Offseason curiosity thread

I REALLY think people are underestimating how good Dak Prescott is. I really do.

Do you understand that Dan WON 9 games in 2010, beat Michigan, lost a 3 point game to eventual NC Auburn .. with Chris Relf at QB?

What else ya got? That dog won't hunt.

This is the crap that our fans spew. It's ridiculous. For example, since 2012 in the nonconference, Ole Miss has played three teams that have won 9 or more games. Let me know the last time we have played a 12 win team in our OOC schedule. Plus, we were extremely lucky to catch Mizzou in a down year last year. We got Kentucky AND Vandy in 2014. Come on, don't be a sheep. Egg Bowls: Three out of last four already AND heavy favorites to be four out of five.

Your act was kinda cute in baseball season. Ya know .. posting crappy 'we can't beat anybody' stuff. What is more ridiculous is 'so called MSU fans posting what you post.

For example, since 2012 in the nonconference, Ole Miss has played three teams that have won 9 or more games. Let me know the last time we have played a 12 win team in our OOC schedule.

OM has played three 9 win teams since 2012 .. and MSU has played one (2013 Oklahoma St, 10-3). In 2012, OM lost to a 9-win Texas team 66-31. IN 2014 they beat Boise St who won the MT West. in 2015, OM lost to Memphis 37-24 to Memphis who won 9 games in the American West Conference and proceeded to get the crap beat out of it by Auburn by 21 in the Birmingham.

So, in summary .. OM lost 2 of the 3 to '9 game winners' .. beat someone from Mt West and lost to a mediocre Memphis team. Hey, news flash .. all SEC teams are going to start playing 'power 5' games.

Plus, we were extremely lucky to catch Mizzou in a down year last year. We got Kentucky AND Vandy in 2014.

Another news flash .. MSU has ZERO input into the SEC schedule. Historically .. OM has Vandy .. the easiest SEC opponent .. period.

Come on, don't be a sheep. Egg Bowls: Three out of last four already AND heavy favorites to be four out of five.

Since Bucky's arrival at OM, we have identical records and have won the exact number of SEC games. Egg Bowls will even out. They have since the arrival of Jackie in 1992. OM has won 12 .. State has won 12.

In 2010, we beat TWO teams with an overall winning record. Florida and Michigan. We scored 10 points against Florida. Michigan was horrible when we played them. We also had something like 6 NFL players on the defense that year. What else you got?

You really think we have one of the best def front 7 in the country?

Outstanding misdirection. I pointed out that Mullen has developed QBs before .. and he will do it again. Besides Relf, Mullen has coached other QBs including .. Alex Smith (#1 NFL draft pick), Josh Harris, Chris Leak, and Tim Tebow (Heisman winner).

Your only counter was that the 'competition was weak.'

So what? Last I checked .. State was still playing in the SEC West .. the toughest Div / Conf in the country. We played 8 SEC games, 6 against the West.

That is a pathetic rebuttal .. try again & stay on subject.

What exactly do you like about Miles? He's a mediocre coach who's lucky to have done as well as he has due to elite talent gifted to him by the LSU brand. He has monumentally underachieved given what he's had to work with for most of his tenure there. Miles coaching here would be an absolute train wreck.

 

[ShrubDog]

4-8 or better and Mullen is safe this year. Two consecutive years of .500 ball or less with 4 consecutive losses to Ole Miss? Mullen is gone. Long gone. As he should be. Mullen will also not get the nice guy (Les Miles or Mark Richt) free pass for a season.

Since you have half the problem solved by having Mullen gone, who would be his replacment to bring MSU football to a peak?

You are calling for the man's head with no solution.

[h=2]Y'all leave rugb alone and let him do his work...[/h]

Screw that. The schtick is fine in baseball, where we can afford to be a little self deprecating and where most of it is dealing with ingame stuff anyway, not teh general direction of the program. We don't need fans constantly belittling our football program, even in jest, when we get so much BS negative coverage anyway.

 

[OliveBranchDAWG]

Absolutely, we are deep and talented at every position on the defensive side except CB. I just pray Buckley can turn Jiles/Cleveland/Durr/Graham into a respectable unit. I'm confident in saying this will be Mullen's best defense

 

[rugbdawg]

Wow. You suck at making points then. Your point was that Mullen has developed QBs before at State? Here's your quote:

"Do you understand that Dan WON 9 games in 2010, beat Michigan, lost a 3 point game to eventual NC Auburn .. with Chris Relf at QB?"

How could that POSSIBLY be "I pointed out that Mullen developed QB before." Your implication is that we won DESPITE a ****** QB. Make no mistake. Relf is/was a ****** QB. He was a slow lumbering giant with an inaccurate rocket launcher for an arm. He left as a ****** QB too. The difference is we weren't asking him to make seven step drops in a pro style offense like Croom was. Mullen maximized his strengths and didn't ask him to make any semi-difficult reads or throws. That team was built on strong defensive and offensive line play (Thanks Croom, seriously), a stud RB, and a strong LB core. All Relf had to do was throw the occasional slant, deep ball, and screen pass.

Dan was able to mask ****** QB play because we were strong on the Oline and at running back. Guess what? Dan was able to mask horrendous OL and RB play this past year because of an elite QB. We don't have a strong offensive line and our defensive line does not have enough depth to replicate 2010. We can't get into 10-7 slugfests against the better teams we play. It's going to be a long year.

They need your input on the financial thread because you could sell dreams to a mannequin.

 

[The Fatboy]

I hate to break it to you but they will hire Dabo next bruh.

 

[rugbdawg]

What the hell? I'm not calling for his head. I just think seven years is enough for MOST major college football coaches at any program. Dan doesn't have the fire he once had and it shows. That's why he was looking to leave. He needs a fresh start to reenergize himself. There are plenty of coaches that can come in and take us to bowl games.
