all over LSU message boards.

The real question is: is it time to start the Mullen to LSU talk?

The Big 10 is a different animal. I keep wondering if that league will ever get back to the elite level, or has the corn-fed country boy athlete been completely surpassed for good. That's off subject.

I do hope in some way that Michigan makes a hire that creates some shake up in the SEC in some fashion. It's more fun that way.

It seems he's out to prove his job hopper status wrong, which is the ONLY reason I think Arkansas will be able to keep him for 6 or 7 years.

That's what their talent is built for. And offense wasn't their problem this year. But I think it's a done deal that they want a pro-style offense, which is going to take them another 2-3 years to get the talent in to run that offense well.

They haven't been relevant in over a decade, they can't pay any more than the SEC can, and they just fired a guy after 3 years when they handed him a bare cupboard and asked him to install an entirely new system. Call me crazy but there is no way I would jump into the pool of **** that is Michigan right now. It's the ultimate no-win situation.

that MSU fans will NOT have to worry about a Mullen to LSU situation - as in a 0% chance of happening. That's all that was said. Reading into that, you would have to think they know a little more about Mullen's contract that that average joe does **cough** non-compete clauses **cough**.

I think that the no compete clause can be beat in a right to work state. If you got the money for a lawyer. You have the right to feed you family.

If they want a spread then they should keep Rodriguez.

Rich Rod is NOT the reason Michigan is failing right now.

But even if they did want a spread that doesn't necessarily mean they should have kept Rodriguez. As head coach, he's responsible for more than just the offense.

I don't know, I guess I am just a Rich Rod fan. I think he was done wrong and hamstrung from the beginning. I do however think he got himself into this situation. But he's got a good, young team to build from.

are enforceable, even in right to work states (most states are, btw). Only way to beat them is if they are overlybroad in terms of time, or geographical area, etc. Certainly, an SEC school wanting to limit their coach from going to another SEC school in direct competition would be enforceable. Just not forever.

The reality is that most schools don't push these types of issues, because it would make it hard for them to get other coaches if they get the reputation as forcing their coaches to stay, or severely limiting their options. That being said, I think that most coaches and schools respect the inner conference limitations.

The argument of course, is like any other business. Mullen, for example, would have too much inside knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of the players, coaches left behind, and their schemes which could be used against them in conference play. That's why a limitation of say 4 years would not be overly broad, b/c by then most players would be gone, thus no more advantage.
