Odds are Mullen would respond to Scott with about 6 million reasons why he’d rather stay in Starkville instead of having perennial swamp butt in Gainesville.

UF is a toxic place for a coach to go into.
If he stays ok. If he leaves ok.
If anyone wants Mullen they are going to have to insanely overpay for him. We have the money to and will match whatever anyone wants to throw at him. Dont see him going anywhere. Mullen would laugh at UT right now, why would he want to go backwards. We would beat both of them by 2 TDs if we played tomorrow
Too much direct and indirect pressure on a coach at FL, and would Foley even hire DM? Unless things have changed, Megan would not want to go back there. I think she luvs Starkvegas.
and Tennessee will because their top 2-3 targets are probably going to say no. Just hearing some chatter on that front. We'll see how it plays out. We have a very good team built for 2018 and 2019- so we will be fine whatever the outcome is.Quote:

It will be hard for Mullen to leave what he has built in Starkville- but to say he wont is being naiveQuote:

Mullen would have to take a large reduction in pay to coach at NDQuote:

Two months from now the narrative from this board will be that Mullen was pimping himself to UT and UF.
That's part of it, but most importantly, Tennessee doesn't have a large amount of raw talent in its backyard like we do here. You have to recruit nationally, and Mullen's standard "work hard, earn your spot, no promises" pitch wouldn't get him what he needs. He'd have to radically change his approach and put in a different kind of effort to recruit successfully there, which we know he likely isn't willing to do.Quote:
