re: Mullen is in a very interesting spot right now....

Last time he was the "hot guy", Dak left and his star diminished. Now he's the hot commodity again.

If you're Mullen you can....
Stay at MSU. Career average 8-3. Make some noise every 4-5 years. Retire a millionaire and have the field named after you.

Or chase the big dream. And all of the inherent risk that comes with it.

Yeah, but what's the big dream? Did Richt achieve it at UGA? Is it a national championship? Les Miles won one. He was fired last year.

Gene Chizik won one. Say Chizik built had Iowa State into what Mississippi State is right now and was making $5 million a year, then was offered the Auburn job? Would leaving for Auburn, winning a NC, then being fired two years later be better than winning 7-10 games every year at Iowa State and still making $5 million a year?

How many "can't miss" coaching hires at bigger programs have missed? Nearly all of them.
