Mullen had the team ready yesterday, as long as we are winning he can keep looking, but that is just me. Not everyone loves Msu like we do. 7 years is a long time know days, Coaches are 1 loss away from being fired. I hope Mullen stays another 7 years but it ain't likely.
I think the hate was only there because we showed up completely unprepared for the egg bowl for the second year in a row. Even then, I think it was exacerbated by people being idiots and believing everything pushed out by the two coaching search sites run by brothers with UM ties. If it had come out that he had talked with Miami and was interested in the UGA job (which are the only semi-credible rumors), I'm not sure people would have been that mad. But him being linked to Va Tech, UVA, Maryland, Miami, and UGA to make it sound like he was dying to get out is what pissed people off. It's not really his fault people are dumb enough to believe he was looking to move to a program like Virginia although he could have handled it better. Of course if his agent really did publicly make all that noise just because dan was pissed at the administration, that was a pretty shitastic move and I'd just as soon not renew his contract ever again; but I just have a hard time seeing Mulen being that petty and stupid, much less him being that petty and stupid and his agent not running damage control.
