Is Moo State just resigned to being a stepping stone, or is it a "We didn't want him anyway" thing?

MSU twitter is livid at Stricklin, not so much Mullen.

This. Stricklin should prolly never step foot in Starkville again. But that would be difficult considering who he's married to.

Meh. He had been here for 9 years and left the program in a much better spot than it was in before he got here. Wish him the best.

We get to make a new hire with world class facilities, a fat budget, and a loaded team.













Stricklin can eat shite though. His father in laws Jersey is retired in the hump, I hope we take it down and burn that bastard. Have to send a message.

I think the State fans that said Mullen would never leave are hiding and the others knew it would happen. Mullen is solid hire but not the guy most fans wanted . Hopefully Stricklin in right about Mullen. If Mullen turns out to be a top 5 coach then Stricklin did good . I feel bad for the State fans that didn’t have their heads up their rears .

Why did they let him go? Money talks, BS walks.

Sounds like Stricklin didn't go after DM until he expressed interest in the UT job. I don't think you can blame him. He has to do what's best for his current employer and he just hired a good coach out from under his division rivals.

What do you want MSU fans to do?

MSU is in a good spot to hire a young up and coming coach. Maybe go after Tee Martin if they believe in him. Or maybe Norvell or Mike MacIntyre.

I’m wondering if they’d go after someone like Sumlin.
This whole coaching carousel this year is damn interesting.

Meh, if Mullen had left us in shitty shape I would be pretty upset but we are a pretty attractive option for an up and coming coach.

Who knows...maybe someone young wins and decides to stay a while like Mullen did.

Jeremy Pruitt is the top target. Cohen will hire a hard arse type coach to go along with his ego.

Not really anything they can DO, buy just laying down and pretending it didn't happen looks weak. I'd at least expect some trash talking or something. The silence just seems like a prison punk taking what he's given.

I'm not being clear. Apologies.

What I'm referring to is the posters here, not the school itself.

On a personal level, this was a challenging situation because I’m proud of the job Dan did at MSU, my alma mater. However, as the Gators’ Athletic Director, my sole responsibility is to make decisions that are best for the University of Florida, and that is why Dan Mullen is our new head football coach.


That’s from Stricklin’s email announcing the hire. I don’t think he wanted to poach from MSU, but once Kelly turned them down he had to do it.

I don't see anybody laying down. I'm more excited about where we're going than where we've been. I think Mullen had hit his ceiling with us. The guy is good at what he is good at but he does have certain limitations.

There will be plenty of trash talking come September. Hopefully we bring in somebody who has no second thoughts about hanging 70 on UF if we get the chance to.
