Mullen interviewed with Miami

[NCDawg]

Butch Davis is front runner followed very closely by Dan. Schiano and Richt are both possibilities too. They could get anyone on that list but Dan for 3 mil.... So don't expect Dan to get the job.

If he's that anxious to get out of Starkville, he may accept a paycut. I don't understand why he let it be known that he interviewed for the job. I think the other candidates don't have a job at the present time. Makes it looks as if he has lost interest in staying at State.

Posted again for bump. Both of these have Miami ranked as a MUCH better job than State. The U isnt what it once was, but it's still better than State, especially if you want a fresh start or a new challenge and live in paradise.

These are arbitrary opinions of someone who is looking at history. There is nothing scientific to it, so using either of these as sources to support an argument doesn't work.

Look at attendance, revenue, conference, coach salary, facilities, and success in the last five years. Miami isn't even in the same conversation. In every measure except historical success, Miami comes up short. Every program in the SEC west is better than Miami's at this point.

Yea Bc every time you interview it means "I want out". Why even bother...agenda has already been set, can't back out now...right Coach?

I've interviewed for several jobs without "wanting out" of my current one. Just to gauge interest & see what they had to offer. I'm not saying my source was right or wrong...but there damn sure hasn't been anything released to prove you're right about him "wanting to leave". Miami's a bad ass area to live, so if they pony up the cash he's making now, who would fault him? He'd be dumb not to at least hear people out. Plus, he has a better shot at a Title in Miami in the ACC.

Some of you are either horrible business people, or are so determined to run "Dansbury" off that you'll spin anything to meet your narrative.

Whatever though...if he leaves he leaves

I have as well but did you let your employer know about it ?

Miami ain't exactly paradise. I have family down there and have spent time there. There is some paradise around, but it's a long drive through absolutely god awful traffic from the U.

Sources say Mullen spent several days in Miami late last season and even spent a few hours at their stadium**

[Political Hack]

The current Miami Hurricane football program is a shit stain on Bully's underroo's.

They can't match our pay, our campus, our facilities, our small town, our rivalries, our conference, our student base, and damn sure can't touch our fan base. Miami is a dying program. Everyone can see that.

[ScoobaDawg]

Easier conference.... School and boosters willing to Cheat....to get the talent in that state.

Ha, no. And I'm working so I haven't had time to read any of this, so I didn't know Dan told Scott before he went either.

At the end of the day, I like Dan, but I've always been a big critic of his too. So if he leaves, whatever....I just get tired of certain people picking a 50/50 scenario...throwing shit at one side of it...and then if it lands on red they say "things changed", but if it lands on black, "I was right again! Makes me 1 million and 0 for my lifetime on predictions". It's stupid, selfish, garbage...and does nothing to help the program. It's just to try and say they 're capable of forcing change by their words on a message board.

Oh well. He clearly wants out of Starkville. 7 years in this hell hole was clearly too much. Why else would someone interview for a job, right? And the Internet says he did it, & that he's wanted out for a while....and Coach34 says that's the truth...so why would anyone debate or question, or tell people to think for themselves and don't overreact or read deeper into something than normal.**

Honestly, I just hope Stricklin isn't sitting on his ass right now. Just be proactive is all I ask. Whether he leaves or not, the leverage is squarely in Scott's court now.

Only thing State has to offer over Miami is facilities and fan support. Possibly money, but they aren't poor. Miami has better location, tradition, recruiting ground, easier conference, etc.

Facilities and fan support are HUGE. Why do you think Miami has fallen off like they have? If they didn't have so many players available in south Florida it would be much worse than it already is. Its a commuter school.

[Sacrifice]

All I know is we have some big recruits out there that we need to reel in and this doesn't help.

[War Machine Dawg]

It's twitter and to top it off it Mike Bonner. He's full of it. Look I have issues with Bo and his show but if it was him I might put a lot of stock in it. Not Bonner.

ESPN confirms Mullen interviewed at Miami within the last 24 hours. Still think Bonner is full of it?

[War Machine Dawg]

Miami is a better job than State. I don't see the big deal....

In what world is current Miami better than current State???

It's lateral at best. No on campus stadium, shitty facilities, and payed the former HC half of what Mullen currently makes. The positives are a fertile recruiting ground and an easier path to the playoffs. But it's hard to recruit to facilities that haven't been upgraded in 2+ decades.

[MafiaDawg]

ESPN also reported Les Miles had been let go. But it's on the Internet so it must be true.

Yea, but if Athlon Sports says it then it must be true.***

Are you one of the most visible employees of your company? Are you the de facto leader of an athletics program that has a multi million dollar budget? Come on Cadaver, you know the difference.

This hurts us in recruiting, and it makes us look like a stepping stone program. Perception matters.

They are also reporting that they can and will pay more for their next coach. $4MIL per is what is being report they could pay.

yeah but even Miles believed it

[PassInterference]

No program, college or pro, that plays on a baseball field should be worth anybody's attention.

[HancockCountyDog]

Also, anyone that says Miami is a step up from MSU, is what is holding us back. The jobs are not close right now. We are clearly a better program and a better job.

Bingo. It's amazing some of the biggest sunshine pumpers like Liverpool call Miami a better job than us. On second thought, that explains a lot.
