How did he quit on that? How did he think the grass was greener somewhere else? How did he think it got better than that I'll never know. I never thought I'd be able to forgive him for quitting on us at the end of every year after 2014-2015.... BUT, if we can get the DM with the fire he had back then back I could get on board with it.... maybe. We better make sure we have one hell of a buy out and penalties in the contract if he shops his name around every year though.

Probably the same reason Kiffin will eventually leave OM. He thought he needed a bigger place to win a division, a conference title and a national championship.

That Dan doesn't exist anymore. Dan Mullen will never be a successful head coach for a power 5 school again. Like many others, he's unwilling to change and the game has changed. He lost his fire years ago now. You can't coach in the SEC without an intense passion and fire. If we hire Dan Mullen it will end with us firing Dan Mullen.

Megan, is that you?!?

Gimme this Dan and I?m all on board!!

If Jrob had come back 2015 would've been alot different/

Interesting interview with DM on Peter Burn radio show asking him about MSU job. "Never say Never".

"I haven't spoken with anyone from their administration."

We've all heard that BS before.

I'm sure it's true. Only agents

Exactly.

I'm not saying Dan should come back but you can't argue that his tenure was not successful by MSU standards. We pretty much beat everyone we were supposed to beat and were competitive for the most most part when we were the underdog. His job shopping at the end got old but once again that was the most consistent tenure of a MSU coach in modern times. He put a competitive team on the field year after year. I just don't know how he would work in the new transfer portal/NIL world at MSU.

His record against Top 25 teams was horrible.

But he ****ing won and never lost to teams like freaking Memphis

[Goldendawg]

Forgetting South Alabama and their relaxing attire in that loss?

[Homedawg]

Then he was lying.,

That's not 100% true.

[Homedawg]

If you base it on how they finished the season yes....
but that's not how you should do it. It should be when you played them. Bc if you lose to them and they end up ranked it counts as a loss if you beat them and they end up not ranked due to that game, it doesnt count. Example. Leach beat ole miss last year, he beat a ranked team. It should count. But the rebels didn't end up ranked and therefore, it didn't count as a win vs ranked opponent. Had we lost, it would have counted as a loss vs a ranked opponent bc they would have finished in the top 25. Again, it should be win you play em.

Well, he doesn't have a job, if we wanted him, and he wanted us, we would have made direct contact by now

Bingo. I bet some of you still hold grudges against your high school girlfriends too.

We can?t hire a more qualified coach than Dan Mullen.

[Coach34]

In the era of NIL- having a guy that is great at recognizing talent would literally be the best thing we could have.

Is Mullen my 1st choice? **** no
But if we miss on our top 3? Bring him back if he wants it.

Amen and amen to this!!! Someone else who gets it!

That was my point, he may not be 1 or 2 top choices but if they don’t take the job hire him. I would think he would be motivated, I never thought he disliked StarkVegas, but his ego wanted a bigger job. Lesson learned I bet.

I think he would do well in the NIL, his contact with former players in the NFL would be an advantage helping. Plus we had very little off field issues.

Exactly! People don't like to try to understand this. It's hard.

Haha! My man!

We lost to Memphis because of a blown punt return call.

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

No he wasn't. I've tried to tell people for a year now that Dan looks back on his time at State a lot more fondly than when he left. He still has plenty of friends in Starkville and tries to get back a few times every year.

Again, Dan is not number 1 on my list and he's probably not number 2. But judging by some of the names that Robertson is throwing out there, and yes I know those are just the ones agents are feeding him, we could do A LOT worse than Dan Mullen

This is pretty much how I feel. Not my #1 but we can do much worse. We just saw that.

I personally think Dan would come back if asked. I think he would have been more likely to come back right after Leach passed.

He's been here the past several summers to visit friends and hang out. He was here in July. Never say never.
