and asks "who can we get to come to Miss State thats any better?"....enlighten them to this:

1. 80% of the people we would hire would be better than Crooms

2. Our job pays more than UCLA's (1.2 million) and The U (1.6 million)....we now have a very attractive compensation package with which to make a quality coaching hire- and that has never been the case before now. You can no longer bring up our history for the most part because now our compensation is in the top 1/3 of college football...our job is more attractive than ever before

I can't wait for our older non-competitve fans to die out. That is what will solve the problem.

See Starkville the town- old guard tried to keep it country and downhome, new guard bringing in business and making it into a decent college town.

We can afford a Top 20 coach. Let's get free and go get him, Greg.

As one of the "older" fans, I hope you die first.

about non-competitive fans. If you are non-competitive, you are part of the problem. Since you're here and haven't been banned, I'm guessing you don't fall into this category.

I had someone say this very thing Friday. I threw out that the job was one of the top 30 in the nation as far as pay. Person was speechless. So, blowing off half of every work day reading the SPS has its benefits.

Very few of your average fans realize how much higher SEC jobs pay.

I am competitive, but I really don't wish him to die. Just thought he was a little harsh in his assessment of us "older" fans.

I'm just gonna throw some names out their for debate on this.

Would a Mike Gundy(1.1 mill) leave OSU to come to State? Already in a BCS conference.

or what about a...

Chris Peterson(900k)?
Todd Graham(1.1 mill)?

I know I have said it before, but Todd Graham is going to be a big time HC, I hope Byrne would offer him when we get rid of Crxxms.

I do too. I made the comment last year about Ole Miss should hire him and for some reason it got deleted by thinking it was a bad attempt at humor. I think he'll hold out for a bigger BCS job than someone like State though.

ESPN & CBS made us RICH *****! PAC 10, WAC 10, BIG 10, <17>n' whatever, are all going to be proving grounds to be the next SEC headcoach. We will get first pick in 2010, (well maybe Tennessee in 09.)
SEC is now lil' NFL.
