but I think they don't like that Mullen doesn't do anything to help them do their jobs. They could give a **** about Mississippi State, they just want people to read. If they could break open some sort of scandal they would love it. So more than anything they want access. They want to see every practice and talk to every player. Sure, they would write articles about good stuff but there is not going to be some breakout article about how well Relf is doing in school. What gets these guys to the big time is exposing something like a relationship with a tattoo parlor owner who is giving them weed. I'm not blaming anyone, it's just the way it is.
The only thing I don't understand is the bitching about injuries. HIPPA is a bit fuzzy on this but if I were a coach there is no way I would discuss the health of my players. The only people who REALLY need to know that information is gamblers anyway so I don't understand why any coach would feel compelled to talk about it.
Mullen is candid about himself and how he feels about the team but he shares no information with meat to it and it drives these guys crazy. They did it to themselves though, even Ron Higgins knows that.
