Notre Dame would be a concern, but they would have to pay more than they currently do. For the Notre Dame job, watch how PJ Fleck does at Minnesota this year. I could see him being a good fit at Notre Dame because I think his personality would up their recruiting profile nationally.

The problem with Mullen is that, while he is an exceptional coach, it's difficult for most ADs to sell a 6-8 win coach from MSU as their programs savior & then pay that 6-8 win coach 4 mil +.
The run to #1 might convince some school to give him big money but never being close to beating Bama will probably prevent some schools from giving him enough to leave. He basically has built this program exactly how he has wanted it. He had the football complex built to his specifications. He probably actually needs 1 or 2 more 10 win seasons and maybe a win over Bama before big $$ comes calling. Even the run to #1, LSU, A&M, and AU didn't end up with great records. They had good seasons but ended up losing more games.
