LSU was close (12-7) late in the third, and after LSU scores to go up 19-7 a back breaking INT by Russell (1 of 3 that second half) seals it; regular Bama loss; piss away a halftime lead against Arky, can't punch it in from the 15 with 3 chances and settle for a FG to tie, then lose in OT.

2012 (8-5) - Start 8-0 then shit bed in 4 losses. Could have won 9 with a half-ass performance against Northwestern and minus Russell's 4 picks.

2014 (10-3) - We actually pulled it off, and can only really complain about pissing away a brief lead against GT (OM jumped us and we couldn't recover). We were also an INT away from Arkansas upsetting us, and keeping us at 9 wins.

2015 (9-4) - Miss FG against LSU; 2 games we were never in (A&M and Bama); and distracted Dan strikes vs. OM.

2017 (9-4) - 2 games we were never in (UGA, AU); tough Bama loss in maybe our best game against them in the Mullen era; Distracted Dan strikes in the Egg Bowl (I knew we would lose when I saw C34's post right before kick - that was bad juju).

2018 (8-5) - UK - a game we were in in spite of ourselves until a back breaking INT; UF game we were in and hinged on a dropped TD and a dropped pick 6; an LSU game that was a defensive war until picks break our back (a lot like 2010); normal Bama game; sure TD turned into an INT to seal a loss in spite of us not having our "A" game against Iowa.

I don't know exactly what to make of it other than what happened this year really wasn't terribly different the other years other than many in the fan base (me included) were convinced we were going to win 10 games.

Good post, Brunswick but a typo - 2013 should be 2012.

[Jarius]

I'm pulling for Keytaon to start and dominate

Well you will be watching him start and dominate somewhere besides Mississippi State.

[Jarius]

KT has the locker room hopefully this doesnt cause issues.

He has the locker room so much that the team did not vote him a captain and a bunch of his teammates were on social media recruiting Kelly Bryant to MSU.

Thanks - fixed it

That's interesting.

This exactly. Should tell you about some of the dynamics of what Joe has had to deal with at the QB spot.

Key didn't look good in the spring game and that's concerning. And some of his practice tape is concerning as well.

If we are going after Stevens, there's a reason people.

No he doesn't. Moorhead has that locker room. As Hill tweeted, "I trust our coach".

[Coach007]

Why was The Locker Room tweeting Kelly Bryant trying to get him to come to MSU?

SHHHH!!! We are in the middle of creating problems that may or may not exist. ..

Yes he did... Now if he was only Mullen...

Point being, we had the best defense we have ever had. Offense was decent for a MULLEN team only.
