He'd still have to play Bama every year.

However Dan is still very welcome. I've also heard him say he doesn't see himself coaching too far into his 50's.
If he leaves, it will have to be for the perfect job in his mind for him and his family. I just don't see Tennessee being it
Not only did Mississippi State embarrass LSU on this night. Davis Wade Stadium wrecked Tiger Stadium in music choice, atmosphere and, most of all, volume.

Tennessee WAS a top tier program. 3 bad hires has ended that. Look at the changes in the college landscape since Fat Phil was fired in 2008 - too much competition in their backyard that wasn?t there before. Yeah, they have a big stadium - but for a ?top tier? program, they are 56-52 since Dan Mullen became our HC. It?s a step down and a rebuild.
-
Dan ain't leaving. At TN you gotta beat Bama every once in a while and now maybe Ga too. He'll never beat Saban and would not beat Smart very often either.
-
Tn is like the Landfish, history is long gone where as Msu with DM is making history.
Also, not sure the Sec likes what Paul wishes for. Coaches have left Sec schools for another but it's more of a rarity.

You hold your nuts so hard on Dan Mullen and the miss state football team, they have to be the size of BBs.

If the Hogs run off Big BB, they will make a run at Malzahn for sure, and he would be likely to take it

Whatever dude. Dan would be a fool to leave MSU for TN. Much higher pressure and expectations there.

A football head coach in the SEC hasn't been poached from another SEC school since 1999. Stop with the bullshit already. Tired of the insecurities.

I think their are several pro/cons for either school...
Pros of UT:
1. Bigger fanbase and support, facilities, more resources, $, etc....
2. (all things equal) Better recruiting classes.
3. (for the time being) Easier scheduling due to the SECE sucking hind teat.
4. Slightly more exposure (but this is probably negligible with SECN).
Cons of UT:
1. Completely batshit nuts fans with unrealistic expectations for the current status of the program.
That being said, if Dan is smarter than he is arrogant, and if he has a good year this year (it's looking like he will), he'll use UT's interest to get a better compensation package, stay at MSU and not have to deal with that trainwreck...

Bulldawg28 said LSU and Bama. I don?t see it, but half way there. There was extreme criticism for picking both wins.

Fair assessment all the way around.

Dan isn't even on UT's top 6 wish list and that's not cause they don't want him it's cause they don't really think they can get him so they aren't spending anytime attempting to. Rumor is they already have their guy which means it isn't Mullen. Stop falling for the Finebaum troll.

Yep. Historically, TN is a better program, but not today.

I'd say so. He left one out tho. If Dan has to play Saban every year why would he go to a place where it is a requirement to sometimes do that in order to keep your job. He can stay at MSU forever and never beat Saban.

Correct. It isn?t a better program but it does have more resources
-
Why would the SEC allow their mouthpiece to create a coach controversy on the league network. Stop this shit commissioner.
-
Coach Mullen is probably not very high up on UT's list, right now...
Those cats are gonna swing for the fences on this next hire... They are gonna want to throw enough money at a "well known" head coach that has experience at programs they consider "bigtime"....
Some of the names floating around (in no particular order - sit down for this):
Gruden
Kelly
Kiffin (yes, Lane Kiffin)
Stoops (Bob)
Norvell
Mullin
