We All Underestimated How Good Mullen Was

A very good reason.

As I said no denial is the same as coming up and saying I'm looking around.

You said he “publicly” stated he was interviewing for other jobs. Nothing you linked remotely alludes to something being public. That is what I questioned from your OP. He never went public

Todd, none of that even remotely says Mullen publically said he was looking for another job. You just made it up and ran with it like it was fact. He NEVER came out and said he was looking for another job in public. Our fans sometimes.... There were rumors every single year because Mullen was winning at MSU and he was a young up and comer. He undoubtedly was being looked at every single year by bigger programs. The only one we know he interviewed with for SURE is Florida. Here is a news flash for you: if Moorhead somehow rights this ship and starts wining, you are going to hear the same rumors about HIM. If he keeps losing your problem is solved, no rumors then and we can keep him forever if we want. I always thought that being pissed about those rumors was stupid. It meant we had a good coach and were winning.
