CDM press conference

[youraveragesavage]

Mullen is here. Says that first conference game often dictates how your conference season goes, "big game."

Mullen: We had a good practice yesterday, guys got after it.

Mullen on if he'd use the quarterbacks differently: I don't know that I would use them differently.


Mullen on OL: I thought overall we played well, said they did have some critical errors at key moments.

Mullen says he plans to use Smitherman and Peters the same as last week. Neither played a defensive snap, so that's an interesting answer.


Mullen: I think our effort and execution dropped in the second half, our mental toughness.

Mullen: We're going to take what teams give us. Says he noticed they played off in coverage, can't throw deep on that.

Dear listed as backup at slot this week. Nick James and Jeff Simmons not on the 2 deep.

[Katdoc12]

So as expected, he sees nothing wrong with his game prep or management.

Can't throw deep when your QB loses all sense of accuracy past 10 yards either.

Sounds like the same old BS so far based on your posted quotes.

Wasn't dear listed as backup last week?

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

So, nothing new...go figure

If this is accurate then I don't know what to say. 1-11 here we come.

[TNDawg35]

Someone also asked him about any suspensions this wk and he said he would let the players and media know Saturday...

[youraveragesavage]

PA-THETIC!!!

[youraveragesavage]

Absolutely no accountability for a sec west coach losing to a bad south Alabama team. Nothing is on him it seems.

OM's corners play off in coverage too, and a QB in his first game ever put up over 400 yards. Sorry Dan, that's not a good enough answer.

[msstate7]

If this is accurate then I don't know what to say. 1-11 here we come.

Almost positive that's the same depth chart as last week. I'd be shocked if Simmons and James don't play

[DanDority]

Mullen: We're going to take what teams give us.

Didn't USA give us a bunch of backup DL? If so why couldn't we RTGDFB?

[blacklistedbully]

I am more and more convinced Dan wants to be fired so he can collect a paycheck, move to his summer home in Ga, and entertain other offers as a coach who can be got at a discount due to MSU footing part of the bill.

He'd be free to actively pursue other opportunities 24/7.

[JoseBrown]

On the yards per attempt passing:

"We're going to take what teams give us. On film they were playing off the ball so he wasn't going to go down field as often."

Went downfield 3 times I think that landed between everyone on the field. Once they started playing on the ball, they shut us down. I guess it doesn't matter what they do on the field...they gave us plenty rushing yards, we should've taken more with the bigger backs on our roster.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

He is a F-in smart ass whose give-a-damns busted. It's written all over his face.

It's gotta be something. You can tell he gives zero shits right now. ZERO.

[I seen it dawg]

**** this cocksucking piece of shit muther****ing thief. He and his cronies are stealing money from us. Dan get ****ing out of here. Quit you ****.

[RougeDawg]

Strick is in the same boat as Dan if he doesn't force some changes. I say the hell with both of them. Strick' slack of balls is the main reason for our "Toes in the sand" Mullen of late. He let Dan run him early and often. Now Strick is simply a puppet in the AD position.

And for those who say there's no way we'd fire someone one year removed from 9 wins, just look at Cheesedick and Auburn. They canned his as two years removed from a natty.
