The ******** on this board is strong

[msudawg200]

Some of you need to take a step back. It’s not like Mullen left us after 2 or 3 years. He gave us 9 strong years, left us set up for success next year, and took a ~top 5 job for more money.

Rather than being angry about him making a decision for his family that, frankly, most people would make, how about celebrating the success he brought us. We paid him well to be sure, but there are a lot of coaches out there that are paid well and don’t produce anywhere near the results.

We’re setup well for the future in large part to him, and I wish him well other than when we play him.

Wanted to be closer to his baby mama?

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

So we are not allowed to be frustrated given the current climate in the state? Or that one of our own took him from us?

I’m mad as hell and 17 Stricklin.

I hope they both fail miserably.

 

[MaroonNation]

How about I tell him to go 17 himself? And you can help him do it.

I laughed.

It's the timing that's ******. We are/were poised to bring in a top 15 class plus return nearly all of our starters. I would think returning all of those starters, a little stability within the staff would help because of their familiarity with the players. That and WHERE he's going. All this garbage about Florida being a lateral move, Megan not fond of the people there, yadda yadda, plus Strick's sorry loafer wearing ***.

Oh there he is, Maybe we'll hire Hudspeth!!!1!1!!1

 

[dannyripms]

what happened to a little loyalty. we gave him an opportunity when he was a no name. if we offered 6 million and he left then 17 him. There's only so much money someone can make to be happy. but like most here, I'm tired of the drama every damn year of him leaving. it hurt us in recruiting I don't care what anybody says. I want a coach that's gonna be our bobby bowden or Petrino. someone that's loyal and can average 8-9 wins a year. I think we will end up better in the end. Fat Matt broke his ***.

A reasonable man

I’m off the hud wagon. But super happy to see what a winner can do with ESPN money and facilities.

 

[HamSammich]

I know we like to say we don’t have fans we have family, and that is somewhat correct. However Dan Mullen is not a fan, he’s a businessman. Same goes for Strickland. It’s Scotts job to put the best coaches he can possibly hire in place. Dan is one hell of a coach and is a wanted commodity. This is all business, not personal.

We did just as much for him as he did us. We gave him a chance at his first HC position and made him one of the highest paid coaches in the country while he was still learning.....I feel like we were owed more than this ********.

 

[msudawg200]

Agree but put yourself in his shoes. Good chance he doesn’t have as good of an opportunity available to him next year. Anyone who is mad at him is wearing maroon glasses and lacks perspective. I’m not saying not to be upset. I’m upset too, but no way I’m blaming or mad at him. Just sucks it happened. That’s life. Hope we hit a home run with our next hire too.

 

[dawgdr]

So what is the over/under on how long he will last. In the long run he would have made more hear. Grateful he gave us some good years, been around a long time seen plenty of bad ones. But for God's sake, they just fired a coach who won the east the past 2 years and then a bad one. Hope we whip his *** next year in Starkville! Other than that good luck to him!

So Dan owe’s is something more than being probably the most successful coach in our program’s history? Come on. And the whole “we gave him a chance” doesn’t hold much weight either. He earned the opportunity, and if we didn’t give him the chance, someone else will. We’re not entitled to anything more than what he gave us.

 

[Seinfeld]

No kidding. Mullen finally figured out that if he wants to be able to take that next step, he can’t just quit recruiting and coaching midway through the season, but his epiphany screwed us this year.

I really don’t have any strong feelings one way or another towards Mullen. He’s been a good coach for us, but he has a lot of weaknesses that come with his strengths. Stricklin, on the other hand, can absolutely eat a bag of dicks

 

[MaroonNation]

17 his shoes. All of them. Even his 17 Beazy’s or whatever the 17 they were. And 17 his feet. And 17 Scott Stricklin and 17 his loafers too.

Dude it's the Internet. Al Gore intended it for days like this.
