What a stupid comment. If you think Stricklin doesn't have the guts to do something good for the program, explain the Rick Ray hire to me. Stricklin knew that he'd take all the flak from the national basketball media after he hired an assistant from mediocre Clemson. He knew that what's best for the program isn't necessarily making "the best hire" with someone who would go in and immediately find players in that dirty AAU circuit. Think that Mullen entirely made changes on the defensive side because HE was unhappy? Please. Scott Stricklin is the just the kind of man that I want running our program and he's the best guy for the job leading OUR STATE into the uncertain future of college sports, especially college football.
Chris Wilson quote from a Commercial Dispatch article today....
- Thread starter maroonmania
- Start date
BINGO. That is the point that is being lost by ToddForState, Saban is an ***, but he is uniformly an *** to everyone. Mullen has "his boys" Yankee retards who can't recruit (Maybe Collins can......we will see). That creates a division within the team and the players know it. ****** leadership strategy, likely not sustainable. And the coaches who can leave, leave...Brewster, Hudspeth, Diaz. The ****** ones get fired....add all that together and you get tremendous coaching turnover and lack of continuity. If we see more of the Croom-like stubborness with 190 lb Perkins up the middle so that Hevesy and Mullen can chest bump and talk of toughness, blowing people off the line, probabilities, establishing the run, blah, blah, blah...it can go very bad, very quickly. Maybe we insert Dak more to break our predictability, maybe we can then fire Les and blame him? That would get Mullen another year for sure. Our offense actually looked better with Hudspeth running it, but then we have screaming matches, Hud leaves. Now we have a yes man running only what Mullen calls, but Les is nothing but a well paid fall-guy, and unless Mullen snaps out of his control freak micromanaging funk, we should expect more of the same. Why not hire the offensive coordinator of someone like Troy, who almost beat our ***? I think we need more screaming matches between Mullen and an innovative/active offensive coordinator, because (Mullen80%+Les20%) just isn't getting it done.
Must also comment that I hope Koldfire, myself and others are completely wrong about this. I appreciate what Mullen has done to this point, but that doesn't mean that he is beyond criticism and improvement. I hope he grows as a coach and person. That is difficult and is rarely the case.
We've only had one DC leave, and it was for a similar position at Texas. Torbush was not good, neither was Wilson. They left before they were fired. Dan may or may not need to adjust how he handles assistants (I have no clue), but the only thing that having 4 DC's in five years tells me is either (a) Dan can't judge talent for coachign on the defensive side of the ball and/or (b) the salaries we offer won't allow Dan to hire the people he really wants.
The results will be similar if not worse next year. He has officially...
run out of Croom's players, and he is an assclown. Some of you are already realizing that. It's just like Ole Miss with Nutt. He had some good players and still had a modicum of football coaching ability. He worked hard for one and a half seasons. Then the wheels started falling off, but we didn't see that he was a marginal recruiter and a lazy disciplinarian. By year three he had completely mailed it in, and year four the Emperor didn't have a stitch on him.
Your coach has some pretty bad interpersonal deficiencies, but he was your ******* at the time and he beat us. Now the worm has turned fast, and much faster than Ole Miss expected. If you win five games next year, it will be an accomplishment. Some of you started seeing it this year during the losing streak, some of you even before that. By this time next year, I will be surprised if Dan Mullen is still in Starkville.

So to sum it up
1. Chris Wilson elevated himself to the level of DC at State, a job any of us would kill to have.
2. Chris Wilson didn't pull his weight/couldn't coach as a DC
3. Mullen stayed in his ***(what would happen to any of us if we weren't pulling our weight)
4. Chris Wilson got ********
5. Chris Wilson leaves and is talking smack about us now
.....does that cover it?

We have got to have the dumbest fan base in America...
"Dan Mullen and his 17 tard northerners can't recruit." We have landed our 2nd straight top 25 recruiting class.
"Dan Mullen runs off good coaches" Brewster left for FSU and Diaz left for Texas. Hud left for a Head Coaching gig. The rest I could care less about because they didn't show me that they were worth a ****.
"Dan Mullen is running our program in the ground." Well **** 3 straight bowl games, please continue to run our program into the ground.
"Our offense sucks monkey dicks." We had a QB almost throw for 3000 yards and had another 1000 yard rusher.
Our DL play was atrocious last season. Wilson deserved to have his *** chewed in front of God and everyone. 3 man front against A&M was the dumbest move I've seen. Mullen definitely has his faults and I don't always agree with his decisions but some of y'all are being whiny bitches for a coach that has done as much has Mullen has done in his short time at Msu. I guess some of y'all want to spend more time with your family during bowl season and go back to the Croom years.
The fact of the matter is no matter how nice and kiss *** Mullen is to his coaches, we just aren't going to keep good assistant coaches at Msu. They will always leave for greener pastures and so would I. I liked Wilson and thought he was nice guy, but I was very disappointed in his product that he was putting on the DL.

You hope you're wrong?
Does that mean that you don't know you are right? Why would you even make such a comment or post if you didn't have first hand or at least reliable information that it were true? Where are you getting this stuff from?

Complete conjecture on my part from the many related posts on this board, watching Mullen the past several years, and paying attention to the coaching turnover. I have no inside source on the MSU team, nor have I ever played/coached, lets go ahead and get that out there for you. I could be right, or I could be wrong. I think I am right and hope that I am wrong. I also hope that doesn't confuse you. To qualify this, Resolved made a good comment in a post above/below suggesting that Mullen can be as big of a turd as he would like to be so long as he wins and puts forth the relentless effort we all heard about. It is when he loses, pouts, pops off at the coaches, playing favorites, causing constant turnover that hurts the team, that opens himself up for deserved criticism. I bet Dan Mullen could even handle that kind of criticism, he took ownership of dumbassed coaching decisions when they didn't work and we lost games. I respect that. The hard part is him changing his behavior to stop these issues. I hope he can. Kind of like appreciating and respecting all that Mullen has done for MSU but also hoping he matures as a coach/leader. Maybe that happens, maybe it doesn't we will see. To take this team to the next level, we need coaching consistency, offensive improvement, and consistent recruiting. My fingers are crossed.
According to Bill Walsh's book, he used to jump assistants asses rather than the players because he knew that the players were closer to them and often times would perform better because they didn't want to let their main assistant down.
Banks and other seniors butted heads with Wilson because his scheme sucked *** and limited the abilities of the defense severely. Interestingly, with Wilson's style of defense- guess who gets most of the sacks? The d-line. Coached by....Chris Wilson.
The real issue with Chris Wilson is he is a crappy defensive coordinator. That's why he was fired. That's why Dan chewed his *** out.
Does Dan treat the other assistants equally? Maybe not. But I'm not going to criticize him for making a right move. That would be like Tyler throwing three TD passes and then saying he should be benched for throwing one INT.
