football with all the other things that will be going on there for the immediate future. It simply ain't the job it was a month or so ago. I don't think Mullen is dumb.

I think that's some crazy thinking by someone with MSU blinders on. If there's ever a time to take over its now. There is no more legend of JoePa. The new coach gets a completely clean slate in the athletic department. He can do what he wants with his hires and will have no good ol boy network looking on commanding him to do everything like JoePa did.

If Mullen gets the job, he can live by the prophecy of Ezekiel 25:17..."the path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.". In other words, Dan can be one mushroom cloud laying mother 17er and blow the crap out of that program and start running it his way.

Penn State is not a good place to be right now. Everything you said he could do, he can do in Starkville. If you think Mullen doesn't absolutely run the football program ( doing whatever he wants) you're nuts.

With good crisis management, this whole Sandusky crap will be forgotten in less than a year. Mullen and the PSU marketing team can start a "clean slate" campaign and come out looking like heroes. PSU will promote the hell out of a regime change and the public and media will eat it up.<div>
</div><div>Hell, it already feels like the Miami stuff happened eons ago. And now, no one really talks about it. The PSU situation will be no different. If itwasn'tfor the Irving Meyers hire, there would be very little discussion on the OSU front as well.</div>

given his lack of recruiting success here. Either he`s figured it out himself or his agent or his familyor somebody has tohave told him unless he`s willing to get his hands dirty recruiting at MSU the odds of him succeding are very slim. He has a window of opportunity that he may not see again for a long time. If I`m him.....I`m gone if they offer. </p>

your opinion and I'm entitled to mine. It's a damn mess up there that will not be separated from the football team in the immediate future..it is the worst scandal in the history of college football and millions of dollars will be involved not to mention continual litigation for literally years.

I agree there will belitigationfor years, but that's a civil issue. It's not like the NCAA is going to hit PSU for lack of institutional control. After this upcoming year, I really don't see this debacle having any effect on PSU football. It might in the minds of the liberal media, but I don't think a football recruit in west PA will give a ****. <div>

if he leaves, aside from his family ties to PSU, it will be because of the cesspool that SEC recruiting has become. And it will stay that way as long as Slive is around keeping everyone in the SEC shielded from the NCAA. Urban Meyer basically said this in a round about way in his press conference yesterday about why he left the job at Florida.

may not have the stomach for it and if and or or when he leaves, that may be the main reason. If he can go to a big school that does not have the competition that is here in the state of Mississippi and get paid as much or more than he is now, he may be better off, and if he or his staff cannot recruit effectively, we would be better off. Having said that, I'm not convinced that he and his staff are not adequate recruiters, we'll have to wait and see what his class last year ends up doing for one thing. I like Mullen and want him to stay and succeed at State and would regret it if he left.
