He's done a good job, albeit with some bad losses, at MSU. Yes, yes, his defenders will start screaming "but he's better then Beilema" after I bring that up. Well dysentery is better then what Arkansas has had the last few years.

He has had some bad losses but he's working with a severe recruiting disadvantage. MSU shares a small state with two other established football programs and the threat of Alabama reaching over and cherry picking recruits.

Mullen is a hard working coach who is battle tested in the SEC. With Kirby Smart looking to build a dynasty at Georgia the Gators can't settle for "well he had a halfway decent season as head coach of UMass." You need someone who isn't blundering into the SEC blind.

He has a good eye for talent, and Mullen can develop a QB. Florida desperately needs that right now. If I was the Florida AD Dan Mullen would be my first choice and I'd make him a serious offer.

This is year 9 of Dan Mullen. He lost once or twice to OM that will get vacated by the NCAA and last year was an aberration, including a loss to South Alabama.

Name a couple of those bad losses.

Way more back story to this, just can not see the FL AD poaching from MSU, this should have been expected by all up front.

Dude, that is the understatement of the year. They should build a statue to Mullen outside that Stadium. He is far and away the best coach in Mississippi State history. Not even close. Jackie Sherrill had a couple of magic moments, but Mullen IS Mississippi State football.
