If I was Cohen and Keenum...

[Leeshouldveflanked]

If I was Cohen and Keenum, I would tell Mullen it is ok you can look, but so can we. Give him 1 week to sign the contract.... In the meantime, I would be on the jet to Memphis this evening to see Norvell, then to Birmingham to have Breakfast with UAB coach, then to Virginia to meet with Fuente for lunch, then to Florida to meet with Frost....

 

[patdog]

You’re suggesting we go ahead & hire a replacement & then fire him? I don’t think that’s a good idea.

 

[MeridianDog]

If I were them, I would continue to act responsibly and ethically, just like they are.

They are honorable men and so is Dan. Let them work this out the way they always have.

You don't threaten a good man, and Coach Mullen is a good man.

 

[Dawg1976]

If this drags on another week, I would be inclined to agree with you.

 

[ronpolk]

Thank God you’re neither of them.

 

[PineGroveBully]

If Lee would have listened to you for advice he'd gotten his arse kicked worse than he did.

 

[ckDOG]

Frost, Fuente aren’t happening. Norvell would be a long shot this year.

So you want to play roulette with UAB guy? Hell no.

If we overpay for Mullen, oh well. Give me his known floor with upside coming up in 2018 and beyond than potentially going back to the dark ages of football - which are still vivid memories for this guy.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

So you are content on losing to Ole Miss 3 out of last 4 years and letting the coach hold you hostage for a %30+ pay raise?

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

That is literally the most expensive way to hire a new coach. No way that happens.

 

[hatfieldms]

When you are winning lost of your other games, yes

Especially with the way the game went down the other night. Fitz stays healthy we win that game. Either way I like to look at the whole picture and not judge a coach on one game a year

 

[treeddeep]

So you are content on losing to Ole Miss 3 out of last 4 years and letting the coach hold you hostage for a %30+ pay raise?

When there are 7 or so other programs ahead of is looking right too, yes; I'm content.

When our starting QB was taken out in the first drive and we had a true freshman QB come in for his first start ever and we lost by 3 points, yes.

When we were picked last aGAIN and we won 8 games and will be going to a decent bowl, yes.

When we have a coach who hasn't cheated, lied, and tried to win the right way, yes.

I'm content and completely on board with paying him and Grantham.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Except we have a contract in place right now that would make that an incredibly dumb and expensive move

 

[ckDOG]

It’s called market value.

So you are content on losing to Ole Miss 3 out of last 4 years and letting the coach hold you hostage for a %30+ pay raise?

Something that I’m glad Cohen understands. We’re on our way to being a consistent top 25 program. Let’s not throw that away when there’s a loss to OM. Take this Lonnie Tinkle attitude back to 2003.

Should we ignore how they were able to beat us? The NCAA didn't ignore it.

Are you really one of those who completely hangs their hat on one game a year? I think Dan has bigger goals and Ole Miss becoming irrelevant will be a by product.

[KurtRambis4]

Well we finished

ahead of them in the league 3/4 those years, so I don't really care.

Its a dumb question, regardless.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Bbbut if you count

Egg Bowls Mullen has been on the losing side, he's 0-4!!!!1

 

[Shamoan]

Yes, an ultimatum to our all-time winningest coach seems like a great idea.**

 

[bulldoghair]

Do Egg Bowls matter?

"Should we ignore how they were able to beat us? The NCAA didn't ignore it."

What about this year?

 

[dogfan96]

Do Egg Bowls matter?

"Should we ignore how they were able to beat us? The NCAA didn't ignore it."

What about this year?

Losing 75% of your offense on the first drive plus a true freshman QB plus 5 turnovers. You seriously don't get that?

 

[bulldoghair]

"Losing 75% of your offense on the first drive plus a true freshman QB plus 5 turnovers. You seriously don't get that?"

I do get that. But that is also football. People are going to continue to get hurt. It's next man up and he better be coached up and ready. Due note that they beat us with their back up quarterback.
5 turnovers. I get that also. But that is part of the game. Should giving up turnovers exempt coaches from coaching accountability and responsibility?

 

[KurtRambis4]

Te'ammu (sp??)

isn't their backup, he's been starting for what, 3 weeks now?

Most have stated he'll probably be their starter, next year.

There's a huge difference in relying on your true freshman qb after 5 plays in a game and having a juco transfer who's been starting for nearly a month.

 

[Strike.sixpack]

Really? I tell you what, eventhough the circumstance of Fitz getting hurt should make this year a wash, if I give you this year will you give me 2014 and 2015 when they were committing some of the most historic number of infractions for one program to get an edge on us? When a program is tainted to a historic level and the infractions occurred during that run then you have to evaluate beyond the EB

 

[Carbaryl]

At this point it's no longer about money when it comes to Mullen staying or leaving ,it's about a commitment or two facility wise that he wants.

 

[bulldoghair]

"I tell you what, eventhough the circumstance of Fitz getting hurt should make this year a wash..."

A wash? Also considering all the circumstances Ole Miss sustained this year?

"if I give you this year will you give me 2014 and 2015 when they were committing some of the most historic number of infractions for one program to get an edge on us?"

If you give me 2012.

Why would I give you 2012? That's 6 years and the poster was using the last 4

ETA. The majority of their circumstances they created. Hence the NCAA sanctions.

 

[patdog]

It’s pretty apparent that Ta’amu should have been starting from day 1. If Patterson stays, I expect he’ll be #2 next year.

 

[T-TownDawgg]

Leeshouldveflanked should have flanked.

 

[mstateglfr]

Myopic.

 

[dickiedawg]

You can have 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2017. I’ll take 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2016.

??? Having a winning record in the EB is no excuse?

If you're satisfied and content with 1-3, then by all means give our coach a huge pay raise.

 

[knot2brite]

College football is a business. Mullen's impact on the bottom line has to be considered along with on field results. Without the consistent winning he has produced, we have no stadium expansion, and attendance and giving to the bulldog club would be nowhere near where they are. I remember clearly what things were like during the late Jackie/Croom years. He has impacted far more than what happens on the field. He is a known quantity and a sound investment.

Ah, so you want to revert back to the original point, just disregard how they got those victories. The NCAA didn't disregard how they accomplished what they did.

 

[philduckworth]

The MSU job is such a great job. Beat your 4 non-conference opponents + UK every year. Then beat the revolving teams that suck such as Arky and Ole Miss and you can make millions.

And just think,

it took us 100 years to find someone to consistently do it.
