[DogStuckAtUM.sixpack]

If Oregon fires Helfrich, Mullen is on the short list.

And if Mullen leaves AND Charlie Strong is fired by Texas, Strong could find a landing spot in Starkville.

All I want to know is when are we ****-canning Hevesy?***

Link.

 

[xxxWalkTheDawg]

Right on time to begin affecting recruiting. And cue Mullen to neither deny or confirm he would take any jobs till next spring.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Wait, do we still want Mullen gone?

 

[Spidey.sixpack]

I think that would be a good fit and appealing job for Mullen.

I'll never understand why this is such a big deal to some of you. Who cares if he says he's not interested? Nick Saban said he was not leaving Miami. Where is he now? Even if Mullen comes out and says I'm going no where, other schools are still going to recruit by saying he's leaving.

 

[tatedog]

Stopped reading at "has had a knack for hiring solid defensive assistants."

 

[FlotownDawg]

Ross Bjork has been mentioned for the Texas AD job???

Is this real life? Who mentioned him? Bjork himself? I can't imagine Texas would want an AD with three different sports put on probation under his watch.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Strong would have to find a way to innovate on offense. I would like the idea of a defensive guy grooming the type of talent that is readily available in Mississippi, but again, how would you compete in the SEC West without some semblance of offense? You can't just line up and do what Alabama and LSU are doing.

Because the recruits ask the same thing. If you add to the confusion.... well... you get signing day 2016.

Yup, right on time & it's one of the worst things about college sports.

How can a 2nd tier program ever rise up if they can't keep coaches or have recruiting affected every single year by rumors of the coach leaving.

How does MSU fix this with Mullen or the next coach?

Could Mullen be Knight's 10 million dollar a year man? I doubt it very seriously.

 

[tatedog]

If Mullen follows up the last two seasons with something respectable this year, I'd buy it. As things sit, Oregon fans would absolutely freak out at this hire.

Defensive guy wouldn't work at MSU. Must have an offensive coach.

I've watched enough awful offenses at Florida, Tennessee, South Carolina, Vandy, Texas, etc to realize we take for granted being able to move the football against most teams.

I want no part of a defensive coach that can't develop QBs. I believe wanting a defensive coach is being unappreciative of our current situation

 

[FlotownDawg]

Texas' offense is really good this year. Unfortunately their defense isn't very good. Just the opposite of last year. Strong took over defensive play calling duties a few weeks ago and there has been improvement.

 

[was21]

It may be because some folk have an inferiority complex about how Starkvegas continually gets rapped, and they want him to say he "loves it." I agree, it doesn't matter if he says it or not and he has a right to keep his options open. I don't want him to take another job, but if he does, it's best for him and State if he'd rather be somewhere else...just the way it is

 

[was21]

I don't get it. He's probably going to be fired. There's a reason why he would be fired. Why would we want him

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Sweeping November would get him the job, but I have a better chance of being elected president tomorrow.

 

[tatedog]

If Mullen sweeps November, he should be president.

 

[aTotal360]

Chip Kelly might be looking for work.

 

[Dawg1976]

If Mullen ends up pulling a rabbit out of the hat(head already out), he may very well get plucked this year. AZ is also a possibility. Some will say Bryne won't steal from his old employer. But Keenum might give him his blessing on the deal.

 

[TheStateUofMS]

Dan Mullen would NOT take the Arizona job

If Mullen ends up pulling a rabbit out of the hat(head already out), he may very well get plucked this year. AZ is also a possibility. Some will say Bryne won't steal from his old employer. But Keenum might give him his blessing on the deal.

If he goes out West, it's either for USC, Oregon, UCLA, Texas maybe Stanford...if it's not those, he'll hold out for Penn St, Ohio St, Michigan and maybe Nebraska, although I'm not sure Nebraska is really a better job.

 

[Dawg4ever49]

What a load of crap... Sounds like Dan will be staying and even if he left who would want Charlie Strong as a head coach. We've already suffered through one Charlie from Texas and that was enough.... period!!!

The only success wr ever had before mullen was due to being defensive minded.

Now i think you cannot exist on one or the other, defensive coaches can and have worked here.

 

[benatmsu]

There's another choice?

Sweeping November would get him the job, but I have a better chance of being elected president tomorrow.

Thank God.
I was beginning to worry.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Yes. Mullen's best teams have actually been built on great defense as well, and we faltered when the defense faltered (read: EGG AND ORANGE BOWLS)

I'd be pissed if we hired Strong (if Mullen left). Plus Mullen is making $1M more than Helfrich and $2M more than Rich Rod (referencing another post on this thread). I'd be shocked if either AZ or OR hired a coach with a 6-6 (at best) record and had to give him a huge raise.

 

[Xenomorph]

I'd vote for him if he sweeps Saturday.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Isn't it possible

Because the recruits ask the same thing.

that he tells the recruits, you know...when talking to them, the answer?

 

[was21]

Agree

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

Chip Kelley will be the next HC at Oregon.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Is Strong can`t succeed in the Big 12 at freaking Texas how in the world could he be expected to succeed in the SECw at MSU. That hire would make zero sense.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

I have it on good authority that Hevesy has a contract for life.
