This 105.9 guy makes me sick...

[jdbulldog]

just passing through and he is giving State down the road for paying Mullen 5.7. He keeps laughing his *** off. He also says it is a done deal that Mullen is staying.

Don't know who the guy is, but if Mullen signs an extension for 5.7MM/year, Cohen needs a raise too.
That said, if he's clueless enough to say that's a bad deal for state, I don't trust his sources either.

Is he an OM guy? It's kinda strange, but I've been noticing a lot of OM fans getting perturbed (well, snarky, rather) that the majority of State fans are wanting Mullen to stay and get a raise after the Egg Bowl. I guess they are upset that we aren't as upset as we should be about the loss? Something like that?

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

If it's that Weiner guy, supposedly he went to MSU.... but he is always dogging MSU and praising Ole Miss...he's been on Ole Miss side during the investigation as well...

People dont seem to get what a risk hiring a new guy is. The guys impact on giving, enrollment, the economy is incredible. Not a risk we need to take if we can avoid it. Almost no program is plug and play.

But it’s ok for Michigan to pay

Harbaugh more than 7 million to beat no one this year (I guess he could beat OSU today). Mullen is worth it when you see what it takes to win consistently.

Bjork was on Head2Head earlier this week touting the value of consistency at the head coach position. So if your own circus ringleader preaches it, why dog MSU for attempting to maintain stability? That’s at a premium especially at this time. Too many openings on the coaches carousel this year.

This is exactly the point. There are not many sure things out there and we couldn't hire any of them. A few years ago people thought Hud could be plugged in if Mullen left. How does that look now? If paying an extra million "over market" maintains continuity and avoids the transition risk or risk of a bad hire, I'm all for it and it's a small price to pay in the big scheme of things.

It was Jake Wimberly, who did go to State. Weiner is a fan, but went to Trinity.

Jake doesn’t have any actual opinions of his own so he just comes up with the most absurd thing he can and throws it out there trying to get a rise out of people. His attempt to compare Mullen to a “home warranty” didn’t make any sense, which is par for the course with him.

Anyone who objectively looks at our history, Dan’s success, and the impact a good football program has had on MSU/Starkville the last 9 years knows 6 mil, in today’s salary environment, is worth every penny.

Oh... Jake is a Meat...

 

[biguglyjoe]

Why anyone listens to any person that has zero experience in administrative matters and/or coaching D1 football and gets worked up over their ill informed opinion is a mystery to me. I'm willing to bet most that say we are paying Mullen too much to keep him are the same people that were saying that he should go coach at Tennessee for 7 million. Do yourself a favor and listen to a Nickelback fan club podcast. It'll be more useful.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

Jake Wibmerly and Bo Bounds are typical Mississippi State "I want to be seen as objective so I can get invited to all the cool Ole Miss pot parties" kind of media.

I wish we had some homers like Richard Cross for Ole Miss.

 

[CoolDawg]

I just hope in his contract there is a huge penalty clause if he leaves MSU, so high that we don't have to go through this at the end of every season.

 

[FlotownDawg]

I’m hoping if he signs an extension with a hefty raise that will cool it on the Mullen to any other school in the country BS that comes around every single season. It’s got to be distracting for the players as they prepare for the Egg Bowl.

John went to college in New York. He's a state fan though 100%

 

[Irondawg]

The problem with losing the coach at a place like MSU is what it does to that recruiting class.

If Mullen left and we lost 3-4 of our top recruits it would be a huge blow

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

Jake goes for shock factor or controversial opinions a lot of the time. He just wants to be like Clay Travis. He wears on my nerves pretty quickly because he picks really silly hills to die on. A few of his strong opinions just don’t make sense.

Not to mention, this has to be the worst season in recent history to be looking for a new coach.
