Here we go again..........Now Mullen's name being mentioned for the UVA job, which

[Saltydog]

is not even open, yet........Va Tech is apparently Fuentes.......I can't see Maryland but UVA may be interesting.......Lotsa money.........

Scott better get the checkbook ready. Whether we like it or not, a lot of schools are probably trying to get in touch with Mullen.

He makes 4 mil now. Even upping him to 4.5 mil puts him in the top 8 in terms of coaching salaries. That just seems kind of ridiculous....

[Statecoachingblows**]

Somebody threw us a bone on the whole coaching situation. NOLA.com reporting Freeze is the guy for LSU, just keeping it hush hush until Sunday. Ok not really but at least it's not Dan on this article.

The checkbook doesn't matter- Mullen wants out of Sville- period.

Last year you said Natty or bust for Dan, what changed?

I don't know- but something has in a big way

It could be that he feels like if he couldn't get it done with Dak here, then he never will.

Is there some bad blood between him and Strick or him and the rest of the brass?

[Statecoachingblows**]

"Ifyouonlyknew" should never have come on here during a game smh***

we'll take a step back so he's going to strike while the iron is hot......

He's gotta put on a show to get the payroll he needs for his assistants. Billy and Manny in particular.

Someone asked if things had changed between him and Strick. Check the Arky highlight video.

Better hugs than my family reunions. And we're huggers.

[mstatefan91]

This fan base and the media have been 100% sure Dan was leaving after at least 3 of his 7 seasons here. I'll believe it when our athletic department announces it

NO!! He makes a great Salary and he has done nothing this year to warrant a raise. I don't want him gone. I hope he stays and think he will but if he wants more money he can find it somewhere else.

so opening the checkbook means 4.75-5MM per...Im willing to bet if Mullen leaves- he wont make 5MM per....

[Coach34]

I have no idea why- but its all over that he wants out and his agent is working hard...

[Todd4State]

Dan may be looking- but I doubt he would take any job just to get out of Starkville. It would have to be the absolute RIGHT job. But the thing about that is there really aren't that many out there.

Georgia is the only one I can see remotely making any sense at all.

I get where you're coming from but the season's not over. If we win the Egg and the Sugar then I could see the rationale for another raise.

Maybe it's like another poster mentioned, that Dan's lobbying for assistant raises. Or it could just be another round of the same old rumors.

[Csdog]

Coach 34, you are being played by Jimmy Sexton

[BossDawg]

I have no idea why- but its all over that he wants out and his agent is working hard...

Fire up the Plantation Twitters! Cue the BearShark pricks! Get the Spirit on the line! Dan Mullenz wants out of Starksville because it SUX AND MOOU DOES TOO!!! LOLZOMGROTFLMAO!!!

[missouridawg]

Ive said it once, and because I want to be wrong, I'll say it again... FSU is the school. We need to hope today's report about players and assaulting women lingers enough to discourage him from perusing it. Also hope that Jimbo just stays instead of bolting to LSU.

[gravedigger]

At what point was this fact eatablished?

[mstatefan91]

At what point was this fact eatablished?

At the end of every season

[preachermatt83]

I'm not the one who said open the checkbook... I Do not think he deserves a raise but again, unless it's UGA, LSU, ND, UT, maybe USC.... He ain't going anywhere.

[Saltydog]

very plausible, IMO and I could see it happening.........

[Coach34]

I've said what I said- now we let it play out

[civildawg]

Rick Ray will be here next year. I guarantee it!1!1!

[Pollodawg]

Megan used to be really happy here. She has always been close with the players, too. I don't know what, if anything, could have happened, but it would have had to have been major for Dan to turn the down the kind of dough he's about to be making here when we win out to close the season, and uproot his wife who was one of the main reasons he took this job to being with.
