What I've learned from the interwebs....

[Lone Star Hoopcoach]

is that there exists some incredibly out of touch, delusional life forms that couldn't find their *** with both hands.

Fire the most prolific, most successful coach in the history of our school?

You are out of your 17'n mind.

Dan Mullen pulled this program out of a massive dumpster fire and for the last six years has made it relevant.

No doubt, this year sucks, and it sucks mightily. Not one living soul outside of the mississippi camp is rejoicing in our misery.

Here is the point that some of you are missing, based on what Mullen has demonstrated he is capable of, we have better days ahead and soon because this hole is nowhere as deep as he originally inherited.

Stop embarrassing yourselves....

 

[Nugdawg]

Amen!

 

[bbqbully]

Oh hell no! We've got to fire the most successful coach we've had in 75 years so we can hire a no name assistant from some mediocre P5 school and set our program back 10 years. Oh... wait... we did that already. How'd Rick Ray turn out for us?

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

We fire Mullen

And I'm probably going to move to Canada...

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

So do we have the right to only offer him an extension at the same pay if he guarantees not to job hunt during recruiting season?? Hmmmmm

I think you should go protest in front of Scott Field unless you like really cold weather.

There is something wrong with Dan and our defense.
Are we not on our 7th DC in 9 years.
This is not normal for a successful HC and football program.
Changes need to be made and that starts at the Top. Dan needs to look in the mirror.

Texas > state
Florida > state
Miami > state

It's not so much us as it is him. He doesn't give a **** anymore. He is still here because he can't find anywhere else to go.

We are having a down year. This happens to everyone, with the exception of Nick Saban, at some point. It does not mean something is wrong with Mullen and the program. Some of you guys are searching too hard for something to be wrong when the answer is simply it's a down year. It should be understandable to have this down year. I mean look at what we lost. If the NFL voted on an MVP today, our former QB would be in the top 3, if not win it.

And the DC situation, he's had 3 leave for higher profile jobs. That is not on Dan. He made bad choices with the other 3.
I know you guys will counter with "well to guys think we are just poor ole Mississippi state" but that's not it at all. I feel like Dan is the best coach for us. If you can't see what he's got building with Fitz then you're just not paying attention.

Blah blah blah....Dan Mullen is not catching one bit of heat he didn`t bring on himself. The truth of the matter is Mullen, for whatever reason, became distracted from or disenchanted with his job. He started exploring other opportunities and his recruiting slipped. He hired this last DC simply because he had to fill the vacancy with a warm body, which is exactly what he did.

We all know what Mullen is capable of but what the hell good is that if he quits performing his job. That`s what has people pissed. Also we all remember the last "most successful coach in the history of our school" Jackie Sherrill and how his tenure ended. The thing you`re leaving out here is that people are not robots...they change. Dan has changed (at least temporarily) and the question is where does HE want to go from here.

And one more thing. If Dan had been working hard on ALL aspects of the program we wouldn`t be caught with a total void in our kicking game right now and our record would probably be 6-5 and all would be well. Again Dan is reaping what he has done to himself and the program.

I think losing dak was a huge deal. Look at auburn after cam left... 14-0 to 7-5 (bowl win to get 8). Look at Florida after tebow left... 13-1 to 7-5 (bowl win to get 8). I particularly like looking at urban. He's an elite HC that fell off extremely hard after losing tebow. Florida fans then freaked out and started calling for a pro style offense. I believe Florida's dumb fans led to urban's "health" problems. You think Florida fans wish they had just let a down year go now?

Found one of the idiots for you.

How could have Dan predicted that Graves, one of the most accurate kickers last year in the league, get injuried in the summer and struggle all year? And before you say the back up should be better, no team carries two good place kickers. Bama has struggled with kickers. It has cost us but that is a unique position that normally doesn't have injury issues.

"Texas > State" Historically, yes. Last 7 yrs I'll take our run

This is the problem! Yes I agree he shouldn't be fired for one bad season. But it really looks like he doesn't give two 17's about being here. He got fired up for the USCe game but after that it was back to same ole Dan. I think after the Miami job fell through he just said 17 it, I'm going to get paid a lot of money. I'll find a good job later at $2-3M per year and be happy.
