re: Mississippi State has no business firing a coach after two years

There's absolutely nothing dumb about it. Ole Miss made a recognizable hire who has success under his belt now and MSU was trending down under Moorhead. It might not be THE only reason but it certainly could have been the straw to break the camel's back.

This has turned into theories by junior high girls.

Look we get it, you dont want what Ole Miss does to be any reason MSU does anything, but to any plain observer the moves Ole Miss made were very impactful on speeding up the exit of moorhead at MSU. It seems highly highly doubtful Moorhead is out right now with Luke still at Ole Miss. You generally dont just fire a coach after 2 seasons who did at least somewhat decent. Morris is a different story winning 4 games in 2 years. Moorhead still got state to 2 bowl games which is about what you would expect from state's average years really.

With Luke still at OM he probably gets 1 more year to right the ship if he can. The fact is with no real momentum and Ole Miss across the state gaining a ton of it, a move was kind of forced ahead of schedule.

I'm curious if State will release all the recruits from their LOI's.

We've seen in past where when certain position coaches get pulled after a kid signs, that it pretty much gives them a free pass to leave. I want to say same thing happened just recently, although I can't recall the team.

Pretty bad form to wait until after signing day and then fire the head coach.

They forgot what they were before Mullen and expect every coach they get from now on to live up to their best coach ever. Hard precedent to set. I mean Mullen set the bar to high

This is gonna be a disaster. They have 21 signed letters of intent and I’m guessing they will all have the option of signing with another school in the late signing period. Kiffin and Pittman finna eat.

4th or 5th place in the West 8 of 9 years is such a high bar

They will hold them. All of the bigger names have already stated they are sticking with State.

Yeah that’s a good plan assuming y’all have someone hired by tomorrow. Also I’m guessing all players currently on the roster will be eligible to transfer without sitting out a year.

Dean can pick up the phone and call whomever he pleases. That is how it works. Do you not remember Chris Jones talking to Hugh Freeze regularly even while playing at state? We all know it was about reminiscing about lap dances but a player can do as he chooses.

whether that is happening is a different story

I’m serious when I say that your thread is the lone proof I have that Miss St made the right move

You are the indisputable worst judge on this site. LOL
