Alan Haller

Obviously, the presidential situation led to that, but I don't also know what was in J-Bat's head about what he thought Michigan State could be.

And they weren't able to do it under Alan Haller.

And some of that was on Haller.

But it's a lot of freaking money, man.

Jason, please play Peacock and Big Ten Plus' ass over and over in a loop.

Bonus, there was a memorial service at Jenison Fieldhouse for MSU track and field great Jim Bibbs.

Alan Haller was there.

Tell us, Graham, did Haller receive a standing ovation when he walked in or did folks sit on their hands? The next Musk Ox promo code should be sit on my hands.

Can't you be both a little bit cutthroat and be like a bureaucrat kind of guy? You just have to be one way.

The best case scenario is that Bartholomew is the best of Alan Haller and

J-Bat combined.

Don't mention Alan

Apathetic in Fort Myers.

How we got here? I personally go back to February 2020.

Joel Ferguson and Alan Haller rescinding Luke Fickle's handshake job offer to succeed D'Antonio.

There were some other, yeah, I've heard the Fickle story.

And bonus,

if Alan Haller ever has the nerve to make a public appearance, he should be arrested and tried as a war criminal.

Good riddance.

Good grief.

If they weren't, we wouldn't be seeing this product on the field.

No, I mean, they were spiteful to some degree.

We joke about Alan Haller here, but Alan Haller wanted desperately to help fund that football program and struggled to connect with certain donors.

Some of that was on him, but there was also some stuff there that other people have to live with.

You know, you go back to Mark Hollis and The way that ended.

And then Alan Haller coming in.

And that looked like it checked a lot of boxes.

And that led to Jonathan Smith.

But, um, but you can certainly argue today if you would, had just done that, given all the turmoil, and Mike Trussell was the head coach, they probably would be better off.

DFW Spartan, "Graham, a few weeks ago you mentioned how Alan Haller blew off key boosters early in the NIL era with a we're all good attitude.

Between that and if it's true Urban had interest in the MSU job, then the Haller frustration is warranted because of his hubris."

Uh, okay.

He-

That's for Alan Haller

... here's why I think he, he qualifies under this, uh, more than most people.

One, he is somebody who's had an interest in MSU's program since he left.

He has been somebody who they've reached out to.

Like, I mean, uh, Mark Dantonio is part of his lineage.

Um, you know, uh, when Alan Haller called him when they were looking for...

Now, he did recommend Mel Tucker, for whatever that's worth.
