Willie Taggart to Oregon

[HSVDawg]

As I said- he picked a bad year to go 5-7

LOL. Well, I guess Taggart picked a good 7 years to go 40-45 against a non-Power 5 schedule every year. Oregon didn't choose Taggart over Mullen. It just didn't happen. But by all means, keep trumpeting whatever supports your agenda.

[Liverpooldawg]

The last sentence was appropriate because it mentioned OUR head coach. I'm on the record as not being a Mullenite and I have no problem with ever being wrong. If it doesn't matter whether Mullen denies job rumors then what does it matter what this board reports. Shouldn't have any effect at all so why such the butthurt..

Because someone hearing the rumors that is actually interested if it's true or not would in all likelyhood look at MSU sources to see what they are saying about it. I loathe the Confederates but I do admire their discipline on this stuff.

[Liverpooldawg]

So you're telling me that you can't read in between the lines when they mention the "finalists"? If Taggart and Mullen really were the finalists and Taggart was selected, the ONLY conclusion that can be drawn from that is that Mullen told them thanks but no thanks. No competent or even remotely coherent administration would select Willie F-ing Taggart over Dan Mullen if they actually had a choice. Its just laughable. Its like saying in 2008 that Dan Mullen was chosen between two finalists that included himself and Chris Peterson because he was "just a better fit for the program". The Oregon "sources" are just trying to prop up the job by throwing another big name in with Taggart to drum up fake interest. Ole Miss PR 101.

Yep

And your fearless leader said Mullen would be a top 5 coach if he won 6 games this year. We are a chip shot fg from our kicker who has gone through 2 operations this year for bulging disk away from having 6 wins.

So you are saying we have recruited so poorly- that we have to send a kicker out to kick that hasn't recovered from surgery instead of using our backup kicker? And you wonder why I said we wouldn't win 6 games?

[Liverpooldawg]

Wrong about what exactly? I reported he was looking to get another job. ESPN reported he was a finalist for the Oregon job. He didn't get it- Taggert did.

Looks like I've nailed it aGAIN. It's not my fault nobody will hire Mullen. As I said- he picked a bad year to go 5-7

Except other sources are saying he turned them down flat. You took the one that agrees with you as gospel. No surprise there.

And that may be exactly the case. And all I posted was what was reported in an ESPN link. And it's come to this. See how asshurt everyone is over it...

The guy was pretty good inside his range last year. You would have to think he would get over his yips at some point. My understanding is he was money in practice. He sure wasn't in the games.

Inaccurate. We want Mullen to turn his recruiting around. These job rumors cause heartburn every year for kids and we were in danger of losing some of our early enrollees this year. I'm really happy this didn't drag out any further and they didn't wait on Chip Kelly. If it had, we possibly would've lost some commits.

Even in a situation like this where it was very unlikely, kids were concerned. It doesn't matter what we say or think or do. It matters how it impacts the program and its negatively impacted the program every year, whether it's recruiting or our former gump of an AD giving him a huge raise and extension. Glad to see Cohen nut up this year. At least that's what the initial indications have been.

Oh no, we're well on our way but a 5-7 team isn't what's best for MSU. Also, ole miss was handing us our asses annually until the NCAA knocked he breath out of Hugh Freeze and they forgot how to tackle. This board will always hammer the school up north. And we're supportive of Dan when he's doing crap that makes sense, like running AW instead of BH, or not letting locker rooms issues fester with the QBs causing team rifts, or getting our early enrollees whatever confirmation they need to know he's not leaving.

That's another thing I want to clear up. Mullen doesn't need to tell the world he's not going anywhere, but he needs to make sure our commits and targets know that. And they weren't comfortable as of early this week that he's 100% going to be here. That can't happen and that's why some people want a more concerted effort from him on the recruiting trail. What makes me shake my head is how anyone could be perfectly happy (I'm happy with the QB guru, but not perfectly happy) with a 5-7 coach that's not giving 110% effort down the stretch in recruiting year after year after year. Whether that's because of the free lunch program his OL coach is on or him not making an effort to personally tell every kid that he's 100% committed to being at State. And I'm sure he's told some that, but not all.

So you are saying we have recruited so poorly- that we have to send a kicker out to kick that hasn't recovered from surgery instead of using our backup kicker? And you wonder why I said we wouldn't win 6 games?

Our second team kicker is injured also hence the reason we are down to a walk-on.

Don't be stupid. There's no gospel in any of this "reporting". But a lot of you shitbirds sure do get your thongs in an uproar over what is all rumors and sources.

Once again, there is a nest of Confederates at ESPN. This wouldn't be the first time they have thrown stuff out about us with no basis in fact. It won't be the last one either.

Because our "own" people repeat them. I never would have brought it up if it hadn't been plastered on this board.

ESPN confirmed what I said a couple of weeks ago

No other news media said Mullen turned them down

looks like I'm the best source

Hence you are repeating...

[Political Hack]

So now there's speculation on how a potential rumor got reported by a major news source?

At some point y'all have to recognize that if ESPN reports it, rightly or wrongly, ITS NEWS and it's more than likely going to be discussed here.

What I don't get is this is good news. Taggart is their guy. Mullen is at State. Everyone should be happy but for some reason a lot of people want to bitch about I seen it repeating what ESPN said.

Well you are on record for not supporting Mullen. I'd say I had better sources on the Mullen and Oregon rumor.

Literally no one was in an uproar over your post. The topic changed to ppl stoking the dans not committed fire from taggart. Had nothing to do with your post or you at all. Stop acting victimized.

Man, this thread went all

Chip Kelly must suck being he couldn't assist. You also said Mullen wanted the Houston job. I guess he'll finish second in that too huh?

Hell, Kelly got him in the final 2. Looks like a lot of help to me
