Miami has made there hire..

[Political Hack]

First, you mean Davis not Jones? I think if they plan to announce as early as tomorrow, as has been reported and it's Richt, then he wouldn't schedule an interview with Virginia for tomorrow. We will see what comes out over the next 12 hours.

Depends on when the decisions were made. He could easily cancel that interview with Virginia tomorrow.

What is mullen's buyout?

True. But sounds like he made the decision to interview with them today. Maybe not just the way it was told to me. I actually thought Richt might be, at least, the sentimental favorite for that job. What they, or any one else have to guage with him, how much fire does he have left or does he really need a year off.

Sorry, yes, Butch Davis.

We need to waive Mullen's buyout. This is about to be recruiting toxic if he stays.

[Todd4State]

Richt would be a grand slam with every momma in Mississippi. He'd have ties to MS, AL, LA, TX through State and bring his contacts in GA and FL. He'd have a very strong geographic footprint to recruit from.

And he would completely neutralize Freeze's overly Christian fa?ade. Of all the coaches that are available, IMO Richt would be the best fit for MSU because of what you said.

Those are usually negotiable anyway. Especially if a coach wants out.

[TrapGame]

If Mullen is hired by Miami then Scott needs to be on the phone to set up an interview with Richt pronto.

I will lead the mob crew if we waive his buyout. He damn well better through some money to state on the way out the door.

[mstatefan91]

Yeah, you guys talking about waiving the buyout have lost your collective minds

[Todd4State]

Exactly. If/when Dan leaves- it's time for us to wish him well and move on. And I really believe we can make a really good hire ourselves and going the South Carolina "retread" approach is possibly a good way for us to go. Jackie worked out very well for us, so there is some precedent.

[Todd4State]

I agree. We shouldn't waive it and we definitely should get as much out of it as we can- despite what I posted above about those being negotiable.

No kidding. That would be incredibly foolish to waive a buyout clause. We can negotiate on how it's paid out, but I want that money for my next hire and assistant coaches. Not to mention if there is a coach we have to buyout to get or we end up having to buyout assitants.

[preachermatt83]

So the Preacher knows before any other major media outlet. Got it.

Yup.

[sleepy dawg]

Because that would mean we get all of our worthless assistants out and get a head coach that wants to be here and prove to everyone GA messed up.

There's 0 reason to get a head coach who couldn't cut it at a "bigger" school. You go after a coach who can raise your ceiling. Dan's ceiling at MSU is as high as Richt's at Georgia. At best Richt could keep us where we are. I'm still not convinced we've seen Dan's ceiling yet.

Richt and that staff would be multi grand slams..
I bet he takes a year off.. Works the TV gigs... And gets back in the next year or so...

This is my guess too. Could be wrong.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

So you guys want a coach who's record the last 8 seasons is 8-4 avg in the SEC East with top 5 national talent? We hate Mullen record against top 25 teams but want to hire the guy who's 5-15 in his last 20 games vs ranked opponents with top 5 talent? You bitch & complain about how Mullen can't get us to the next level but want to bring in the guy who couldn't get UGA to the next level with top 5 talent? Yea this sounds logical. Good luck.

[Schultzy]

Richt's weekly with Bo would be pleasant.

[msstate7]

I thought about that... Richt probably wouldn't show if he knew how bad bo has ragged on him
