Classy letter from Stricklin

[MaroonNation]

Oh you so burned me. No debate. Just SPS Cool. Nice.

On the cabanas, the fans who bought those were doing it for the university. The money isn't that important, and neither is the quality of the tent. Or the chairs. Or the views.

They were mostly filled with wives and kids anyway who could care less what was going on in the game. They're just hanging out, talking, and staying out of the sun. It's just another form of donation.

Scott was an outstanding ad...that's why Florida wanted him. That said, one of our own with strong and unusual program connections left us out to dry. I have been tremendously let down by him in a way that is difficult to articulate.

Because they are pop up tents.... With drapes... And 9 people(s) ponied up $18,000.... For pop up tents....with drapes.... Actual MSU supporters, possibly with an education, spent $18,000 on pop up tents.... With drapes!!!

They must have known how many 11am games we were going to have and planned accordingly

Who is the classless POS that replied to the letter.."Bye douche"?

 

[Bulldogg31]

One of our dummies.

 

[Vice]

Yea I dont get the love. See ya and I hope we don't take him back in if he fails over there.

He's never coming back to MSU. Period. End of story. I liked Scott and thought he did some really nice things, but this isn't a Manny Diaz situation. He gone forever. Best of luck.

 

[Bulldogg31]

No, likely won't be back here, but that doesn't mean he did a bad job or is a bad guy. He was great for us, hopefully the next guy will be even better. It's a job. People change jobs.

 

[DancingRabbit]

Many of those that are pissed, are just pissed that he didn't get fired here.

They wanted him gone, but how dare he leave on his own to take a top 5 job.

Dear Bulldog Family,

This is a letter I have put off writing for the last few weeks, because saying goodbye is always difficult....

Wait - you wanted to debate? Your post was "Scott's an *******. The end." In all fairness, it didn't sound like you wanted a real discussion.

I could go point by point I guess, but suffice it to say I disagree with the premise that all the **** you outlined being Stricklin's fault.

I would start with: Mullen didn't come to Scott wanting out. Mullen was listening to anyone who called, maybe even shopping himself around through his agent. How in the world is that the AD's fault? If you can't stand the coach, you need to be mad at him about that one.

Dear Scott,

Thanks for lacking the balls to deal with Mullen last year when he wanted out and you said no.

You would have been bitching as loudly as anyone if Stricklin had just let the coach who had just led us to our most successful back-to-back seasons just walk away without paying the buyout clause that was in his contract.

 

[Old Fart Dawg]

Thanks Cochise. You are a great fan and always maintain a positive outlook. Honestly, we are all on this planet for such a short time, why not smile and be happy right?

I'm having a great time this year watching Mullen work through this adversity. It's interesting to me to see what he does. I like the move to the young guys and think that's going to really beneficial in 2017 and ESPECIALLY 2018. If the O Line and D Backs develop over the next 18 months or so we're going to be really really good in '18.

Hang in there, smile, have fun, life is good!

Scott, I always figured you read SPS

I know several people who were happy they bought those this year, instead of renewing their skyboxes. Saved them a ton of money, plus it's actually a pretty fun place to watch the game. I mean, if you have friends and stuff...

I think someone else mentioned this, but it does come with tickets n ****, so mathematically it's not as bad as some people are making it out to be.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Ha, not Scott, but gave you a Relentless Effort nonetheless.

I hate losing as much as anyone, but I don't think we're headed straight downhill. Lots of talent on the roster it's just inexperienced. The kids don't know how to win. It will come.

Mullen's a good coach and I think he will get this figured out. I learned a lesson with Cohen. I wanted him fired and I was wrong. Good coaches are good coaches, even in bad years.
