Nope. Things are about to get squirrelly.
Neither one. Mullen is staying. He will get some promises about his contract and other expenditures, but it will take a while to get to a contract.

Next week is going to get crazy. With A&M opening up, lots of moving pieces possible. TN and FL may both miss out on their #1s. Get ready....going to be a bumpy ride.
That's not good to hear
Isn’t going to be a bumpy ride nor will Dan be leaving. Of course for some of you that still don't believe that the media has an evil agenda, you may die from stress. But in the end, Dan Mullen will still be the coach of MSU.Quote:

We?ll know soon enough. And either way, we?ll be fine.
Some of you just can't help it can you. They OWN you.
I?m not worried in the least. Some of you are such Chicken Littles.
Say CDM goes to A&M for 10 freakin? Mill a year. Can?t win the west and gets canned after 3 years.
Say he stays at MSU, getting a steady raise that brings him to 6 Mill for the next 6 years. Might not win the west but he?s right in the running, and his wife can get the love.
Please.

He's gonna get a big bump. Don't worry about that.Quote:

We are, but not all of them are "we".Quote:

Just stop... with the Mullen is leaving mess... TRUST the man and His words.... He's happy where he is.... (paraphrased)
Why/who in the hell would want to go to OM, TN, FL or Texas AM with all the booster issues.... There are many issues at each of these schools
with the boosters running the athletic departments.... He would be starting over from the bottom.... Which one of these schools would allow 9 years of building a team from the bottom up... Mullen has been building MSU football program one game at a time. He has had to fight OM for recruits, while om paid them even in Starkville, MS, within 5 miles of the university... So just hang on, times are changing, but TRUST Coach Mullen and take him at HIS WORD and not the media's. Remember most of them don't get anything correct anyway.... Still NO COI as reported by a certain idiot in OM Media trash bag...
Ate lunch with a friend who is a UT grad and member of the Country Club in Knoxville and he said he heard from boosters their trying to put a $10MM a year package together for Mullen. He said they offered Gruden $11MM but he declined. Not sure I believe it because people will bs you. He said, as a UT grad, that would be incredibly stupid for them to do.
Edited to add: if we can withstand the ride over the next few weeks, it will be a huge statement by Mullen to MSU if he stays. It communicates that there aren?t many, if any, jobs he?s willing to leave for.
I love Dan but I can?t see anyone paying him Saban money....yet.Quote:

I think they?re desperate enough up there to try. But y?all are right, they?ve taken chances on the last 3 hires and it bit them. I don?t see them paying Saban money to anyone but a national championship coach ala urban, Saban, chip Kelly, stoops, etc.
He was trolling you.Quote:

Have heard from a good source that the extension with Mullen is in the works and for staff also. Especially D-coordinator .
He probably was not trolling you. He’s probably just completely full of shit because Dan Mullen is not getting a 10 million dollar offer from anyone.Quote:

maybe not the most reliable source.
I was in Knoxville 3 weeks ago and was talking with a couple of Doctors who are big ut boosters. These 2 wanted Les Miles and they told me there was a growing movement for Les. Reason being they?re tired of missing and wanted a proven winner. They also did say Gruden was first choice but didn?t think they would get him.Who knows how all this crap goes, it?s kinda fun watching all the experts in the media saying they know for sure who?s going where.
Only job that gives me pause is FSU & Mullen wouldn't be at the top of their list.
I can tell you with absolute certainty that Megan Mullen has no plans of moving. Her parents live in Starkville and let’s just say she has made some recent investments that people expecting to move don’t make.
Another thing to consider is their son Cannon’s use of the MSU golf facilities and how that helped him.
Not saying that something can’t happen, but the Mullen’s are not preparing to move in their per their actions in their private lives.
So you hold FSU as premier destination? Is it one of your dream jobs. Can u give us your top 5-10 jobs you?d leave for?Quote:

We arent out of the woods yet- there are some scenarios that could lure Mullen away- but he REALLYYYY doesnt want to leave the 2018 team to someone else.
There is going to be alot of shuffling and posturing with all the openings. Will be crazy this offseason
Mullen 100% leaves us for Fla State if he has the chance. And you couldnt blame himQuote:

I think THAT is what the man wants. We pay him well enough that he is already financially secure, and will be more so even if he stays.Quote:
