Outta touch reporters

[Dawg_Nation]

I was listening to Finebaum show. Talking to Bruce Feldman saying that Tennessee would probably pay Dan 6.5 million if they wanted him. You don't think state would match that offer.

They are so outta touch with our program. Dan has all he needs hear to win a championship IMO.

 

[was21]

They all keep regurgitating the same shat...it's like 17'in Groundhog Day movie

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Bruce Feldman may actually be on Jimmy Sexton's payroll

Rumor is that MSU will go to $6 million if necessary

 

[Muttley]

I was listening to some radio show yesterday where a UT grad radio personality said it was going to be the Mullen bidding war between UT and UF.

Somebitch trying to just make a payday.

I’d have to see what the offers for Dan Mullen were. I stated a month or so ago I wouldn’t go north of 5 million for Mullen but I think I’ve changed my position. It also depends on the offers he received. I might would go 5.25 -5.5 million with incentives to $6 million based on performance and going to Atlanta, New Years 6, etc. I’d make it heavy incentive laden. He’s building this program up I feel like. I just want to see him finish with 10 wins this year and make some 2014 level noise next year.

If Dan wants to take the next step,

he'll use any raise he gets for his assistants.

If if I were writing the checks, and I am not of course, the final amount would depend on many things like does he really want to stay? What is the new market rate? Do we have someone who we could replace him that doesn't put us in a Rick Ray situation?

Within reason, we need to cough up what it will take to keep him IMO. On the other hand, if UT comes in and offers 10 million, I can't see paying that much over the current market rate. I honestly can't see UT doing paying that much for somebody not named Saban, Kelly or Gruden. (I wouldn't pay that much for Gruden, but they have some sort of weird man crush on the guy).

I like Mullen but there’s a price I wouldn’t exceed and I’d be cool with it because at the end of the day the best thing in the trophy case is a Belk Bowl. I couldn’t in good conscience give him a blank check just bc Tennessee wants to get stupid. The man has flaws as a coach.

 

[TheStateUofMS]

Dan has gone down the list of the many things Miss St offers and what he's built it up to be. Tennessee, Florida check maybe not even half the box.

Neither Tenn or Florida will pay that for Dan Mullen.

Don't listen to these idiots who talk down Mullen in one article, then say he is going to another school in the SEC. He's been in the SEC long enough to know better, not to mention he has already been in the psycho ward known as Florida with FSU and Miami breathing down your neck.

 

[o_dawgnabit]

Add Sally back to the list of lazy reporters. He's claiming all over twitter Mullen is leaving.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Add Sally back to the list of lazy reporters. He's claiming all over twitter Mullen is leaving.

Yet, he has 2 "shows" on BSR today. I use the term show loosely, for his ****-***, lazy, ill-informed opinions are shorter than his sponsor plugging.

I inadvertently listen to a whole minute, 2 at best, of his yelling, then I'm subjected to twice that amount of time of him telling me that at a high school game on Friday people came up to him asking about his 17ing outfit. There is no way in hell that story is true.

 

[MaroonNation]

I never seen an entity more hell-bent on cuckholding their listenership than BSR! I stopped listening in 2015 after they started having Beirut Sally on once a 17’ing week.

 

[PineGroveBully]

Definitely no first year AD in Knoxville is going to because if Dan didn't have them in the playoffs in year 2 or 3 for that price then Dan's job wouldn't be the only one jeopardy.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Sallee sucks, but you're being ridiculous.

You can just choose to listen to the programs you want. He's there if you want to hear the more national/regional opinion on things, even if it's wrong. Boycotting everything not as closed minded as you is a Keurig-smashingly dumb way to go through life.

Every coach has some flaws BUT Dan has 'total control' of the MSU football program. Not so much at Florida, UT or A&M. They have big $$ boosters that love to 'give advice.'

 

[Duke Humphrey]

Feldman is a shill for TSUN

Always has been since Coach O days and the book he wrote. He looks down his nose at MSU

How many bowl trophies did we have in the case before he arrived, in the entire history of our football program? I would guess not too many more, if any, than the number he has added, which I believe is 5. And, I would say the Gator is the best. Not to mention that he did have us playing for an Orange Bowl trophy. But don't let facts get in the way of trying to diss the best coach we have ever had.

I heard Feldman on a morning show and he was very complimentary of MSU and said Miss State to UT was pretty close to a lateral move.

 

[state2013]

The state of the program is about the same considering a school like ut and their resources could get back into a national coversation pretty quickly. It takes a lot for us to get into national contention. I'd be willing to pay any coach that could consistently win 8 games here 6 million/year. The school will inevitably will make back several times more with higher donations, higher enrollment, merchandise and ticket sales.

 

[patdog]

I'm OK with having other shows on there. But if the name is BULLDOG Sports Network, I'd much prefer not to give another platform to someone who has an active agenda against us.

I've never given a thought to boycotting BSR or deleting the app. That's cutting off my nose to spite my face.

I suppose I could figure out how to get iTunes on my Droid or some other podcast app & only listen to the regular shows. However, I feel like that would take away from, or hurt, Brian's enterprise in some way. Plus, I enjoy all the media the app offers that aren't regularly scheduled shows (save the Sally ones of course).

When it comes to differing opinions, I'm all ears. This is why I have the Out Of Bounds app. BW's shows where he brings in fans/writers of other SEC schools are good. I'm not a swan lake homer who only wants to hear Bob talk.

All that said, if BS isn't being dropped by BSR then I will just deal with it. My biggest beef is that I accidentally give him clicks/listens; money talks & Bull **** walks. I've made my opinion (shared by many) known. I won't continue to ***** about him: beating a dead horse.

I agree, for the love of all that's good and decent, can all of us that listen to BSR please band together and refuse to listen to ANY podcast that Barrett Sallee does. Anything that will help get that asshat off the airwaves would seem to be a win-win for everyone.

 

[Moe Cabelle]

You point out my biggest beef. It's Bulldog sports network for crying out loud.

 

[Moe Cabelle]

Like you, I was always under the impression that BSR was Brian's "enterprise", as you call it, but that clearly isn't the case.

 

[dannyripms]

I would like these people to explain why is Tenn is a better job than just swallowing other people's **** and spitting it out. It isn't money, isn't better facilities, fans. They don't have the greatest recruiting area and they haven't been relevant in 20 years. so how is Tenn is such a better job?

 

[BriantheDawg]

100K seat stadium!!!!!!!!

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Cuz rocky top!!!!!

 

[blacklistedbully]

The argument is that they are a, "sleeping giant' that has continued to recruit well (recruits itself)...has a ton of revenue, an easier path to a division title, and an easier path to the CFP.

Not saying I agree, though with the right coach, they could continue to recruit well and could get things rolling again. But they HAVE to recruit nationally, and the average distance they get recruits from is much higher than ours, not to mention they have to recruit against other programs that recruit nationally as well. There is just not nearly as much in-state talent within a 180 mile radius or in-state to take advantage of, "staying home" recruits. Most of that talent is in Memphis, which is closer to several other SEC programs than it is UT.

Dan is a better fit at Miss State in part because he is good at finding local talent that he can develop with time. He does not appear to be an HC that is particularly interested in recruiting nationally, kissing 5-star ***, and being subject to expectations that go along with signing Top 5 classes.

I think UT fans who crave Dan aren't getting that he can be a very good coach, yet still not be a fit at UT. They do not have the patience to allow for an HC to take years to develop a program...much less have more than two 9-win-or-less seasons in a row.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Tennessee is Vandy without the academics....The one job that could open up that would be an issue is FSU... Jimbo wants in the SEC and FSU would be a good fit for Mullen if they want to pay the $$$$.

 

[patdog]

Right now, we're a lot closer to being in national contention than Tennessee is.

 

[Choctaw Dawg]

I don't understand why Tennessee likes Mullen, Mullen hasn't even beaten Bama which is apparently an absolute requirement for that "Rivalry"

 

[blacklistedbully]

Because they believe Mullen will get back to the top with "their recruits". Problem is, "their recruits" are the kind of 4 & 5 stars they have to pull from other states, requiring either a coach that is a great recruiter, or a program that recruits itself. UT hasn't competed for a division, much less an NC in so long, the next coach may well have to be a nationally great recruiter.

Dan has many strengths, but traveling twice as far to kiss the asses of elite recruits to convince them to come to UT instead of the more successful programs that recruit themselves is not one of them, IMO.
