Augusta, I'm not sure I understand your position here. How can you imply we are powerless(involving the coach) -- while claiming we are powerful in recruiting?
Either we have power here -- or we don't. There's no way to logically make the two examples mutually exclusive.

Message boards on not comparable to board meetings in that analogy. Board meetings are more along the lines of when I say "behind the scenes". Would you voice those same opinions on a public website that your rivals companies have access to and could use against you with potential clients? Doubtful.

If our coaches are losing recruiting battles because of something "HancockCountyDog" or "engie" said, then we are way worse off than I imagined.
Go look at LSU boards - they are ready to fire Miles yesterday.
Mark Richt is having his assistant start his car.
Will Muschamp has someone tasting his food.
If you read any of those message boards, the stuff you read on here would be considered compliments. All three of those schools are doing just fine in recruiting.
Bottom line is that you want us to stop losing football games. We all want the same thing. Problem is that there is basically nothing we can do to help us win football games, other than go to the games and cheer. We have been doing that most of the time. You want there to be something else that we can - i.e. not posting critical comments about our coach - as if this will make his job easier and therefore he will win more games.
Let me be clear - nothing we are saying on here has one iota impact on what happens on the field. None. If we did, Russell wouldn't be running QB counters on a 3rd and less than 3.
I have no problem with you being positive about our situation. None, feel free to post about how great you think CDM is doing. Hell, Im still in the keep Mullen camp (If he tries to run a QB dive play with Russell one more time, he will lose me), but don't tell others what to post.

If you want to be part of the solution you fix the problem behind the scenes, not publicly. Anytime you publicly talk negative about yourself you will make the people who are listening believe it. Therefore, you have become part of the PROBLEM!!

I could be wrong, but I highly doubt Scott Stricklin would use public message boards to assist him in the hiring/firing of a head coach or assistant coach. However, I do believe that other schools are using what is being said on public message boards against us when it comes to recruiting. It's easy ammunition and we are giving them plenty of it.

Croom fell into the "know he is leading our program in the wrong direction" category. I attended a spring game with 1,000 fans in attendance and we tied the game 0-0. At that point, I don't think we had anything to lose calling for Croom's firing. We are not even close to that point with Mullen.
However, just so we stay on topic. This thread is NOT about me trying to defend Mullen or say that we would be crazy if we fire him. I'm simply trying to get a point across that multiple threads daily about Fire Mullen/Hire Hud is not part of the solution and we are simply only making things worse.

So what is your solution?
Seems to me like our only options that would suit you are to shut this mf'er down or turn it into Genespage.....I seem to like the way this board is realistic. Not overly positive, not overly negative. Which is why I respect, and somewhat agree, with SOME of what you are trying to say, but unless you want message boards not to exist...negative things will be said. It's reality

Have you read the weekly Meltdown by SEC fans? How about the death threats the Mizzou kicker got last week? The larger the fan base the more you'll find fans bitching. You are fighting a battle you can not possibly win.

Good God, the meltdown level on message boards after "Cannibalism Saturday" was atrocious. Luckily, we were on a bye week so we weren't having to worry about cannibalism. But you know what, we watch other games besides MSU including, but not limited to, OM. Watching that game got the board thinking and we had discussions about it (albeit over the top). Also, the moderation of this board is amazing in that when something goes wayyyyy too far *cough* HUD-mania *cough* they were all combined into one thread and left there after the UK win. Now here's my problem with what you're thinking, Augusta. I am a student here. This is my fourth year of going to every home game in the seasons. I have been a lifelong MSU fan and have a strong opinion. Freshman year of college I joined BulldawgJunction.com (as I know some of you were on). It was fun, I had a blast and I had no qualms with anyone on there. Was it because everyone was pumping sunshine up their asses or being negative all the time? No. We all had a mutual respect for each other and we were able to discuss things freely. THAT is what a message board is all about. A message board is a place for people to voice their opinions with other fans and have a civilized discussion. If you don't like what I think is a perfect message board in that you can see both sides of every issue, then go to genespage and have fun with your butt buddies pumping sunshine for each other. I'll stick with my realistic world where there is always at least two sides to an issue. I bid you good day.

EngineerDawg you have 6 posts for crying out loud. You may completely disagree with the point I'm trying to make but good god, you're the last person i'm trying to get my point across to. Thinking something and posting something are two completely diff. things. You may be the biggest fire Mullen guy out there but the fact you don't post that everyday means this argument is no way directed towards you.

Dude...my point was that since you only have 6 posts you obviously aren't posting Fire Mullen threads daily or you would have more than 6 posts. Relevance has zero to do with it.
