Turner to A&M done deal

[Jarius]

Us losing Turner is not a good thing, but the UM staff is not just staying there because they love Oxford and Freeze so much. They are staying there because everyone in the coaching profession knows that they are only worth a crap because of the talent that they accumulate and they aren't going to be able to recruit that way at other schools because other schools don't drive 150 mph down the interstate. They hired a bunch of washed up has beens and guys with criminal records that all of a sudden turned into ace recruiters late in their career. It's the equivalent to Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, etc. hitting for more power at the end of their career than they did at the beginning.

Its not unusual for new coordinators to want their own guys when they take a job. Someone that goes along with their coaching philosophy and someone they know. Not saying that's whats happening but it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility. I like to study on all the possiblities before I freak out over something. Not always good just to react on emotion lol

Again- turner left on his own free will. He wasn't pushed out by any shape, form or fashion.

So um doesn't lose any of their key coaches that I know of, in the wake of the investigation, and we lose our entire defensive staff. What gives?

The UM staff is under a BIG cloud at the moment. Think about it.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

Yet no Ole Miss coaches have left. Wonder why?

Not judging good or bad - but since he entered coaching in 1986, Turner has never spent more than 3 years in one place. Moving on seems to be his MO.

[Liverpooldawg]

In all honesty our defense has sucked the last few years. I'm not that fussed about making a clean break.

This is major red flags on the type of program Mullen is running. Ive never seen a prpgram with this type of attrition.

You mean we can't go straight to Mullen is an ass, we suck, YANKEE, erebody wants out of starkghanny. We poorz!! Jeez, how much little brother do some have to go straight to NM talking points.

I'm to old and seen to much to just react without studying all angles first. Things are never as bad or as good as they seem.

This is starting to resemble Stans' last few years as HC at State. There is some behind the scenes turmoil that folks must not be discussing or something similar.

Most of us have concluded that Dan does not want to be here. Based on his job inquires. The assistants might think.....why should they hang around? Get out while the getting is good. I hope that's not the case.

It's not that hard to figure out dude. Would you hire a stock trader who was under active public investigation by the SEC?


Edited to say this was for shotguns post, not yours.

Maybe turner was upset about us hiring an outside DC.

Hey preacher, how about Ed O as co-DC**

[engie]

Calling it now -- Tosh Lupoi to State. Coached DL with Sirmon at Washington and is current outside linebackers coach at Bama @ $425k. Every bit the recruiter that Ogre is. Pay him $500k, make him co-DC, and let's churn this milk into butter.

[Tbonewannabe]

If nothing else, I am glad he got Simmons before he left. At least he didn't screw us over like Townsend did right before signing day. We now have a little while to hire someone before spring training.

Wtf is wrong with our program. We lost every single coach from the defensive staff.

I tried to warn you.

By far the best post in this thread.

I think it's a good thing. Maybe we will get guys who will plan for games better. It's not like our defenses hasn't given up a lot of yard the past few years. Ole Miss shamed our defensive staff last year. They all should have been fired anyways for the shit show they planed.

So the guy that kinda saved our awful recruiting class is leaving and it's a good thing? Don't be that guy.

Sounds like a great get. We have a few guys to recruit MS, it would be great to get some more recruiters to broaden our recruiting areas.

Would be 100% on board with this. Mullen/Sirmon better make a great hire.

Now there's a rational thought! We have to start learning to spin this stuff ourselves. Everyone else spins it to their advantage, why can't we?

Do a little research. Mullen's number as a whole are actually pretty average. Numerous coaches in the SEC have lost more over the last 4 years.
