Here is what you guys need to understand about C34/rumors

[MetEdDawg]

If this were true, it would be on all of the boards, and would be getting leaked by someone with a better track record. ED is a fun board, but it's not exactly a true representation of the fan base as a whole, and if someone in our athletic department is making decisions on coaching hires based on responses they are seeing on ED, my opinion of our AD leadership just went down the toilet.

Now is the time I would implore everyone collectively to use their brains.

Think man. Did anyone say anything about people in our athletic department using our opinion to make a decision? No.

But our opinion is a data point that is important, especially when the stadium is half empty on homecoming. Y'all say we should speak with our money and not go to games, but then say the athletic department doesn't use our opinion to make decisions? Can't have it both ways. Either we make an impact or we don't.

And no it wouldn't be on all the boards. You don't have the knowledge to know who has or hasn't received information to run with. Coach 34s track record is irrelevant. He's not necessarily being given correct information. That's the whole point of this. As a person who gives out information passed to him, he doesn't have the luxury of knowing what's true or false. Again, that's the whole point.

Not sure why this concept is so hard to understand. The university has a lot of ways to gather information to paint a holistic picture. Our opinion is one of those data points. It's not a big one, but it matters.

Excellent points, I still find it hard to see why many to fail to understand who actually controls and athletic department.

Thanks for the laughs guys.

The next time Cohen speaks at a function, I encourage one of you guys to show up and ask about this "concept" and whether this is a viable "data point" for the athletic department.

So you want me to ask him in public to his face whether or not they take what fans want into account when making a hire?

Done. And you know what he will say? Of course we do. We want fans to understand that we value their opinion and that MSU wouldn't be what it is without the fans.

What the hell else do you think he will say to a fans face? No we don't value your opinion and honestly we don't listen to what fans say or do.

You HAVE to be smarter than this man. Come on.

Notice I didn't say who runs but who controls an athletic department. That is something most folks like you cant and still don't get your heard around.

Float Chizik's name out there, then for anyone we hire the fans are just glad it's not Chizik. Kind of like the opposite of our baseball coach hire where everyone was expecting a Top 5 CWS coach so many were disappointed with Lemonis.

The art of the deal!

It?s as accurate a sample size as simply polling a group of MSU fans via a letter or e-mail.

Tell your PUNK FRIEND BOY, THE MALE CHEERLEADER FROM JACKSON PREP, HE SCREWED US AND WAS WAY OVER HIS HEAD!! SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN HIRED!! TELL HIM HIS LEAKED AD CANDIDATE COHEN SHOULD BE SHOWN THE DOOR WITH DUMBO JOE TOO!

He needs to use something other then what he did last time he made this hire, bc he completely shit the bed!

We are all in agreement on this.

Be aware of the politics of sports. The powers of the Universities are always trying to control information being exposed to the fan bases. The NCAA benefits with the sometimes disorientation of their consumers, the college sports fans? Information does not always come out absolute, but that does not mean that the information is not credible. I believe that C34 provides a great service to the readership of this website, granted C34 is not perfect in prophecy yet a mostly accurate source of information. I have learned this mindset by observing USC in Los Angeles. The politics and mind control of the Reggie Bush sanctions out there schooled me up on the fight to get information out to the public or fan bases. There is always a lot of BS out there and even ESPN stays quiet on issue?

i will have lost all faith in our athletic administration if they followed up Moorhead with Chizik. I understand he has SEC ties and won a natty, but he only did that with Malzahn and Cam Newton. Outside of that he was pretty pathetic and underwhelming. Our problem is discipline, organization, and offense. he might could help with the first two, but he would have to hire a sure fire offensive coordinator. I'm just not thinking he is the guy. we could do worse, but it's not the right direction in my opinion if they don't want to maintain what Jo has us in right now which is a downward trend. There are much better options out there. hopefully Keenum, Cohen, and the boosters are smart enough to realize that Chizik is not the right move. I would much more prefer Hudspeth over Chizik if it were between the two of them.

I have seen this first hand about coaches waking up and finding out that yesterday was the last day they were a good coach. It happens all the time one day the coach just lost credibility yesterday. Some hire on experience, yet the experience was good up to yesterday? I believe that Mississippi St needs to think outside the box with the next hire. Look what happened with Herman Edwards last Saturday. If I had my preference, I would like to see MSU look for a hungry NFL assistant who is credible today and not credible yesterday?

This board also has the ability to nit-pick the hell out of something - so why not let ED build their "pros" and "cons" list about Chizik.****

They read every word I write.

So much more convincing. It really drives it home.

[I seen it dawg]

This shouldn't be hard to figure out. It isn't like this board is some random cooking and where to buy clothes bullshit. You posters should take more pride in the fact the athletic dept does actually peruse boards to gauge fans opinions and they hit this one hard. Maybe bc it's pretty damn good. It's not rocket science it's done all over the country. And the fact we don't give a **** what anyone thinks means we put info out there and let it roll. Hence them checking it out and even possibly using it as a fan gauge which they use as a tool.

I for one hope your right COACH34!! This is a message board and rumors are always welcomed from my point of view!! Hailstate!!
