He bailed on us before the orange bowl. Canning Mullen and then hiring Collins sounds pretty ****** if you ask me

Is Mullen leaving or something? I mean I'm not the biggest Mullen fan but I figured he is going to at least get next year

Good lord. Our cigar boys are flaming idiots if they wanna replace Mullen with Geoff Collins.

Think I would legit stop watching MSU football if that happened.

Ah....no. He wasn't that good at MSU with the talent he had and got lucky today that LSU fumbled on the four, missed a chip shot and, guice ran the wrong way on a pitch with three seconds left.

To correct my post, I'm pretty sure he bailed before the egg bowl that season. There were definitely some distractions amongst the coaching staff beyond getting us to the playoffs

Great. let's hire another guy with no head coaching experience and a defensive one to boot. I enjoyed having a couple of good QB's in my lifetime at least.

No way I could support Collins as a HC here, what's he done to resemble a HC in the SEC?

I get that this season has not been good but it would be stupid to get rid of Mullen. We are going to be a very good offensive team next year.

Sorry I don't post but have read here for years and finally feel the need to give my two cents. We will be luck to not give up 50 points for the third straight game next week. We are behind nearly every school on most aspects of the game. The coach is only auditioning for his next job and poorly as of late. I can't see us being much netter next year when our offense no matte how good can't win with out defense giving up this much. Our secondary has sucked for 3 years and now our run defense gets throttled. These are dark times but really are unfortunately the norm here. The flukes are the good years.

I believe after Mullen threw Collins under the bus in the press conference following the Mississippi game of 2014, he was offered the Florida DC job the following Monday and took it.
Keep in mind, if Mullen does survive into 2017 with a new DC, it will be the 7th time in 9 years that he has made a change. The common denominator is Dan Mullen.


Mullen told Collins he could not coach in the Orange Bowl.

At MSU is getting some traction.

He was Stricklin's favorite last year should Dan have bolted.

I have no know knowledge if that's Cohen's thinking but I'd wager he's using the exact same playbook while going through on-the-job training.

His crappy defense cost us a shot at a national title. It would be SO MSU to freaking double down and give him his first head coaching job. I bet he would hire Manny to be his DC too, Maybe bring back Woody for OC.

I'm mad just thinking about it. We've positioned ourselves to where we could hire a coach with head coaching experience, be it Taggert, Brohm, Fleck, etc.

MacIntyre at Colorado is still jumping up and down waiving his hands! From 2-10 at San Jose State, to two wins away from the CFP. Guy is fixing to get paid!

It's gone both ways.

McMahon
Andy Jackson
Collins
And now they've poached our AD

I can't figure out if it's flattering, or insulting.

Since when is Mullen leaving? Did I miss something....

At MSU is getting some traction.

If that did happen, it would be at the Croom level of MSU hiring......I would literally give up my BC membership and tell John Cohen to go 17 himself

That's the thing that pisses me off more. If Mullen leaves - I hope it's of his own accord. He deserves one more year.

Relax, it was just some of Jackie's old guard trying to identify a coach under

Mullen that could coach and little and who actually was a good recruiter.

I actually wouldn't care about Collins being HC - that doesn't bother me as much as State firing Mullen if that's what they were meaning.

I know of no serious effort out there by any group to fire Mullen at this point

but I have been told there will be some house cleaning.

Mullen has had a whole lot of fluke years in a row then. That's been the norm for 6 straight years not this year.
