I'd pay to watch that.Mullen is worth a million if he puts his boot in Nuss' and Nord's asses on the way out of town.

Dam it my poop emoji didn’t show up!!!!I initially didn’t LOVE the hire, I liked it....but he killed the PC and he knows what expectations are. I think he can provide the teams we all want. I just hope he doesn’t even have a face to face meeting with nuss and nord to fire them. He should text them “just start cleaning out your office” and end it with
He'd look the same if it were anyone else.SOS looks thrilled...
Nothing about this hire makes me excited, even his enthusiasm seems off to me. This talk about MSU being a joke school therefore giving excuses for his failures are off base. Have any of you been there? Their football facilities are better than ours. They are renovating their baseball stadium, at 45mill I think. The atmosphere in their football stadium is nutz on game day, cowbells, and loud as hell. MSU gets the same tv revenue that all SEC schools get. He could not get players to go there period, that’s why he has never won anything of significance. Why not reach out to Shane Matthews and ask him about that school. His daughter loves it, he has said countless times what a great school it is in all aspects. Mullen couldn’t get players to go there to win, how is he going to do it here to the level we expect? Prestige and past school success matters, but recruiting is all about sales, & we have been getting killed at it.
If you were a 4 or 5* recruite I’m sure you’d pick Starkville over bama, Auburn, uga, Florida, LSwho, fsu, Miami, Clemson, hell I could keep goingNothing about this hire makes me excited, even his enthusiasm seems off to me.

Yep.I'm resigned to the fact that he may very well be the best coach that wanted to come here.
fvkk I don't even like driving thru there. i try to plan my gas stops to avoid it.If you were a 4 or 5* recruite I’m sure you’d pick Starkville over bama, Auburn, uga, Florida, LSwho, fsu, Miami, Clemson, hell I could keep going
My point exactlyfvkk I don't even like driving thru there. i try to plan my gas stops to avoid it.
Nobody got players to go there. Just saying.Nothing about this hire makes me excited, even his enthusiasm seems off to me.

You must be high...these kids want to win too. Why do you think bama hast 5* 3 deep at every position???? They could go anywhere and play immediately. They chose to go to Alabama to get ringsIf a quicker path to get on the football field you are damn right I’d go. Don’t think for a second these kids don’t know the talent level at their positions. Mullen has been unable to convince some of those kids to change their minds.
100% correct. Clean houseAfter we lose some more.
I'm not exactly overwhelmed with this turn of events. But I can hear my dear departed Grandma's voice in my head, saying what she would always say when something didn't quite work out as expected..."It could be worse!" And I guess that's where I am right now, wait and see. I kinda had a feeling when Nebraska fired their HBC that Frost was most likely out of reach and this process would become more of a crap shoot than a lock.
For me personally, I think the key to making this thing work is that the first two details Mullen has to work out is assembling a good staff that can not only coach at a higher level than what we've experienced for at least these past three seasons, but who can also contribute to the second detail and that is salvaging a decent recruiting class. We'll see what shakes out pretty soon, I'm sure.
I think Mullen obviously comes in with some repair work as far as the fan base is concerned, given comments attributed to him and his missus, but he's got 7 million reasons to get it cleaned up (and I still can't conceive that figure in this situation BTW). I don't expect him to fall prostrate at a press conference confessing his sins (nor would I expect him to do so), but I think the onus is clearly on him to come in and start winning and what he can do with the recruits is again a first big test. He's not lauded as a great recruiter, but a good staff can help to offset that if it is so. A little bird told me that he is already planning in-home visits with many of the commits, so I have to take that as a positive.
A poll in one of the recent threads had me answer, concerning this hire, that "anything was better than 'Butters and Nuss!'" so that's all I've got for now. Come in and win. That's what I want. I'll be watching carefully (and maybe dreaming about what might have been!).
