MM is a dull, dorky, boring and uninteresting recruiter. His motivational speeches are painful to listen to because they sound contrived and scripted. Our recruiting class is about the same as CSU's....who have/will probably lose a QB offered by Ohio State. Going to be a LOOONG and PAINFUL offseason.
There is no such thing as commitment is college football. AD not committed to coachs (except pay outs), coachs are not committed to schools or players, and players not committed to schools.Here’s a question - since when is it okay to RENEG on a commitment?! Why even call it a commitment if you can just change your mind whenever? Just seems stupid and a bit of an indication of weak integrity. Decide, commit, follow through. It’s not like these kids are “decommitting” because they just found out the program is getting cut for title IX reasons (e.g. Boston U) or something.....we lost another game or two. That happens. Some kid out there really wants to claim if we had just won that Utah game he would’ve honored his commitment?

Outside the top 30 all recruiting classes are the same...or so I'm told.Does CSU have a top 50 class as of now? I get the dissatisfaction with MM and where the program is but stop with the ridiculous comparisons. You do not need to manufacture artificial drama to be upset with where we are.
Yeah, I honor commitments. But that’s just me.Here’s a question: would you honor a commitment to a football coach who flew to Mississippi for an interview at a different school during the bye week before a game that would decide bowl eligibility?
I’ll hang up and listen off the air.
Is this a hypothetical question? Or did you actually hear he interviewed in person during the bye week?Here’s a question: would you honor a commitment to a football coach who flew to Mississippi for an interview at a different school during the bye week before a game that would decide bowl eligibility?

Link?More than one report posted on this site has suggested that HCMM went to interview for the Ole Piss job during the bye week.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t entirely fault folks for having concerns, even enough to change their minds about attending an institution. Maybe the terminology should change, because it’s making the concept of a “commitment” seem trivial and worthless.

I get that some places SUGGESTED he interviewed, but everyone needs to stop spinning the narrative that we lost the recruits solely because of this. I'm ready to get rid of Mac too, but if you blame him "interviewing" for Ole Miss and losing us recruits based off hearsay, that's the same mentality as the Tennessee fan base with Schiano and the hearsay. Albeit a much less drastic accusation but the same type of thing.
Well I agree with you there. It's a major decision. I just don't think we can use the Mac interview as a reasoning unless either Mac or Ole Miss come out and say he interviewed which we all know will never happen.I get it. HCMM’s interest in mississippi was pure speculation. He hasn’t been outspoken about his disinterest in other job opportunities. The point remains the same: coaches are not terribly loyal to their current programs when better opportunities may suit them. Players get very few chances to pick the right fit. If they want to move on, I don’t blame them.

Have we addressed whether "affect" or "effect" would have been the proper grammatical usage for the thread title?
