Now I will say it

[Hanmudog]

Whether it was Mullens fault or not I don't know but losing Diaz and Hughes probably did us no favors on the recruiting trail.

We just need some damn coaching stability. Ole Miss seems to have no trouble hanging onto their assistants and it pays dividends for them........well that and paying out wads of cash.

Click here. Start at about 38 or 40. Work your way down. Pick your favorite 5 or 10.

Then click here and pick another 5 or 10 of your favorites.

1) David Shaw but he wouldn't leave Stanford. Tom Herman maybe? Larry Fedora? Hud? I really don't see a lot of names out there. Most of those look like lateral moves to a possible upgrade. I wanna go with a guy I feel really good about and the criteria you gave me didn't show me any.

I would like our first call to be to Hud. Don't give him the job. Make him interview, but he could be like a Hue Freezus to State without the douchebaggery that comes with Freezus Christ.

2) I don't really wanna go the coordinator route a second time.

I've gotta disagree with this. No reason to add 2 more projects in a limited class. None will play next year anyway. Need to start over and land a top notch OL next year.

I wasn't intending to suggest that we go find some leftovers at this point, just that you've got to stay on enough people to get 4 solid OL prospects. Three prospects a year leaves you with 9 OL that have been on campus more than two years, and that's assuming you have no attrition and everybody redshirts. It'd be one thing if we were following up a huge OL class with a ton of potential, but I don't remember that being the case.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

I wish someone from Whitfield would fire up the paddy wagon and load all you sandy vaginas up and lock you all away so you can sit swaying silently in your padded room clutching your backstreet boy posters drooling; pining for the good old days, where earth and sea revolve around dumbass teenagers who get some cash and strange tossed in their face. For once will reluctantly refuse to use the amount of "seventeens" i am digesting right now. We are MSU we will never be the school to sign crops of 4-5 start recruits. Ever occur to anyone that the players ending up in our camp WANT to be one of us? Program is doing ok. Could always be better. All you peach fuzz nutted bastards must be too young to remember the Felker and croom regimes. Wanna jump ship when your twitter feed makes you spit out your pacifier and **** your diaper-go be bama fans. Pussies. Sure don't remember everyone streaming confetti when Dak signed with us. As to what ole piss is doing, don't care. FYI they have a little different mentality. About everything.

 

[BossDawg78]

God almighty we were #1 in the country.

Yeah, and how did that season end up? It ended up being a huge embarrassment. A little better recruiting would've added depth and talent to the roster that would've helped down the stretch, and maybe, just maybe we could've avoided shitting the bed. We ended up getting mauled by Bama, UM and GT simply because we didn't have the ponies to finish the race.

I am so sick of this "durrrr just look at ahr past! We shud be happy! We caint do no better! We is M-State, by Gawd!!!1!" attitude by some of our fans. The past is gone forever. We have facilities that rival some of the biggest programs in the nation and Starkville isn't the bona-fide ******** it once was. This isn't your granddad's MSU, as a lot of people say. What the hell is wrong with aiming higher and wanting to step up our game? Why can't we? No, the past doesn't have a damn thing to do with NOW.

I was not embarrassed by the #1 season. Quite the opposite of it actually.

If you fire Mullen, what does success look like for the next coach? Is it beating Bama and OM? What if when we beat them we also lose to LSU and auburn and still go 10-2. Does mullens replacement need to go undefeated to make certain people happy?

With that attitude we might as well scrap the football program, because what good is even trying to compete then? You're damn right we could always do better, so why are you bitching about the people on here actually wanting better? Some of us are old enough to remember Felker, and we all remember Croom, and that should be enough of a reminder to our athletic department to never make dumbass mistakes like that again. We actually have people that care now, although there are still plenty of people within the ranks that need to be slapped really hard or told to get out of the way.

 

[DAWG61]

10 of those 19 wins you keep ranting about are Kentucky and Cupcakes.

9 of those aren't cupcakes then. Not bad.

Auburn
aTm
LSU
Arkansas
Auburn
Arkansas
Missouri
Vandy
Kentucky
Kentucky

10 SEC wins in 2 years ain't too shabby

We beat Auburn and Arkansas twice in a row in the same two years. I'm going to guess that's the first time MSU has ever done that so you can add that to Mullen's resume of things he's accomplished here that nobody else has.

Hey dumbass do you remember how being #1 in the country for five straight weeks after beating the **** out of LSU, aTm and Auburn felt? That was last year. Want that feeling again? Probably shouldn't fire the guy that gave you that feeling for the first time ever a year removed from it. Damn it's like you snorted a kilo of cocaine and then immediately murdered the dealer cause he didn't give you two kilos. Go 17 yourself. Don't post on here till your cells develop brain matter.

 

[gymdawg.sixpack]

You know it doesnt help we rebuilt from scratch in an era that is likley the most impressive of a conference run ever, and we just happen to be in the west, where the worst team goes 7-5. We are rebuilding amidst THAT. But a lot of you say "screw all those facts. We wanba win." yes we all do. But you atent being realistic. If we could take this very coach/team/program back to slmost any other time we are signing top 10 classes and playing for sec titles almost every season.
Call it unlucky or bad timing....it is what it is. Considering where we came from with croom and where the west has been this whole time with mullen, im highly surprised/satisfied we've done what we have.

 

[Snog]

True. Firing Mullen will not happen anytime soon, even if we have a losing record next year.

I'm not so sure about that. Losing three in a row and three out of the last four to Umiss makes me think all bets would be off. Throwing a losing season in on top of it would be the needed excuse. Just a guess.

Sorry, losing 4 of the last 5.

Feel better now? How is that drool supposed to make your brain cells any better? That entire post makes you look like the one angry from some all night coke binge. Yeah, it was a good feeling beating those teams. Too bad it was capped off with a meltdown of epic proportions. Again, I never said fire Mullen, but perhaps he should take a personal inventory on how he does a few things and we could actually BUILD ON that #1 ranking next time instead fading back into mediocrity. I still don't get what's wrong with wanting better results.

ETA: GO 17 yourself! You're stupid! I hate you! You're on coke!

 

[KurtRambis4]

I want us to do better,

but you realize doing better is competing for a national championship? If you fire Mullen (I know you didn't say do this, but dipshit starting the thread did) you are telling prospective coaches that winning 9 games a year isn't good enough. We need to win 11. That's a high bar to someone right off the bat. To me, you'd be setting us up for the next Rick Ray.

Not necessarily. It could mean a Sugar Bowl bid, or perhaps even an Orange Bowl victory. Maybe recruiting better without the last minute flips or losing recruits in your own back yard. Not having a god-awful 1-6 record against Les Miles, arguably the biggest moron in the West. Maybe finishing higher than 4th in the West more and not looking like a chump team during the last few games when you actually do finish higher than 4th. Things like that.

[olblue.sixpack]

Dan't Mullen has only beaten one team that has finished with a winning SEC record. Think about that. Really, sit back and take a deep breath and let it sink in for just a second.

Just because we go to a bowl game every year isn't a reason to celebrate, there are 40 (so many that they are calling up teams that don't even finish with a winning record nowadays, for real Missouri was 5-7 and declined a blow invite).

I did as you suggested and let it sink in.

Now where is the Academy going and what are your thoughts on the Little Dooey rumored expansion?

no clue what we have here. you get your nutts worn to a frazzle because rev beaver teeth recruits better. God almighty we were #1 in the country and you stupid redneck ignorant bastards sound like a bunch of winey *** bitches. All of you so called MSU Fans go *** yourselves. damn it when we go back to 5-6 wins a year then ***** otherwise shut the HELL UP dumb ********!

Get`s ***** slapped again by OM...he gone. I suggest you Mullenites gird your loins.

It depends. If Mullen takes a rebuilt team to 8-3 next year and then loses to a likely top10 OM team in Oxford then there is no way he loses his job.

Some of you are putting way too much stock into what OM is doing and it is badly clouding common sense.

 

[T-TownDawgg]

I just wish everyone would breathe a little that's all. Not saying that 5 star guys are out of reach. We need to go after those kids with a little more gusto for sure. I think saban has the most dominant program ever built. And he's getting all the guys he wants. And then uses them to plow a path of destruction not seen since Shermans march. And everyone is overreacting to it. No one can match it. Freezus Jeezzus is peddling able bodied women and anything of value to buy people. But recruiting year in and year out signing the top guys at 8 different positions has never been a staple at State. I'm not satisfied but satisfaction and reality are often world's apart.

 

[CookieMonster.sixpack]

More likely scenario is that we are 6-5 going in to Oxford, get smoked again, but we dominate some CUSA team in the B'ham bowl. Then we follow that up with continuing to not recruit at a level that will improve our standing, by missing on the O-line quality and depth again (Thanks Hev!). And we're having these same discussions again. But hey, we were #1 for a minute so I guess that's cool or whatever.

Bottom line, Mullen doesn't want to be here. I don't see a scenario where that works out well for us.

Depressing, but entirely too true.

 

[CookieMonster.sixpack]

I think he would like to go somewhere where the path to a championship doesn't run through the murderers row that is the West. The problem is he'd have to take a pay cut to go to an ACC school like Miami or Maryland (which he's not going to do because you don't change jobs for a pay cut) or he'd have to have a crazy season here to get a super elite job (USC, Texas type job). He can't do that because our O-line is going to be mediocre to very bad the next couple years. So he's stuck. And we're stuck. I don't like the way that could play out for us.

More likely scenario is you're obsessed with Ole Miss and you're but!hurt cause you actually listen to the ******** they throw at insecure MSU fans to get under their skin. That's you dude. You are exactly who they go after. The rest of us now have to pick you up because you have emotions like a teenage girl constantly thinking she's fat and they just got shattered all over the floor cause Ole Miss called you chubby.

We have eight wins almost locked already next year. 4 OOC, South Carolina, Kentucky, aTm, Auburn. Arkansas just lost Allen & Collins and the game is in Gold (Starkville's new name). That's 9 wins. That leaves LSU, Bama and the Cocaine Racists. Even if we lose all 3 we are still 9-3 and headed to a nice bowl game.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Your post makes total sense but losing to OM get`s under a lot more MSU skins than just Cookie Monster`s. I`ve watch and been an MSU fan for a very long time and without trying to make an argument one way or another, losing to OM too often will get an MSU coach a one way ticket out of town.

edited to add: if Mullen wins 9 games next year this will all probably be a moot point because he will finally have his long awaited ticket out of Starkville.

 

[Tomas Smid]

In Mullen 's defense, this is what he is up against . . . . . . .

http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-fo...6-ole-miss-recruiting-hugh-freeze-commitments


In this state there are only so many SEC level recruits to go around. He must expand recruiting borders even if it means overnight travel a few times a year.

 

[ChinaDogSunflower]

If we are beating Alabama, I guarantee you we will not be losing to Memphis St. anywhere

 

[CookieMonster.sixpack]

I'm literally LOLing at this. I care about winning the West (and the SECCG). Period. I don't live near or talk with any Ole Miss fans so I couldn't care less what they say.

A&M and Auburn auto-wins? Interesting theory.

Our O-line is going to be AWFUL and we no longer have Dak to cover it up. We are going to get pushed around up front. And it will be even worse in 2017. But luckily we return the worst running back production in the conference to cover up that weakness.

Our secondary (specifically at corner) is a MAJOR concern.

But yeah, I'm sure we'll just stroll right in to 8 wins pre-Egg Bowl. Nothing to see here, everything is fine.

 

[ChinaDogSunflower]

Damn! CookieMonster bringing the fire

 

[thatsbaseball]

So what resources does Freeze have access to that Mullen doesn`t ? Mullen just needs to get off his *** and make it happen. I just don`t see OM bettering themselves as an excuse why we can`t.

aTm doesn't have a QB. They all transferred. Auburn has pick 6 Johnson at QB and SCar was total dogshit last year. I feel confident we beat all 3 of them.

[The_Pylon]

It's what we've got, along with 1 SECW title

So that is the claim to fame, huh? "We were number one for 5 weeks one seaons!!!1!!1 Hurr durr"

Along with baseball NCAA runner-up and one Final Four appearance.
I don't use the ranking as ammo, but it had not been done before so don't be surprised when supporters bring it up. I also don't think the "disappointment" exists without achieving that ranking. A lot of people don't like Mullen because he doesn't suck up to them, and that's their right. I think he's put a good product on the field, especially compared to history, and that's how I'll judge him. I don't care if he kisses my *** or not, and I see him and his family around town fairly regularly.
