NOW, it could've been a situation where Mullen wasn't leaving MSU for less that what he's making now, & Oregon made a financial decision.

If that's the case, it's tough to blame Mullen. At least he loves his job at MSU enough to not take a pay cut to coach somewhere else.
Oregon could have paid the money and then some with absolutely no problem whatsoever. And they are one of only about 10 - 12 schools who could do so. There is also not a better fit in all of college football for how Oregon wants to run their program than Dan Mullen (except Meyer, but he ain't going anywhere). It's all BS. You don't fire a guy after one bad year and then start nickel and diming on the replacement anyway.
