Patrick Austin new recruiting specialist

[NWADog]

Apparently he's taking over Sleepys role according to multiple sources on Twitter. Not sure if it's been discussed before or not. From Callaway HS. Good or bad?

considering we are recruiting 3 Callaway players right now I would say good...for now.

I think it's pretty clear Mullen has felt the heat with regards to recruiting and he's working to address it. I would be surprised if one or two of our onfield assistants survive this offseason.

 

[coach66]

Yep, and now we are also beginning the process of grooming a successor to

Mullen with Peterson. Just my opinion but I like it.

 

[HD6]

You mean we didn't give Tyrone Shorter a job to procure Jeff Simmons?

 

[dawgatUSM]

I don't think this is even close to reality personally. If Mullen were to have a foot out the door headed towards retirement, I could see him grooming someone. But why on earth would he hire a high school guy to become an sec head coach.

Im sure the guy is great. But I think you're reading too much into this. This to me seems nothing more than a coach (Peterson) looking to start a path in the college ranks and this is the most realistic way of doing it

 

[dawgstudent]

I think your opinion is hopefully wrong. No way Peterson would take over as HC unless Mullen is here another 10-15 years and Peterson leaves to be a HC somewhere else.

 

[patdog]

I don't think that's the case at all. I like Peterson. But he's got a LONG way to go to even be considered for an SEC head coaching job. It's more a case of us building relationships with high school coaches in Mississippi and giving Peterson a start in college coaching. I'm glad he's getting his start at MSU and not somewhere else.

Rod Gibson of LSU 1999 Touchdown fame is joining the staff as well according to Twitter.

 

[patdog]

I still say he got the ball over the goal line. Another good hire.

 

[patdog]

We must have reneged on the deal. **

It's pretty comical that pretty much everything being fed to the Bear fans lately has been proven to be outright lies, or at the very least misleading.

 

[NWADog]

John Haneline returning back to staff as well. A lot of news coming out! He coached linebackers in the orange bowl after Collins left.

 

[coach66]

I think he is being groomed which implies a long time frame. He has a high

ceiling, smart of us to develop someone that could be successful and want to be here a very long time. Succession planning, hey it sounds better than a girls basketball coach*

 

[coach66]

If you see Peterson move to on the field coaching pretty soon then we will know.

Pretty sure they will spin it into "we broke a promise and all of Noxubee Co hates us".

Perhaps if Peterson had coached a girls' basketball team in TN, he might have a shot.

The Blinder Side

 

[Junction John]

I expect him to be moved to an on-field position at some point so he can recruit

nm

I'm not sure what you mean, we will know.. We will know he's being groomed, or not being groomed?

 

[paindonthurt_]

So let me get this straight. You think a guy whose only coaching experiences is in high school is being groomed to be the next head coach?

And if you reply and say I didn't say NEXT then I'll say, well aren't all assistant coaches being groomed to be a head coach technically?

And somehow moving him on the field will confirm this?

I mean really?

 

[Dawgbite]

My thoughts exactly! That's funny right there.

 

[Old Fart Dawg]

I still say he got the ball over the goal line. Another good hire.

I'm glad that happenned before instant replay

 

[coach66]

It's possible but probably not likely.

I think he wants a shot at OC.

 

[Tigr2ndbase]

I'll wait to see how Mullen hugs them to determine which one he's grooming.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

I saw another video angle of that play a few years ago and Rob Gibson was totally in the endzone!! Plus it was called a TD on the field, by today's Replay BS rules it would take an act of Congress to overturn it.

The guy is 2 years younger than Mullen. Don't see this being a possible successor.

From where I'm sitting they look like a

Couple of fresh faced sophomores.
