I am just curious as to where everyone stands. I know that there are many who want dan fired and many who want to let the season play out and then there are others who don't want him fired regardless, so here are some scenarios

1. we go 3-9 and lose egg bowl

2. we go 4-8 and lose egg bowl

3.we go 5-7 and lose egg bowl

4.we go 5-7 and win egg bowl

5.we go 6-6 and win egg bowl

6.we go 7-5 or better with egg bowl win

ok now fill out your opinion like this below..l.

1. fire dan

2. fire dan

3. fire dan

4. fire dan

5. keep dan

6. keep dan

[Political Hack]

1-2, he's gone.

3, he's likely gone.

4, toss up.

5-6, he's safe.

[BulldogBear]

1 - gone

2, 3 - keep reluctantly but better win 8 + bowl next year including a signature win

4-6 - never fire a coach that wins the Egg bowl

[Barking 13]

1-3 out
4 - maybe
5-6 safe

[Dawgfan77]

What about 6-6 and he jumps to UVA minn or GT?

[Jack Lambert]

you can have all the fun you want he is here next year.

sadly I tend to believe you are correct but over the last 10 days rumblings among some of the big boys are getting louder.

[preachermatt83]

What about 6-6 and he jumps to UVA minn or GT?

this WILL NOT happen. I wish but it won't.

Mullen is not going to willingly leave 2.6MM, 16 starters returning, and a QB like Dakota

correct

[Quaoarsking]

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 - Dan stays.

[coastdoglover]

Keep him one more year and go ahead and get rid of Striklin and hire a real AD and not a marketing guy. God forbid if he has to hire a football coach.

[Coach34]

1. we go 3-9 and lose egg bowl- Strick and Keenum call Dan in and say "Coach it's you or us- we choose you. They have your buyout together already"

2. we go 4-8 and lose egg bowl- We'll see what kind of nuts Keenum and Strick have- cause they wont want to pull the trigger.

3.we go 5-7 and lose egg bowl- same as #2

4.we go 5-7 and win egg bowl- Dan stays

5.we go 6-6 and win egg bowl- Dan stays

6.we go 7-5 or better with egg bowl win- Dan stays and gets another extention

How ya been Dad?

[J-Dawg]

1. Gone
2. Gone
3. Toss Up
4. Stay, but seat extremely hot.
5. Stay
6. Are we serious?

A real AD? Good grief, why do our fans hate everything we do?

Stricklin is a good AD.

Stricklin is a good AD.

The guy you are responding to "broke" the Rick Ray thing a few hours before anyone else knew. He was as connected to our basketball program and search as anyone out there. While a bunch of us have had a bunch of disagreements with him in the past(mainly in the Stans debate), he's as personally connected with our cigar boys and big booster structure as ANYBODY on here -- and sees the inner workings of what is going on behind the scenes to a level that you can't read about on the message boards.

How about we ask him why he feels that way about Strick instead of calling out the opinion -- and see how much he's willing to tell us? Because I'm honestly surprised that he doesn't like him -- and IF he doesn't, you can bet he's not alone in the sentiment among the people that actually make decisions at MSU...

[MadDawg]

1 - 6 Keep Dan

[smootness]

That's fine. I'll go ahead and ask then; coastdoglover, why don't you like Stricklin?

That said, I've already been informed that the cigar boys didn't get their way in the Ray hire, so it wouldn't shock me if they aren't huge fans of Stricklin. I actually like that trait in an AD.

It's no fun if you dont call him Dawggeezer

Your point there is what leads me to believe that Mullen will be here next season unless he loses out. Keenum and Strick are happy with the program for the most part right now so I hear.
