Finebaum say...
- Thread starter thekimmer
- Start date
Mullen has got the train headed in the right direction. Give Mullen and Grantham a raise, recruiting keeps improving and there is no reason for him to move on. And with om getting the hammer, recruiting will certainly improve on a more even playing field. Actually not even anymore as it will be tilted our way. Why would a decent recruit go to om over the next several years?
DJ must secretly be coaching the OL. Hevesy still recruiting though.
I was shocked at how well the OL played. We should only play 2 better DLs all year - Bama & Aubbie

Hev has always been a good coach just not a great recruiter. I don't know how often Looney helps with the Oline but TEs have to work with them sometime. It certainly would help to have more coaching on the line.
We have the loudest environment in the county and a fan base with reasonable expectations. He finally has him a DC and can let go of that side of the ball. Recruiting at an all time high, with QB's lined up for the next 6-7 years. We have depth and a juco system that he can pluck at whenever needed. He's got it made. Plus , if he wants a statue of himself, or a field named after or building named after him, he knows he needs to finish what he's started.
How well they played?
Fitz took it on the chin twice literally. He was gimpy later in the game too. When they hit him, they hit him hard.

Finebaum is a moron...plain and simple. His success is built on the fact he latched onto Bama's coattails decades ago and has ridden that fan base..one that will lap up any and all "Bama red-meat", to a nice gig with ESPN, because Bama has the largest, most rabid fan base in the SEC, and the country.
Paul figured out a long time ago that as long as he kissed Bama's ring more than anyone else, that fan base would reward him with a huge following. When ESPN got involved and was looking for an, "SEC" guy with a good following, there was just nobody else out there with the following Finebaum has. And even though it is primarily due to Bama fans, Paul did just enough, "SEC is best" stuff to get some other SEC school's fans to follow him as well.

He always does that when Mullen wins a big game. Why doesn't he say the same about Saban? I've seen no indication that Mullen wants to leave. And why would he? He's building his dynasty, and now that the Bears will have to play fair for a while at least he'll be able to do wonders.
Yes to all, and his salary will reflect his success. We should be able to match pay with the best if that's an issue.
Which is exactly why Booger cannot be an objective analyst on the SEC network. Either he is biased, or stupid.
The narrative is that a school is going to offer Mullen significantly more money than we pay him. There are currently six coaches that are paid significantly (at least 25%) more than Mullen. Of those six, four have won at least one national title. One has a Super Bowl appearance. The other won the Big Ten last year. At the moment, the amount of money it would take to buy him away from us is more than other schools are willing to pay him.
While Dan's 'demand' is HIGH and WILL increase, it doesn't mean that Dan wants to move. It may shock many, but think the Mullen family actually ENJOYS Starkville.
If all of that is true (and I agree that it is) then that makes Finebaum not a moron at all. It makes him a pretty smart fella.
He can take exception all he wants BUT if you look up definition of 'beat down,' there is a video highlight of that 37-7 LSU loss.
Is this the same Booger that after week two said he was most impressed with the two Mississippi schools and that what has surprised him the most is the defenses for the two schools and that the defenses will carry them? OM defense is going to carry them alright...straight to 7th in the west.
