Agree with most of that. Coaching or talent wasn't to blame for the PR, it was on the punter. The punt was too low and it got there too quick - as soon as he kicked it, my buddy said "oh shit, that could be trouble". I also didn't have a major issue with running Dak on that 4th and goal. My issue was that we should have run him four times if that was the "go to" option...

im not saying fire Mullen- I'd just prefer him to leave. Kyle Whittingham is my choice to replace him. And I know that he would take it

Yep, same here. As soon as I saw it was a low line drive, I knew it could be bad. 3 minutes until AC QB and you can read all about it.

That's what it comes down to.
it doesn't matter what he has done 1,000 times- what mattered was getting in the end zone- and running right at the teeth of the Bama D that had subbed in more linemen wasn't going to get it done. Tebow had the Pounceys blocking for him- Dakota doesn't. Try a power off the edge, speed option, halfback pass, a reverse, anything but running into a brick wall
but not only that- we had Holloway in the game on 3rd down, and he can't block a 3rd grader- so we had to sub- which allowed Bama to sub also a s bring in more linemen. Making it an even dumber call

You had a great list that would take it when we let Stansbury go too. We got Rick Ray, and before you start, we tried to do better. You don't know jack about who and who wouldn't take it. Be careful what you wish for, you might get it, AGAIN. This would be an even bigger disaster.

You have hit on the exact problem. Mullen defaults to the only thing he knows and is comfortable with even after seeing the ENTIRE season that we can't run block AND that Bama has the best run stopping DLine in the country. When we are paying a coach 4 mil a year I expect them to factor in those things. We could find a HS coach that could call a snap back to the QB for a run between the Tackles over and over at the goal line.

Says the biggest "poor ol' Em Ess Yoo" poster on the board. Guarantee you if Mullen were to leave voluntarily we could get a damn good coach for $4M/YR + SEC buyout. It's like hitting the ****ing lottery to be an SEC HC. Even if you suck, you get paid millions to leave. Tons of coaches would slit each others throats for the chance at that type of payday.

A) Stands made the program so toxic nobody wanted it
B) I talked to a friend of Whittingham's yesterday. He talked to Kyle Tuesday. I know 100% that he would take it

You guys are the old MSU. When we lose a game it's "far the coach". He sucks. It's the same old crap we have always done. We fall back on it because it's all we know and all we have ever done. It's our comfort zone. We don't know how to act any other way than like a bunch of habitual losers. We are 25-6 over our last 31 games. You people don't even realize how big of idiots you make yourself look like.

Sure you did. You spouted the same BS the last time. Why must we act like habitual losers ever time we loose a game to even great teams?

No shit. Our basketball job paid about 100th in the country and was a dumpster fire. The football job is solid and pays top 20

Jung was the best LB in camp this year from what I've heard. They say he is fast and can tackle very well.

Walleye also blocked air on the back side which allowed the defensive player to keep Dak from falling forward.

thats a lie. I never said I was friends with someone that knew a top college basketball coach.

I'm pissed off about yesterday and this whole damn season. One big cluster this year under Dan Stansbury. Mullen is Stansbury with discipline. Thats it. We wont ever win an SEC title under Mullen- but we wont suck either. So we have that going for us- which is nice. Mullen is 2-16 vs Bama, LSU, and A&M. And now UPig is getting better. That lull we had with them is over now.
I'm pissed off we play a guy at RB that has no business being back there. It's ridiculous that he is even in the rotation. Fumble helped change the momentum of the game. It's ridiculous that we start a 150 pound TB in SEC football. It's ridiculous a 4-star RB only got 2 carries yesterday and is so limited in his 2nd year of college football. I understand he is from West Point- and that's not exactly a breeding ground for MENSA members- but holy shit- 2 carries??? Meanwhile, watching Holloway try to block is pure comedy.
I'm pissed that our OL recruiting has been so bad- that that's the best we could put on the field yesterday. Not only do they suck as a group- they cant even pick up simple twists. Weak and stupid is a tough way to get thru a college football season. How bad does Rankin have to be that we chose to redshirt him??? You want to know why our OL recruiting has been so bad? John Hevesy. I know this to be a fact. We had a 4-star recruit teed up for him- works for a State guy. Get the kid to camp- our staff doesnt even know who he is. Then he leaves camp and they love him- and we rarely even contact him afterwords. We were guaranteed to be in his top 3- and we did nothing. Now the kid is choosing between Bama and Clemson. Shit like that is why we are getting our asses handed to us in big games. This 3 year development program for the OL doesnt cut it when they arent very good in year 3
I'm pissed at our Special Teams- blocked punt last week. Punt return for a TD this week. That's a sign of a team that is poorly coached or lack of talent. You decide
I'm pissed that in a game in which we absolutely had to get the lead in to have a chance to win- on 4th and Goal from the 1 1/2- our best play is to run straight into the best defense in the country. Jet sweep, option, anything....just dont wait for Bama to sub in extra linemen and then run right at them. That's 8 kinds of dumb. Great call Dan Croom.
I'm pissed that with the best QB in school history- we are an 8-4 or God-forbid 7-5 football team. What kind of team would we be without him???
I'm pissed that we run a 3 man DL vs the best team in the country with our DE's wider than the OT's- seriously??? It didnt occur to you that they might just run it straight up the gut??
I'm pissed that a great 1st quarter plus effort was wasted because we cant pass protect, figure out a better play to get a yard, or play the wrong RB. We should have been up 7 headed for another chance to score and build real momentum for that game last night- but no- we just pissed it away. Time to go on the road to play UPig Dan Stansbury. Let's see how we respond.
Standing slow clap. Nailed it. "New MSU" is right again

If that's the case lets just move on now and make it happen. If it's guaranteed you make the move if you feel he is better (which I agree he is)

But let me reiterate- nobody is saying "Fire Mullen". We just have to accept we will never win the West with him as coach

I'm getting so tired of watching us come out flat against good teams. Memphis doesn't have near the talent OM has but that didn't stop them from kicking there ass from one end of the field to the other. We rarely ever come out in these games and execute at a extremely high level and play out of our minds.

As long as Saban is at Alabama neither will most of the other West teams. Alabama will always be the leader in the West for the most part.

Throw out Saban's first year. This is going to be his 7th SEC West title. AU has 1 and LSU has 1. So no one is really winning the west but Saban.
