What you guys seem to forget, is that even though we aren't "poorol'missippistate", we are still Mississippi State. And that's still a big ass hole to climb out of, given our circumstances...
Listened to Rosebowl's BSR show yesterday and he did a pretty good job of recapping the total failure of our OL recruiting over the past 5 years. THAT is what made us a 1983 Monte Carlo this year. Should have never happened that way but it did, so in that respect, yea, we were pretty lucky we won 8 games. It was pretty difficult to do as bad as we've done in OL recruiting recently even with lily white recruiting practices.

According to Miami columnist - Mullen interviewed with Miami.
Look, Im on Team Mullen, I don't want him gone, but anyone that doesn't think he is actively shopping himself, is just lying to themselves.

Miami interviewed Mullen, Butch and Schiano. Talking with Richt today, per source.

Why should a coach not take a call from who ever calls? He owes it to his family to see what is out there. I understand we love our university, but damn guys, this is a job to Dan. He's dosen't owe us a thing.

Same here, I'm good with Mullen (with some changes) but the man is looking for another job. To say he's not actively looking and looking hard is inconceivable.

He didn't have to move when we gave up 95 yard TD runs and let Engram torch us on a couple of slant routes. The defense killed us.

The first two blowouts were blowouts because we had two DC's that had checked out, one of which was incompetent to begin with. That's still on Mullen that managed twice in three years to have a DC that was pissed off at him by the end of the year, and that's a significant problem, but not exactly the same as a coach taht gets blown out simply because he's overmatched.
The offensive production in the last two egg bowls is a problem and Mullen needs to fix it, but it's not like he just isn't capable as a coach.

Mullen has only beaten 1 team that finished ranked in the Top 20 at the end of the season...
0-7 vs Bama
1-6 vs LSU
1-3 vs Freeze
1-3 vs A&M
Making them understand this like teaching nuclear physics to a tree.

No one is saying it is, I just don't want to be told that the "fans are pushing him out the door" when he is clearly trying to walk out the door on his own.

This isn't some 60K per year accounting job. He's getting over 4 million per year to be the leader of this program in all facets. If there are a handful of jobs out there that are considered dream jobs (Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Michigan, etc.), I would give him a pass. Talking to Maryland and Miami, programs not as good as ours, probably not willing to pay what he's making here unless they hamstring the program in other ways, says a lot about his level of commitment (or lack thereof) to this program.
If you can't see that, you're a retard, and no further discussion is warranted.

He's exploring options - this is big business. he don't have his bags by the door. relax and see. my way

Where has it been reported, besides some poster on the Terps 247 site, that Dan interviewed with them. Because the official interviews and names of who and when those interviews are taken place just started yesterday. That post is the only thing that many have jumped on as evidence of any Maryland connection and it was blatantly false.

To me, there is a difference between 'talking to other teams' and actually having a formal interview. I'm sure Saban talked to Texas, but he didn't interview with the AD. I'm fine with Mullen exploring his options. Flying to other cities and having interviews during Egg Bowl week (if true) would make me angry.

Where is it reported he went anywhere to interview egg bowl week? And interview can be very broad term depending on the source. To some just getting or making a call and talking about the job is an interview. I'm kind of like you probably, an official interview is totally different and usually takes place at their site or a neutral site for an extended period of time and I am probably one of the top vetted candidates they have.

Phrased that poorly. Some people had been speculating that took place. I haven't seen any actual reports saying that.

There were also a lot of speculation he took the Maryland job and they just started interviewing yesterday. They may have called and made a pitch, I don't know but the only thing we know for sure is he is on Georgia's and Miami's list and interviewed for Miami, according to reports. Which are not always right. North Texas have hired their 3 coach in 2 days according to reports, UCF is on there 2 coach in 2 days, etc. These reports can't get the actual hires right a lot of the time, much less who is actually interviewing.

bump just to make sure people see this.

How can he do his job for us, by recruiting for us, if no one knows if he will be here because he is always testing the waters for his other family? Why do we pay him so much? If he were making half as much that would be different.
He would need to be making 2/3 more in Miami to live in Miami for what he makes in Starkville and to live in Starkville.
