I on the other hand, am going to have a little faith that Dan cares about his home(Starkville), family, and players than he does money. Y’all freaking out about this is exactly what the sh*tbirds like to see. It makes us look like poor little Mississippi State. 17’n stop.
No, what makes us look like poor little Mississippi State is the fact that Mullen is the default candidate for every other P5 job that comes open out there from every talking head on TV and the internet. People at large don't get their perception of the MSU job from what MSU fans are saying on a message board, they get it from the "perception" that Mullen continues to allow his name to be shopped for every job out there making it appear as if our job is well below every other job out there. As I've said yes, Mullen is a good coach, but I've never seen attention like this for any other coach ever that in 9 seasons has only had one year with more than 8 wins during the regular season and has had 2 losing seasons.
