Ouch. David Turner to Texas AM

[rugbdawg]

Great. Save the post for January 2018.

Amazing how easy it is to go from pumping sunshine for OM to doing it for the Tide. Kid's a piece of work.

Combine this ^ with 8dog's comment below and you have the winning answer.*

I'd think he'd want consideration as the DC, and at this point he sees that it's not coming with Mullen.

Can't believe that. The guy that said that's going to happen is never wrong. He knows everything about Mississippi State sports.

Bless your little heart

That's possible and even probable. Sirmon will probably have some input into any hires on defensive side as well, or he should anyway

 

[BossDawg78]

Fixed. It's amazing Mullen appears to overcome this issue in most cases but how much better
could we be with great coaches that stayed put?

No. $#!t.

It is indeed getting old.

Lord, I hate hearing that about Coach Turner. He has consistently recruited and turned out NFL quality DL guys and saved this last recruiting class from being a complete cluster 17 by getting Simmons.

I also feel that Coach Turner really wants to work for an African American Head Coach. He came to MSU to coach under Croom and was retained by Mullen, but as soon as that 1st year with Mullen was over Turner left to work with Joker Phillips at Kentucky. Turner stayed with Joker until Kentucky fired Joker---then he came back to MSU to wait for the next opening. Now he is leaving for aTm to work with Sumlin---I think it is just his personal preference to work for an African American Head Coach, not racist just personal preference.

Of course it doesn't help matters that Mullen is really hard to work for.

**HYPOTHETICALLY**

So, 6-7 this Fall. We get embarrassed by TSUN then go on to shallack a cupcake American conf. team in the Birmingham Bowl or Liberty or whatever...


Next Fall, 4-8 another loss to OM at home, among others, are we bringing Dan back without discussion?

No. That is a strange question. I would say he is closer to fired than brought back, and certainly not brought back without question.

At least Mullen's McCorvey isn't Offensive Coordinator? **

Yes, I think you're right. But he would have stayed if he'd gotten the DC job but that apparently wasn't in the cards. Perhaps Mullen felt he lacked some of the qualities needed for that job.

Love your gif!

RocketDawg, it was reported, accurately, at the time of the initial changes, that coach DT did not want the coordinators job...

 

[was21]

Where was it reported? Citation please...thx

 

[RocketDawg]

OK, I didn't know that.

RocketDawg reported, perspicaciously, at the moment of exact inception, that State had two coaches with the initials DT.

Reported by whom? Faulk? Jones? Robertson? Those three are just gullible enough to hear it, believe it and report it.

 

[RocketDawg]

I did? Don't remember doing that.
