Today is one of the worst days in MSU football history

If you bunt first, you're last.

someone rep this for me

Haha. Bo Bounds just called out this thread on the air and insinuated that Todd is an idiot.

He's right. Completely ridiculous thread

[BiscuitEater]

Ummm...no. The best shape it has been was when Byrne was here.

I think 2008 under Byrne was SO much better than we have it today. Men's BB had Stans. Baseball, led by Ron Polk had a 23-33 record and Football had a GREAT 4-8 season under Croom .. including that 0-45 showing to the Confeds. Women's sports were horrid. Yea .. GREAT year.

Byrne MADE the changes to get us were we are today .. fired Croom .. hired an unproven OC Mullen .. hired Cohen and endured the continuous Tommy Raffo crap from Polk. BUT you lose TOTAL credibility if you think the MSU AD was in the BETTER shape under Byrne than it is today.
Not evey Greg Byrne himself .. would think that State is NOT better off today.

hey todd you're famous.

[Really Clark?]

Dang you Bo. Just had to break this story. We were trying to keep this in house and deal with our own. I guess running the bleachers can't be enough punishment now that this has gotten out. We may have to sit Todd for a while.***

I am sorry ,you are so full of shit it is not even funny . You need to get on with your life ,99% of State fans do not feel this way about Dan.

We NEED Dan to leave- for his sake and for our sake.

People can spout all of the MSU football history that they want to- the fact of the matter is we have a coach that doesn't want to be here, is entitled, and doesn't get along with many of the big donors. And then we have an AD who won't do anything about it other than sit back and hope it all works out somehow. Basically the only thing Dan cares about at this point is his money that we are going to pay him. He doesn't care about anything else at this point. And go buy a ticket and go to the game if you don't believe me.

What does it say that your name is mentioned for job after job and then you get passed over for two assistants that have ZERO head coaching experience much less SEC head coaching experience?

Anyone that thinks that Dan staying somehow equals "program stability" is completely clueless at this point. What is going to happen is we are going to dig ourselves into a hole and we aren't going anywhere until something happens where we are given no choice but to fire Dan. 6-6 might very well be our ceiling next year. Think about that.

I love Nick Fitzgerald's upside- but we don't know if he can even come close to Dak in terms of leadership. Can he take over a game like Dak can at times? Who knows- but probably not. We're still going to run Holloway up the middle while our more talented backs watch and work on "their finer points of the game". Receivers should be good, but with Hevesy back I don't foresee any improvement on the o-line. He's not going to start anyone over Desper as long as Desper is healthy, and we're still going to have people out of position.

And then on defense, we're losing Chris Jones and Ryan Brown at a minimum- and possibly Nick James. All huge losses, but we'll be solid at LB. Of course we'll start Coman and Cleveland and they'll continue to get torched and or run over. So, we're going to be worse on defense everywhere except for LB- thanks for quitting Zach so we could upgrade.

So unless some miracle happens I expect it to get pretty ugly next year. I just wish we had someone in the AD with some balls to fix this shit. They'll figure it out when people stop showing up. Or we lose to someone like UMass because we don't have a coach that gives a shit.

Hmm. 5 day wait may not have been enough. Did I get redirected to the spirit? Had to. So many bitches.

HAHAHA. That's me & Twitter. I'm still taking a break from it.

Beastman's killing it. I'm laughing at work and folks looking at me like I've lost it.

[Dawgology]

Dan is a really good coach. He isn't going anywhere. He entertained some options for a week then moved on...as anyone worth a shit at what they do will do at some point in their career. As he has done the past seven ****ing years, he didn't comment on rumors about coaching changes. He will sign a good class. Our football team will be good again next year...they will be great in 2017-2018. We will also go to a bowl next year. Folks are pissed about the loss to UNM more than they are about being 8-4...it will pass.

Anyone who want's Dan Mullen fired this year is a ****ing moron with their head so far up their own ass all they see is brown.

P.S. There is a handful of people on this board that need to chill WAY the **** out....or we will have to get socks filled with soap bars and beat you while you sleep.

[War Machine Dawg]

I didn't read this whole thread, so I could be repeating someone's idea...

If Dan truly does want out of Starkville, then I think he got a good dose of humility these last couple weeks. Apparently he wasn't Miami's first choice, no contact from Georgia, and none from usc. Maybe this could serve as a wake up call to Dan that he needs to step it up in recruiting and win games vs bama and lsu to get to the type of jobs he wants long term. This could be a good thing for our program

We can only hope this is the case. That would be the best outcome of the situation we now find ourselves in. But I'll believe it when I see him fire Hevesy and Sallach, or move them to administrative roles.

[Percho]

Most of you are not old enough to remember and or know of, but having Dan as a coach is almost, I say, almost, as much fun as the old serials that came on before the matinee movie in the 50's. You just couldn't wait until next week.

People expecting "humility" out of someone who hasn't shown it in seven years? I'll believe it when I see it too.

How about people who post stupid crap on message boards day in and day out but would never admit it? I'll believe that when I see it....

Yes. BeastMan is in an enviable zone today. I've been rolling at his work in this thread.
