Miss State new coach/Dan Mullen heading to Miss State (merged)

[Tampavolz]

This puts some one else in the hunt for an OC unless the gators hire from within, do you think this hurts The Kiffinator on putting his staff together?

Don't think so, CLK is more pro oriented vs the run and shoot style. Maybe Urban will take it on himself, he certainly thinks very highly of himself!

He's already the best ST coach in football in addition to HC, might as well be OC too.

I agree with several of the other posts. I doubt this will hurt Kif's OC hire.

I give him 3 maybe 4 years before he's fired....he would have been a better hire for AU

Auburn didnt want him.

I don't know if Auburn really wants to try the spread again.

he'd prefer an unproven OC for a coach who gets the primary credit for the offense to a proven SEC head coach? this might be a great hire, it might be a bad one. either way it's a big roll of the dice. i would not be excited if i was a MSU fan. speaks of desperation.

Pot meet kettle.....desperation is hiring a fired NFL coach with a career coaching record of 5-15 in regards to resurrecting a program on his and/or his father's namesake. His only other crowning achievement is being co-OC on a team loaded with talent. CPF could have done the same with that talent. Give me a break.....:birgits_giggle:

Yeah, droski, Jeff Tedford was a desperate hire, you hypocrite.

 

[tidwell]

paging Spencer Tillman...

:lol:

First thing I thought of, too. Freaking priceless.

Wrong team. Try to keep up.

Knock it off, I was making fun of the Gator.

So, a Cal fan comments on the Mississippi State coaching situation, and this prompts you to take a shot at Tennessee?

A simple "beep, beep" would have done

Sorry if already posted.



Florida's Dan Mullen to be new Mississippi State coach - NCAA Football - Bowls - 2008 - SI.com

 

[Sudeepvol]

So, anyone think this will effect Tebow's decision to leave?

 

[jakez4ut]

good hire for MSU. definitely breaks the mold of the type of coach they've had in the past........new direction for sure.

though i'm not sure Dan has actually been to Starkville.......he had to do this all over the phone........

 

[tidwell]

That was apparently taken at the Starkville airport.

Miss. St. is a tough job, no doubt. The best I can see coming from it, is a situation where he overachieves and immediately takes a better job. No one is going to be able to make a long run at State and come out with good job offers.
