Ouch! Harsh. But true.

I have a good friend who is dating a woman who looks a lot like her, but I've never mentioned the resemblance because if he Googled her he might want to fight me for saying that.

I think I probably already posted this way back but Kendall Briles might be a good choice. I feel like i am trying way harder on this search so far than the athletic department. Briles is young with SEC experience and a good scheme imo.
Virginia Tech is already looking at Clemson OC Tony Elliott. He would be on my acceptable list. We will be behind these other schools because we choose to start our searches late. Its mind numbingly dumb.

Has anyone ever read the story of how the Mullinzes met? It is about what you'd expect.

Megan was a small-time sports reporter working in Ohio when Dan saw her on the sideline at Bowling Green. He found out her name and email address, and started stalking her.

To be fair, Stalking Dan would dispute that characterization. In fact he specifically denied being a stalker, in his second email to her. Twice.

From 247Sports:

Coach Mullen asked if she would have lunch with him. Megan never responded. A second e-mail came along.

"Listen, I am not a stalker," Mullen wrote. "I'm just a quarterback coach with Bowling Green State University. You cover our team, and I have seen you at practice. I would like to take you out to lunch. Again, I'm not a stalker. I just want to take you to lunch. At least have the common courtesy to reply to this e-mail. It would be RUDE not to."

Megan shared how 'RUDE' was spelled in capital letters. She kept thinking to herself, "Who is this guy?"

Megan still ignored him until one day when she walked into a staff meeting. The news director would screen all working staff's e-mails. He came out one day reading the e-mail out loud in front of everyone. He was saying, "He is not a stalker. This is his second e-mail. Can you just go have lunch with the guy?"

Megan responded, "Nope, can't do it. I am already seeing someone else." Then he said, "Nope, you have to do it because it will be bad business not to."

Megan continued to say, "No. I can't." The news director continued to say, "Just do it. Just go have lunch with this guy. It will be a nice thing to do."

"I called Dan Mullen and realized we had enough in common that we could get through a lunch," Megan said. "So I said, 'you know what, if you want to do lunch sometime this week or next week I will be happy to.'"

Dan Mullen said, "No. That's OK. We will just have dinner tonight instead."

She thought, "Who is this guy? I've given him a lunch, and he's taking a dinner. Like what in the world, the arrogance of this guy.

"So I went to dinner that night, but didn't brush my hair, and I didn't care. I just wanted it to kind of be over with, but I got there first and when I heard the person walk in behind me I turned around and that was the first time in my life that anybody had taken my breath away.

"I just knew it. It was him. That was the start of Dan. Dan has always said that he is a good recruiter, and that he recruited me. And you know what, he totally did."

So, Dashing Dan took her breath away. It would be hard to believe, if it wasn't impossible to believe.

As she reflects back upon her life now, and recalls all the people she has known, I bet there is no one she despises more than that Fuchsing news director.

After reading this, Edgar Thompson should open the next presser with the question: “Dan, where are the bodies buried?”

serious game there.

I AM NOT A STALKER.

How about just talking to her at the damn field, you freak.

The irony of this is that he sent this same email, verbatim, to @ltraz old lady, he just changed his job title.

...and again, for those keeping score at home, that's the same record SOS ended with at Duke the year before we hired him.

If you can't appreciate the accomplishment of SOS winning a conference championship at Duke...in football (which you don't), then you certainly don't see that you're losing the argument

The twitter post of this got deleted by the UF twitter account, apparently there were some 'not so nice' comments. lol

In this case "the argument" against hiring Kiffin was that he might end the season 8-4 this year. It is not "losing the argument" to point out that SOS had the same record the year before we hired him.

The point of that response is not to say that Kiffin is comparable to SOS. It's just to say that ending the season 8-4 shouldn't necessarily disqualify Kiffin from consideration.

Not to mention, it will probably be more like 9-3 or even 10-2 than 8-4.

If you really want to break them down by opponents, Ole Miss going 10-2, 9-3 or even 8-4 with a 2021 SEC schedule is arguably just as impressive (if not more so) than when Duke went 8-4 with a 1989 ACC schedule.

The only ranked team Duke beat that year was #7 Clemson, which was not the Clemson we think of today. Duke lost to #17 Tennessee and #24 Texas Tech in non-conference games. So they were 1-2 vs. ranked opponents. Ole Miss is 2-1. :dunno:

All this doesn't "win the argument" that we should hire Kiffin. It just means that, "he'll end the season 8-4" is not a winning argument against it.

G. Gordon Gator · Nov 17, 2021

* Oops, my bad, Ole Miss is 2-2 against ranked opponents. I forgot about Auburn.

But if the Pirate keeps that #25 ranking clenched in his teeth, Kiffin may end up 3-2 vs. Top 25 teams. With a bowl win, 4-2? I'm sure Ox is predicting 2-4 lol

I have to laugh at the insinuation that Kiffin is a laughable idea because there are so many 12-1 available coaches out there.

The idea that Kiffin is a laughable idea is a laughable idea. The consensus of all these articles about the coaching carousel is that he's the hottest commodity out there who is (probably) open to moving.

Time for the Sensitive Sallies on this site to get over the fact that Kiffin trolled us one time, 12 years ago. He didn't even beat us! But these softies can't get past their hurt feewings because he said mean things about Corch Irvin Meyers. :weep:

Haven't we tried this Mississippi experiment once already? I would sat Beware. Maybe Kiffen has finally matured, maybe he's not such a snowflake anymore and maybe he can put a strong defense on the field to go with his offense. Then the question becomes, How soon will it be before he gets another wild hair up his yengyang and moves to another perceived greener pasture?

The fear is always how well the work elsewhere will translate here. Yeah, he’s a goofball and he’s made questionable decisions in the past. There’s always going to be something to nitpick. But he recruits well and we’re smack dab in the middle of a recruiting hotbed. Couple that with the obvious ability to coach offense — Ole Miss is racking up big numbers — and I think you have to consider the guy. At the very least, he’ll be entertaining as f*ck.

Again, he needs to bring defensive help and the willingness to put a lot of priority on it.
