... CL ran an article talking about the direction of the program, Bounds is saying he could be gone now, Wyatt is saying the team isn't in shape or tough enough to win the egg bowl, Rosebowl is backtracking on his "100% he'll be back "company line from a week or three back.

State has put out the word that he's not safe. The media is preparing the fan base. Get your popcorn ready.

Encouraged to see that maybe we have an administration that doesn't accept crap

PR 101 isn't it. Laying the ground work.

[confucius say]

I think it is an easy call if we go 5-7.

To me it gets interesting if joe wins out. Do you fire a guy who takes you to a bowl? Can you do that and go hire a great football coach? Prob not.

Oooff double post.

Exactly. The posturing has begun.

I've told many of you guys when I repped you and also stated in many threads, he has been in over his head since day 1. He lost me after KY last year trying to throw 30 times in the rain against a team we had beaten what?, 9 of the last 10 years. I don't think that when the ball is FINALLY snapped in his genius "offense" that the OL knows whether to run or pass block, the QB does not know what the skill players are doing, and the WR's certainly don't know what pattern to run or whether to attempt to block downfield. His departure date is overdue!

We'll find out what type of leadership we have.

Will they do what's in the best interest of the program or will they just want to be fair?

The staff stinks. Everyone knows that.

I saw my first State game in 1963, at the age of eight. The days are long gone that I have felt that everything is OK if we just beat UM in a crummy season. I have expected much more of our program over the years since Jackie taught us to win again and Mullen took us to a level that seemed surreal when we were #1, ( still hated his annual end of year job search and lost focus). So what if Jo beats AC and UM? Just who of these 6 great victories is our "signature win" this year. I, for one, with 50 years plus as a season ticket holder have not seen a good game under his "leadership" this year. No Mo Jo! Hail state!

[AlSwearengen]

Sorry for Moorehead, seems like a decent person. That said, you could see it from the first game last year. Say what you will about Mullen but he fielded disciplined, tough teams and he didn’t put up with any dumbass boneheaded actions from coaches or players.

I hoped we could get on track but with time but we have gotten worse. An egg bowl victory means zilch, nada, nothing. If we win the egg and still pull the trigger, I’ll feel better about being MSU.

[Liverpooldawg]

If so we better have the replacement already on board. As I said, I think it's dangerous. As I also said, I'm on the fence so it won't bother me too much either way so long as it's not Rick Ray 2.0. . Losing to Ole Miss will bother me.

I don't think we have a Coach lined up yet. I do think we have had discussions with agents.

Regardless how "giddy" some are on certain coaches mentioned, it's a gamble but one we have to take.

The thought of losing to TSUN at home is bothersome. I will Be there with 5 others.

You cannot fire a 6-6 coach at a program like ours (bottom half of sec, at best) without having a new coach signed, sealed, and delivered. Cannot do it.

Exactly.

[bobtail bob]

I would feel better about the egg bowl if he wasn?t coaching in it .
Do already have our man ? Surely Cohen is not counting his chickens again like the baseball coaching situation.

Tell me again. If we do hit 6-6, which one of these victories did you enjoy the best on how the team looked. Who wants to stay in the bottom half of the SEC. Wow, 3-5 in the SEC. If Jo stays, we will be at the very bottom of that half next year and he will still be saying we will fix it. Just like he is gonna fix our 82 yards passing in game 11 against AC.

All of this can be true and we can still look stupid firing a coach who takes us to two bowl games in two years without having a coach lined up if we hire Rick Ray. That was the mistake we made with Stans: not getting rid of him, but getting rid of him without a next move ready to go.

If we make the move- We have already done that. JoVester is our Rick Ray

Heck, Jo is a football version of Rick Ray. We have already done that. The only people I know that want us to keep him is UM fans I put up with at work. It's one of 14 SEC. big boy football jobs with a big time $alary. I'm 64 and have seen a lot of MSU coaches. He does not fit us or the SEC. There is a good HC out there ready for the job and the challenge. We are not poor little MSU anymore. Hail State!
