Mullen has a pretty good gig where he is. 4 mil per year at a school with a historically poor record of accomplishments on the gridiron. He's made it through the tough part of the rebuilding job. A lot of coaches don't make it to year 7. Especially when at a historically good program. Texas immediately comes to mind. I don't see Charlie Strong making it to year 7. Not to mention Bielema, Sumlin and Malzahn in our own conference. They certainly have the resources to succeed, but time will tell Butch Jones better keep improving himself.

The only thing that will take Mullen away is if he is just hellbent on vying for a national championship. And before you say he can do that here, there are a lot of places that provide a lot smoother road to a championship than at MSU. That's just being realistic. UCS is one of those. The only reason I don't think he'll end up there is the style of offense I believe they want to run. They may not care about that, but historically they have run a pro style offense which I don't see Mullen running. Georgia is also an easier place to win a championship.

Hopefully the aforementioned comments of not poaching from other teams is a reality and we won't have to worry about it.
