TN fired Butch. 247 say they?re coming after Mullen.
Good luck to them. They will need it.
Mullen ain't leaving.
Mullen isn’t leaving a 10-11 win team next season for that cluster. They almost can’t affors Dan for what it would take to get him.
24/7 can suck my left nut until my right nut cums.Quote:

I cant imagine anyone leaving a team that will compete for the west next year for a absolute dumpster fire. Stranger things have happened but I consider Dan to be a very intelligent man. He said it last night he aint going anywhere. He came here to win a championship, Dan would go down as one of the greatest coaches in cfb history winning a championship somewhere people say it can?t be done. I think he lives for that. I also get the strange feeling Dans becoming one of us
This. I think he is becoming one of us and that Megan and Cannon already have...lol So, Hail Freakin State!Quote:

The Mississippi State University has a budget big enough, and an Athletic Director smart enough, to keep Dan here. We ain't "'po 'lil mitipi state" who can't pay their coaches anymore.
Very well said!Quote:

It's going to be an interesting coaching search season for sure this year.
I just spent about an hour reading a Mullen thread at Volnation.com, it was 65 pages. The vast majority of their posters felt like Mullen was not good enough for UT.
He's at or near the top of their list. This isn't new info. If he doesn't go there it won't be because of some slive rule that doesn't exist, it will be because he doesn't want it. Obviously, we have some anxious administrators, but we will be prepared either way. This won't be the last job that chases him and sooner or later he will bolt, just part of it. But ut isn't the job it once was for sure.

There is about the same chance of Mullen to Tenn as Belicheck, Walsh, and Jimmy Johnson.
Dang skippy.Quote:

Why do people say he will bolt sooner or later? It may happen and the chances of him doing that are higher than him staying until he retires. However I don?t remember Beamer bolting from VT for another job.Quote:

In general, I agree. People say that because it qualifies their opinion, because most people are so conditioned to think we can't have nice things at State.Quote:

Mullen and Cohen and Keenum are all on the same page, about everything.
Tennessee is not that perfect fit. Georgia, Florida State or Penn State are. I think he'd go to Notre Dame too.
Megan Hates Orange. She says, "It is butt ugly!"
Dan is no fool. He wants to keep his main squeeze happy and she likes Maroon and Golf in West Point. Neither are much of an option at TN.
This isn't a money thing for him. It has to do with finishing a project he started.
Slive rule
One of the reasons people say that Mullen will leave is because he's not from here. That insinuates this isn't home to him. My question is if this isn't home, what is? Dan Mullen is 45 years old. Between high school and Mississippi State he didn't live anywhere longer than four years. In his adult life Starkville is more of a home than anywhere he has lived. His kids are being raised here. His wife likes it here. I realize that he grew up in the northeast but if one of his main desires was to move back to that area he would have done it by now.
Coach Mullen may leave Mississippi State but if he does I think one of the struggles for him will be deciding to leave home.
I seriously don’t think he is leaving before he wins at least the West here. I’m not sure he will then either. Most of this “flirting” he has supposedly done in the past is a work of fiction from sources up the road. Why we insist on helping their creative process is a mystery to me.
In years past he may have left for a Penn State or Notre Dame, but at this point I think if he leaves it'll be for the NFL.
Folks need to hear his post game talk with Neil Price. He very much said "we" in Reference to himself and MSU. He said that he promised MSU a championship and he was going to deliver that. He very much sounded like a guy "at home" and very motivated to provide what he promised to his house.Quote:
