What was Stricklin's greatest accomplishment at State?

[Center Z]

For me, it's convincing the SEC to allow cowbells into DWS.

Landing howland. [/faaaaaarrrrrrt].

 

[Mafiadawg]

When all is said and done I really think he will be remembered as our alum AD that left us. Time will tell on howland

 

[Allday.sixpack]

17 him. He's a money *****. Foley and Spurrier will chew his ***** *** up and spit him out.

I think you're right about this. I don't know if we countered and if we did was it competitive. However, if we came remotely close to the Florida offer I'm gonna be a bit disappointed in him leaving. It kinda feels like he's giving up on state.

[Uncle Ruckus]

not wasting money on unused buttons. if he's paying for it, he's using it.

 

[Shamoan]

The coordinated top button team photos was a high degree of difficulty, so I'm going to go with that.

 

[mount lefroy]

Correction. Being hired by Florida.

 

[dickiedawg]

It would have been DNF by a mile.

Agree with mafiadawg though. Not that you can really blame him for leaving, but I think that's his legacy at this point. He's Pat McMahon.

It amazes me how small the world must be for a lot of people.

Getting rid of left field lounge. **

Selling everyone on the idea of a 100 Million Dollar new Baseball Stadium development and only following through with a 50 Million Dollar stadium while killing LFL in the first phase.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Did he start the #hailstate campaign? That's gotta be it, right?

That's going to be around a long, long time.

 

[dawgstudent]

Stricklin said he wanted something identifiable for the University like Roll Tide and War Eagle. So he pushed Hail State. And it worked tremendously.

This, this, this.....

For me, it's convincing the SEC to allow cowbells into DWS.

Only a born and bred State man who understands this tradition would have even tried this much less pulled it off. He did have the help and support of another true State man in Kennum. I am a bit nervous that an external AD hire will not have any interest in the commitment needed to keep this tradition going.

Which brings up an interesting point. What will Stricklin's position be on cowbells when the Dogs come to the swamp? Wonder who his family will be rooting for on those days? Oh and another thing Scott, give O'Sullivan a kick in the *** for your homeboys on your first day.

 

[dannyripms]

From what I understand Howland landed in his lap. He really didn't have a say. So the only hire he had was rick ray. Let's all be honest here, Scott was ok at raising money. He's a marketing man. But I believe he was more of the product of right place right time. Dan Mullen was just hired as a football coach and the team was winning more. Therefore more money was gonna come in regardless of what scott did. I'm not saying he's not any good but I believe a lot of folks over blow things. We will be just fine as long as we go after a young innovative guy.

 

[HotMop]

I'm going with you on the Cowbells and on HailState. I'm just not sure anyone will remember in 10 years if it was started under him. I had to look at the dates and thought those started under the Ninja.

I don't think he'll have a legacy that anybody but hardcore fans remember. Would people even remember LT if he was just mildly incompetent rather than completely incompetent?

To the extent people remember, I think Hailstate will be his legacy, but I don't think people will remember. How many Ole Miss fans can name which Chancellor made saying/doing racially offensive things Ole Miss's trademark?
