A few weeks after the loss in shorts, Keenum took the reigns from Loafers and gave Don the ultimatum to stop job shopping and make staff changes to the country club. I posted this at the time it happened and was told I did not know anything and had no clue what was going on. Then all of a sudden Sexton was hired, Don limped through 2016. Had a decent 2017 and was going to TN before Florida missed on their initial target(s). Ironically Loafers found another landing spot too, after he was told to start looking if he would not force Don to adhere to the ultimatum. Loafers knew he could not force Don to change and Don knew he was not going to fire any of the country club. He hired Sexton because he knew he was leaving at first chance. After 2016, no one really wanted him.

    Funny how people only believe what they want to believe at the time, instead of things people are trying to say about what really is happening.

    ETA. I’ve need a guest in Keenums box many times. And I do not post things unless certain people inform me. And other certain people confirm what was said.
    I wish Keenum would take the reigns again with Moorhead. It will probably come to that eventually.

We don't add any legitimate game breakers at WR for next year....and don't give me Heath is a 4*!!....hell, it's not even a given that Heath will be here for spring, much less be a legitimate SEC WR. He wasn't even the leading reciever on his juco team. I just don't see it. I've never been pessimistic, but after this year....I'm just at a loss. And if we can JoMo after next year, you can kiss those four 4 star WR's goodbye pretty much. Unless we knock it out of the park with a hire, which c'mon, do you think the Cheap Bastard....I love that name now....but do you really feel confident in Cohen making another hire? I'm sorry. I'm just over it. This is like walking in front of a firing squad next year.
    Glad reality has set in for you, Be warned that some here will give you are hard time about being realistic instead of happy we are bowling...

    He did and that’s why he was kept after winning the EB

    Thanks. That’s one of the things I’ve been trying to figure out. Pretty crazy if true.

    I remember just a few years ago I specifically told this Board Mullen switched to Sexton because he wanted out. Liverpool, Gravedigger, and the crew tried to say that was crazy and I just hated Mullen. As usual, I'm usually proven correct.

    Again I say- why do people think we are making coaching staff changes? Hiring some OC to come in and make changes? Our HC is not giving up control of the offense and he will continue to control what the S&C does as well as the ST coach. Micromanager gonna micromanage

    People think that changes are coming because that’s what the MSU media people are saying on Genespage. Whether it’s just different faces that are micromanaged and just for optics remains to be seen and probably will be the case.

Mullen was an assistant for 15 years at numerous stops and he had headaches getting this done. Sexton opens you up a lot more options which is huge if you don?t have a large network. IF JoMo is out looking for new blood, and he should be, he?s doing it without much career capitol, the smallest assistant salary pool in the SEC, and outside of the network of the best agent in CFB. Not saying it can?t be done but to make it happen you?re overcoming a lot.

    Well except on certain things like "moorhead is gone win or loss. Gene Chizik is the leading candidate." LOL @ Coach 34. You get trolled so often that its tough to buy in any more. The "Moorhead is gone" narrative is going to be a tough one to live down, but per your quote above, it doesn't appear that you think so.

    You realize they trolled themselves with that right? OM was being investigated. We scooped everybody on that. Not our fault it took Pat Forde another year to break it nationally

    You have that post where I said you hated Mullen?

    And your predictions are no more accurate than a flip of a coin.

    Your memory of me posting anything like that is incorrect.

    You just asserted it because Liverpool and I aren't as likely to accept what you put out at face value and the board knows it.

    Now there are quite a few more who've learned their lesson after the battle for the egg all over your face bowl.
