Would you guys up your ante

[tired]

If Mullen was willing to go all in and there was an acceptable plan in place?

 

[The Riddler]

Easy answer Mullen is not going to go all in. He floats interest in any big job that opens these days.
Mullen is also not going to change his plan. He's like Malzan he's a system guy. He is going to do what he does come hell or high water.

 

[tired]

You didn't answer the question & this isn't a bash Mullen thread.

 

[patdog]

Let's see how UM's NCAA situation ends before we start thinking about going all in. If they come out with manageable penalties, then hell yes.

Are you asking how much I would contribute? Or would I be ok with the program being more aggressive in playing the recruiting game.

I would throw in another $1200 a year for dirty recruiting. I think that would get us a blue chip or two each year (my understanding is that blue chip water boys go for about $600 a pop to sign).

Would I be ok with being more aggressive? I don't want to go trying to outbid anybody. I do want to do enough to "show the love" to people we naturally should have an advantage in getting.

I wouldn't say getting into bidding wars, but if there was an acceptable process in place to get higher ranked recruits, & it took more money to get it done, would you give more? And would you be ok with a more aggressive style of Recruiting?

A friend & I had this discussion. He doesn't want anything to do with becoming more aggressive. He uses OM as an example. Another question, would it be worth it to win a NC but get busted?

I'm with patdog and tired on this one. First, let's wait and see how things pan out in Oxford. If, for instance, Ole Miss gets <20 scholarships taken away and no significant show-causes, then yes, we have to go for it in order to compete. Wait and see. Also as Tired said, avoid bidding wars.

 

[Allday.sixpack]

We had a great recruiter in Sleepy Robinson. Mullen wouldn't pay him more than 32k so he left last year. Mullen doesn't understand local connections. He's to stubborn and lazy to recruit, and only offers scholarships from our attendees from big dawg camp.
We have lost winnable games due to his in game sabotage his staff turnover and stubborn Yankee ***. I wish SS would take DM with him to Flarada.

It will be more than 20. No significant show causes. Hugh J'Teeth keeps his job.

It won't be everything we could ask for, but it will sting them. 3 years technically, but it will affect them for at least 5 due to the heavy reductions. And I was wrong about Bjork - my new take is that he will keep his job as part of the deal.*

Worth it? Nah, not for a Sugar Bowl win. Hell, we've been to Atlanta, went to #1, couple of Gators and an Orange and we haven't paid anybody diddly ****, comparatively. Now... you tell me a NC comes with it, I might take that deal.


I mean, I'm probably just spitballing ideas here*

 

[Junction John]

I'm not for firing him, but damn your first paragraph is the truth.

There is a long way we could go without putting us in danger of being in ole miss' situation. If they had just cheated within the normal cheating range, they would have had all benefits with no pain. They probably wouldn't have gone to a sugar bowl, but they would have had more than their traditional level of success. We could do the same thing.

And what is our traditional level of success?

I'm pretty certain

all coaches are "system" guys.
