    I’m sure its a personality thing. Some people need a new environment, some people don’t. Saying ALL coaches get burnt out after x number of years is an over generalization. I feel like Dan might have been burned out for a few seasons around years 6-8, he didn’t seem to be this season though. So who knows.

    We have been a revolving door for most of our history. We need stability more than anything. We know Mullen is a good coach HERE. We don't know that about any other guy out there you can say that about.

    This is my arguement, we shouldn’t roll the dice on a new coach at this point in time with the opportunity we have over the next few years. Last night sucked, but it was not on Mullen like its been in years past.

    So with the early signing period looming and a coach having to be in place like tomorrow, and a contract in place to look over, their AD was just to busy to catch a plane? Or could it be that Mullen and Grantham already agreed to an extension before all this got out? I ain’t knocking you or the 247 crew. But if a contract was ready to be signed logistics didn’t cause the meeting to be canceled.

    And i trust my source at Tennessee 100%. They gonna have to miss on a few for Dan to get an offer.

    That’s the last thing I am gonna say about all this. But as much as you wanna believe your sources are right. I know for a fact mine at UT is right. I never said he couldn’t end up there. I am saying he isn’t their top pick and neither was Gruden

    Why some ppl don?t understand this is how Sexton (and all agents) get their clients paid is beyond me. Get an offer in writing to get market value then show it to who you?re negotiating with to get higher pay.

    This does not mean ?cold feet?.

    Agree. There are certainly faults that Mullen has that I think are keeping him from being a great or elite coach, he is certainly a good coach for us, has the relationships with MS HS coaches and knows our lay of the land. You have to start over with all of that with a new coach. Those kind of things are probably more important in a rural state like MS than it would if you are talking about a coaching job in a more populous state.

    Well, if you had just reported that Dan was listening to TN like Rosebowl you would not have caught all of the blow back. You reported it initially like it was a done deal when it never was.

    Burn out only seems to be a problem when teams are losing or the fan base is bat shite crazy.

    So the only logical explanation is dan's side cancelled the meeting? Bc it makes no sense that tn had its guy, prepared the contract, and then changed its mind. Good for dan.

    I said history 34. It didnt start 27 years ago. We were stable under McKeen, sort of under Jackie, and now. That's it.

    I live in Chattanooga and am surrounded by UT fans and media. This is exactly what I have been hearing for the last week to 10 days. In fact, Mullen is far down on the list. He is the "bottom of the barrel" so to speak. They want to make a splash, and Dan is about as small of a splash that they feel they can stand.

    There's been a lot of wasted angst on this topic.
