Sitting in his office last Friday, he offered further perspective to the personal difficulty of that decision.

​

“That was a dominant part of my thoughts when I would think about Dan,” he says. “I didn’t worry could Dan do the job, I didn’t worry would he fit in here or would he understand the culture, any of that piece. Certainly didn’t [question] could he fix our offense and develop quarterbacks. A lot of my time when I thought about Dan was the Mississippi State piece and seeming disloyal to my alma mater. That still bothers me.
“I’ve had a lot of people from Mississippi that I know will never forgive me for that, and I’ve had several friends from Mississippi reach out with some really nice notes and they get it and understand.”

Always buttoned the top..

[TBone.sixpack]

17 him.

 

[Shmuley]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA








FERS.

 

[MaroonNation]

Did the friends who wrote nice notes and “got it” graduate from Ole Miss?

 

[Shmuley]

The way Don recruits, probably Florida State.

 

[BiscuitEater]

'If' he still cared one iota .. he would shut down Mullen's recruitment of MSU commits! Dead to me!

 

[AssEndDawg]

<17> that *******.

 

[MaroonCrusader]

So his HS cheer friends wrote him nice notes. Got it. Would love to be a fly on the wall at Christmas dinner at the in-laws home.

I hope that someone greases the sidewalk around the house he visits when he's back in Starkville, and throws out tacks.

 

[MaroonNation]

Touché.

If those friends are alums of MSU they can go straight to Hell too. My best bud is like a brother to me but if he pulled this crap I sure as Hell wouldn't send him a nice note - I'd call his sorry *** up and tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-***, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey **** he is! Hallelujah! Holy ****! Where's the Tylenol?

The legacy of an insufferable dick. 17 that guy.

 

[Palos verdes]

He made our athletic brand and school look like a zonkey at horse show.

 

[bigiron.sixpack]

Paging Wizard. We need a run of shirts. ^^^^ (maybe replace dick with sucks)

Scotty, I get it and understand......that you are a worthless piece of garbage.

Classic. After twenty years I still laugh every time. "Spotty-lipped"?

 

[HumpDawgy]

For the decision makers at State please listen if you read the pack. I know most of you love Scott Stricklin and are taking his actions as understandable since he works for Florida. If at some time in the future he is out of a job and comes crawling back for either his old job or any job at State, you better listen to the majority of State supporters who will never forgive him and never put a cent of their money into our university while he is employed there. His money raising abilities at State are over. You will kill our athletic dept. if you ever bring that sorry SOB back in ANY capacity. Most of us will never soften our stance no matter how many years go by.

 

[maroonmania]

Pretty much the same legacy as Benedict Arnold in the Revolutionary War.

My thoughts are that five years from now, we'll thank SS for hiring Don so we could upgrade personalities to JoMo. Let's move on.
Good ole Don, Bless his heart, will never have the personality that JoMo has. Or as we'd say at the funeral home, "Always speak kindly of the dead."

 

[Dawgzilla]

I agree with this. It might not pan out, but right now I am so confident in Moorhead that I think Scott did us a huge favor in hiring away Mullins. We got a better coach at half the price. I will always remember Mullen for laying the foundation here, but he had gone as far as he could with this job.

 

[thekimmer]

That is kind of condesending...

Agree with me you get it, smart, open minded. Disagree you don't get it, dumb, narrow minded.

All I have to say to scotty stricklands is this is a free country. You have every right to do what you did but we have every right to dislike how those actions might affect our alma mater and dislike the person who made it happen. Nobody twisted your arm and made you go to UF. You yourself in this interview list all of the reasons why State people are pissed off at you then you dis those same people as not getting it. You say you were 'seeming disloyal' to your alma mater. No loafers, there is no ambiguity or misunderstanding here. You poached a football coach from your alma mater that it wanted very badly to keep . You WERE disloyal to your alma mater period.

Now it might turn out for the better for us but it still does not change the motivation. You are persona non grata at your alma mater. Look on the bright side. If you 17 up and get fired at UF the loan sharks will hire you.

Scott did us a huge favor by leaving. Cohen will absolutely leave Stricklin in the dust I have no doubt. Cohen wants to win more than he wants people to like him.

If he cared so much about MSU, Mississippi and his friends here he wouldn’t have left for Florida, much less hired MSU’s head coach. He made his bed. Now it’s time for him to lay in it. I have no compassion for his situation because it is all self inflicted and if he were a true Dawg he would never leave.

 

[MaroonNation]

It’s simple really. He had what should have been the job of his dreams. The dream job of all of us that display our Degree of Choice from Mississippi State University on the Wall. To be the CEO of Athletics for the University we love. He obviously thought he was better than the University and all of us. 17 him. Hope he and his hired hunchback are ran out of Gainesville in less than 3 years and he comes back begging and Cohen sticks him in the ticket office

 

[Palos verdes]

I hate to hold animosity for anyone, but Stricklin disassociated himself from anything MSU, forevermore. He's smart enough to have understood the consequences, before putting himself in the position to make these decisions.

 

[MaroonNation]

I still refuse to spend money at Outback. Never been to one. Ever. I can get on board with this.

 

[AssEndDawg]

And by letting Dan make an attempt to poach our entire recruiting class he is sending a big "<17> you' sandwich to all his "friends". Sorry, but I completely respect Moorehead saying he won't recruit players committed to Penn State and I don't think it is unusual. As I've said before I'm not mad at Dan at all, but I do think the poaching is a dick move and Strickland should give him the cover by making that call. As Humpdawgy said though, they really need to understand not to bring his *** back for some sideline recognition in 15 years or whatever. Hope he gets fired in humiliating fashion in 5 years... something not out of the realm of possibility.

 

[prdubya]

Concur... we should shred his diploma and erase any mention of his time in Starkville. It will be like the vacated wins from the same era in oxford.

And also, we should make anti-Loafers signs and hang them up on EVERY road into campus this weekend. I think that would be a fantastic present to let him know how he is thought of by the fanbase.

Lastly, agree that he should never be allowed back to work for the University. He'll flame out in Gainesville soon enough, and it should be made abundantly clear to him that he has no place in the MSU athletic world ever again.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

can we get urinal cakes made of his face and dropped at the hump and dws?
