Would you consider the Mississippi schools "stepping stone" type jobs?

Over the past years, we've found that both of them have discovered (seemingly) very quality coaches that have already found consistent and really unprecedented success. But my question is, do they have enough notoriety at this point to be considered somewhere that can have a great coach that stays rather than using the program to gain a reputation for bigger and better endeavors?

The state of Mississippi had a great opportunity to change their football image this year and they couldn't cut it. Kinda sad really. They're probably asking "when is it gonna be OUR time?!" and the realistic answer is never.

Mullen and Freeze are both about to make 5 million a year, there's nothing stepping stone about that. Maybe a MAC or AAC job could be called stepping stone.

I'd consider them Skipping stones.
As in, don't set up shop there. Hardly has any coach used it as a stepping stone and instead found the MS schools to be very detrimental to his career.

Yes and I wouldn't say it as a slight.
its always been my opinion that certain schools should have the mentality of developing teams in 4 yr cycles, college obviously.

NO. For many coaches they are the last type job they will have. There is always a bigger fish but the next level up is the very elite like Bama, USC, Texas, ND, Michigan, Ohio State that very few coaches will get promoted to these few spots.

Yes.

Hugh Freeze turned down the Florida job to stay at Ole Piss.

No. The only SEC job that is truly stepping stone is Vandy.

No, obviously not. This off season is proving that.

No SEC job is really a stepping stone job.
Back to your regularly scheduled trolling.

Obviously.

In the past... Yes. Now, no. And everybody knows we're not stepping stones it just hurts for some to admit it. It's a new day boys.

From a Mississippi boy, the main problem for the Mississippi schools isn't at the college level, it's at the grade school level. Both Mississippis have the potential to be destination schools just like LSU or Bama. There's abundant local talent, and a strong cultural support for all things football. But the state's educational standards and promotion of academics at the grade school level are so fricked up that a considerable portion of that talent falls to the wayside before ever qualifying for college. Until the nabobs in Jackson start caring more about real issues than about populist social drivel and lining their own pockets, the Mississippi schools will remain stepping stones.
