Now the story is he was a "fall back candidate" anyway

"D. Say goodbye to Dan Mullen.*He was only a fallback candidate in case the Gators couldn’t get who they wanted. But after his wife publicly complained about how unwelcoming and difficult it was to coach in Gainesville when Mullen was on Urban Meyer’s staff, Mullen’s chances of landing the job are all but zero."

A lot of people have really bad sources. It's not often a fall back candidate is also the number one target, that in the end they never wanted anyway. I'm struggling to keep the narrative straight.

This is like Ole Miss losing a recruit and all of a sudden he didn't have a commitable offer.

Realistically, it wouldn't make much sense for them to hire Mullen anyway. Most of the guys on this updated wish list they can hire for far less than Mullen would require, and not have any less of a sure thing.

Remember, Mullen is not wanted anywhere. This is the confed talking point. Yes, they want him to leave, but that doesn’t matter. He sux in their minds.

I don't believe they think he sucks. I think he lives rent free in their heads. They want us to think that they think he sucks, but all the while they want him to leave because the longer he's here, the worse things will get for them.

Here's a guide to help you with the Ole Miss mind set,

Ole Miss = Everything's great we suck at nothing

MSU = ********, they suck at everything

Just remember this and you want have any trouble understanding them. It get's passed down from generation to generation the same old talking points.

This has been out there for NINE years now .. had to laugh ..

Say goodbye to Dan Mullen. He was only a fallback candidate in case the Gators couldn’t get who they wanted. But after his wife publicly complained about how unwelcoming and difficult it was to coach in Gainesville when Mullen was on Urban Meyer’s staff, Mullen’s chances of landing the job are all but zero. The last thing any school with an opening wants is a coach who already is high maintenance (see: Mullen), with a spouse who isn’t happy being there.

OM fans will have to change the talking point .. again. This is the 3rd time my OM 'friend' has insisted Dan was headed to the gators. Today it will be .. NO ONE WANTS DAN.

Classic case of the fox and the sour grapes.
We want Mullen. We want Mullen. Oh wait, he and his wife hated it here and don't want to come back. He was only a fallback candidate anyway.

You know, I used

to think that it was comical, when om fans would suggest MSU was behind their troubles with the NCAA, but in actuality, we are (indirectly).

Mullen started kicking their ***, and it pissed them off so bad. Then, he (and we) started to rub their nose in it. This was the boiling point.

They then went out and got one of the dirtiest, dishonest coaches in the history of NCAA football, and told him to do whatever it takes to reverse the trend and beat MSU.

I read that yesterday. Good point.

Having said that, SDS has no clue what they are going to do.

The irony is that if he ever does leave and they have been predicting it for 9 years, they will then say: "See, I told you so". So I guess they are right**

I’ll bet (they wont admit it though) that they are shitting their britches at the idea of Mullen starting to consistently recruit in the top 15 or 20.

That reminds me of a story.

I remember I had the hots for this chick when I was a kid. Then, I found she didn't like me at all and wouldn't go out with me. So, I made the decision that I wasn't going to ask her out anyway.

This is what happens when our coach & university quickly & thoroughly respond to the rumor-mongers.

Obviously, you would like Mullen to call you direct every week and swear his allegiance to us. Doubt that happens though.

You guys sure are rough on Blackie. Maybe I'm just not reading all his posts, but I haven't seen anything so outlandish.

That's close to the same thing (reversed) I tell my kids about OM, but I throw in some historical context.

Thanks, RD, but you better watch your 6 if you're gonna defend me. Lot of posters here like to get nasty in a hurry. All it seems to take is for you to disagree with them on one post, and they go ballistic and start in with the personal insults. And the nasty ones tend to travel in packs. They'll attack every post, regardless of content.

Some of them clearly have agendas...some are just eager to insult, no matter what is posted. I could post the sky is blue on a sunny day and they would cuss me out and act like asses.

I truly believe, for some of them, they just need to vent frustrations from their personal lives, and they know they can post anything they want here without repercussions.

Some others really are just not the brightest, so don't seem capable of grasping nuance. Theses are the ones who tend to pretend I said something I didn't, creating a straw-man argument they can then blast, etc.

And there are others who maybe think I'm being condescending on some posts because of the way I word things. But that's the problem with posting rather than talking face-to-face...too much is left to interpretation, and too often wrong assumptions are made.

Finally, though I do try to ignore most of them, I'll occasionally jump down into the gutter to trade barbs. But I stand by what I have said repeatedly...unless the other poster gets personally insulting with me first, I won't do it to them. I'd much rather have a fun debate or discussion with someone who prefers to be a decent human being, and not respond with the BS unless or until it is justified.

Simply disagreeing with someone's opinion is not generally a reason to get nasty. That's the route less intelligent posters take. If they were reasonably intelligent they would use logic & reason to counter someone they disagree with...not insults. Literally every time I see a poster first get going with the insults, I immediately assume they're something of an imbecile and/or lacking in self-confidence. They want to steer the discussion into the gutter because that is where they are comfortable.

7 chapter posts isn't helping your case bud.
I welcome you and your opinions but you know what you signed up for. Kudos for appearing to have a thick skin though.

Thanks. I acknowledge I have a propensity to make long posts at times, but I've never felt like there needs to be a limit because literally nobody is forced to read if they don't like long ones.

Personally, I like to read long posts as much as short ones if the post is interesting. I just don't judge them on length. If I start a long one and find I'm not liking it, I just move on.

And yes, I caught on that there are a lot of, "attack dogs" on this board. But unlike another board I no longer post on, I haven't yet seen it coming from mods or owners. Seems like here, they don't empower abusive jackasses as mods, etc. I hope I'm not wrong about that.
