Don't worry P.......Heish is safe. That 5-6 record might have convinced some Jags in power that he aint the one either. But I am sure he has his ears open to any possible interest.

Report: Rams won’t hire Mitchell

By Perryn KEys

Advocate sportswriter

February 28, 2012
0 Comments Stump Mitchell’s flirtation with the St. Louis Rams is apparently over.

Mitchell will not be the Rams’ next running backs coach, according to a report from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The newspaper, citing anonymous NFL sources, said that although the Rams have still not completed their coaching staff, Mitchell is out of the picture for the team’s running backs coach position.

Attempts to reach Mitchell late Monday night were unsuccessful.

Mitchell, who begins his third season at Southern, interviewed with Rams head coach Jeff Fisher last Monday.

Two days later, as spring practice began at SU, Mitchell’s long-term job status was still unclear. At the time, Mitchell said he’d like to coach at Southern “forever,” but also added that his career might start and end in St. Louis.

It’s still unclear whether Mitchell turned down a job offer, or if the team never made him an offer.

Should have taken the job. Now the mother boards at the churches will run him off the Bluff if he has another disappointing season.
 
It's always good to have a job when you're looking for another one. When he get ran off the Bluff, it will look like he went back to the NFL begging now.

He'll be fine. If he has a bad season he will get another job back in the NFL. He aint pressed. The only ones disappointed are the Stump haters and SU folks who want him gone like yesterday. Stump either gone win and get an extension or he gone lose and get a higher paying NFL job in 2013.

Now me, I would have took the job if they offered it. But dude is trying to do the right thing.

But JR, sometimes the right thing is actually the wrong thing, but just looks right in your eyes.

No it will not. LOL. Coaches do it all the time. The NFL don't give a fugg about SU or the SWAC. His connections will get him a job like they always have. Sly Croom didn't have to beg back to the NFL. They took him back. Same for Mike Sherman. He just got hired by the Dolphins to be the OC after getting fired by Texas A&M. Croom got hired by the Rams after Ms State fired him and now he just got hired by the J'ville Jaguars after his coach got canned in St. Louis. Once you been a long time NFL assistant you can usually get a job easily. Stump will just make a call to his old boss Mike Holmgren in Cleveland next year if he needs a job.

Wrong for who? Last week folks said it would be bad for SU if dude left this late in the year. Now it is wrong for him to stay. Yall need to make up your minds. LOL. You can't have it both ways. Stump is staying. He has one year left on his contract. It is simple. He wins 7-8 games he gets to stay most likely. If not then he goes on back to the NFL. In the meantime, he leaves SU with some eligible players after 3 years and a better situation for the next coach to walk into versus the mess he inherited. It is what it is. Maybe had he quit, the NFL might look at him as one who runs at the first chance when things get hot. Right now, I think Stump deserves his third year on his contract to prove if he can turn this thing around. If he doesn't, then he will have to move on. It's business and not personal. But I can appreciate his effort.

How so? You think an interim coach at SU was going to beat the great GSU? Surely you have more confidence in Doug than that.

I am shocked at you MB.
 



I think Stump really wants to do well at SU and is part of the reason why he is staying. I also believe that he thinks that if things don't work out at SU, he'd have no problem getting another job in the NFL.

Exactly. I think he is determine to try to do well at SU. Dude aint worried about none of those SU folks who want him out. He got more money than them broke want to be in power alums anyway. If we fire him we owe him 200K. He will get another NFL job at twice that amount. Dude is under no pressure. The pressure is own the powers that be to help dude win by giving him what he needs or they can sit on their arses while he tries on his own and then if he fails he can collect their money and bounce. If he wins, they will be faced with the question of whether they extend him or not. My personal opinion is even if he wins 9 or 10 games there will a bunch of folks still wanting him out anyway and I would not be shocked if SU still let him walk. You already know how fickle fans and alums can be. He wins in year three it will be deemed a fluke or a down year in the SWAC or the kids won in spite of him. Watch what I tell ya.

You are awfully patient with Stump...maybe you see something I'm not. Anyway, glad he stayed.

No, but it puts yall further behind in recruiting in EBR. Plus Melvin was just being Melvin so we ain't got them to contend with. We should do pretty good down this way.

Stump should be under pressure. There is no doubt that SU under-performed the last 2 years. And any improvement made in year 2 was minimal at best. There's not much difference between a 2 win team and 4 win team. Su would've been better off had he left. His overall record speaks for itself - you really expect him to suddenly morph into a winning coach?

It's being a realist. College Football fans and alums across the country done lost their damn minds on this overnight turnaround stuff or expectation that their school should win EVERY YEAR no matter what other schools do. Nobody has won every year. Even in the great SEC, they have had different winners. So that is why I am patient. Dude may never be a great Xs and Os guy. But the mess he inherited was worse than folks thought. It got sugar coated when it all reality it was bad even before Pete got fired. Not blaming just Pete. But everyone around the Athletic Dept who knew what was going on.

Anyway, dude got hired. He was not anyone's first choice outside of our former AD. But once he got a 3 year contract, we all needed to support dude and let him go to work for all 3 years. Well it is year 3. So he has to put up this year. I think that is fair. I like how he has handled himself despite all the naysayers and folks purposely trying to make sure he fail. Dude probably would be a better AD than coach no doubt. But he is SU's coach and he has not embarrassed my alma mater. Now he just has to win. If he can't, no hard feelings and he can move on after fulfilling his contract.

I look at Stump like Tommy Amaker was at Michigan for basketball. He improved the student athlete area and dug them out of probation to be better off than he inherited them. At the end of the day, he was not the guy to take them to the next level and they hired their current bball coach who got them back to being relevant in the Big 10. That's what I think Stump purpose is for us. Get us back off this APR train wreck and set up for the next guy IF he can't win in year 3. Too me that is a win win. Sometimes you have to bring in a set up man to right the program. Stump was that guy. That's the way I look at it. Now we all know WINS it what keeps you hired. So if he wants to move from being the set up man.........he better win this season.

Dude. You aint never under pressure when you can get a job better than the one you got. I will leave it at that. SU wouldn't have been better had he left. You don't know what is going on in BR to make a statement like that. All that would have done was make it worse. Dude has ONE. Let me say again, ONE season left on his contract. SU aint going be hurt no more by him staying ONE more season than it would have been if he left right now. At least the kids will have continuity next season with him staying. If you have to replace a coach, you want it to happen right after the season is over.
