Freeze is the exact same. Gary Patterson rarely is considered a serious candidate for jobs. Art briles isn't rumored to be up for every job from Minnesota to Maryland to Miami to uga, and are you telling me they wouldn't love to have briles??
The point is there are lots of coaches that have had more consistent success than Mullen out there coaching at programs with similar or less cach? than we do, yet their names disappear from the coaching carousel faster than it appears. It ain't because of some media conspiracy against msu, it's because they tell their agents to pull their names as fast as they get mentioned.
