Dan Mullen has turned down every SEC coaching position that may come available! CLANGALANGALANG!

Henry is correct. Mullen wont leave unless it's for one of these. Mullen thinks of State on the same level as Auburn, Arkansas, Tennessee. He feels he can do just as well at State.
Now, I'm not saying we are because we havent been historically, not even close. But Auburn, Tenn, and UPig are about to have as many losing seasons the last 4 years as State- 1. And Mullen feels our program is in no way going to backtrack, and will stay on par with those schools.
It's going to take a top 10 in the country type of job to get him out of Starkville. He has it too good in Starkville- and he wont be pressured about getting fired if he goes 8-4 or 7-5 like he would at other bigtime programs.

People always talking about Mullen leaving for "more attractive destinations" really do not understand Mullen or what makes him "tick" at all. They are just thinking about "what would I do?" Mullen is cocky. He thinks he can be a better coach than everyone else. You can never "prove" that at places like Florida and Texas. You are just the "new guy doing the same job as the old guy" even in winning titles. To some extent, it seems that that idea disgusts him. He does not want to be the next. He wants to be the first. As long as he feels like he can eventually get that done at Mississippi State, he will stay at Mississippi State.
100% truth
Mullen wants a statue built of him when he is done coaching- he has said this- it's not speculation. He feels he can get that at Miss State.
Now I'm not going to say he wont leave if offered one of those 10 top jobs- but the man wants a statue built on him. And he likes where he is at alot

He'd only leave for a top 20 coaching job (UT, AU, Nebraska). Not Arkansas
I don't even think he would leave for UT or AU. Nebraska, possibly depending on the deal and what State would offer to keep him.

Honestly, MS State is giving him all the time in the world to build HIS program and win the way he wants to. Auburn would insist on Trooper-type recruiters and he would have to look at Pat Dye's drunk arse everyday, UT would have boosters sabotaging him left and right, Arkansas? He detests incest so there you go. Mullen makes a lot of money coaching at a school that worships him and knows he will get whatever he wants in Starkville. Why the hell would he give all that up to go somewhere where he will be canned in 2 0r 3 years if he doesn't do what the people think he should be doing?
He wanted a football only facility-done
He wanted to spearhead stadium expansion-done
He wants a statue? He'll get one, but only after we build one for Jack Cristil.
He wants a president and an AD that sees his vision-got it.
He wants boosters to step up and build our warchest-State never dreamed we would be raking in donations like we are now.
Mullen wants asses in seats-20 straight sell-outs at DWS
Again, the guy is not greedy. He is cerebral and realizes he has it made where he is at...

What about Georgia? They already have the talent of the big three, without the same demands and the best place to live. Georgia is the best job in the conference.

The problem with Dan Mullen is Dan Mullen. He is not well liked outside of Starkville from what I understand. He has been described as strange and creepy. He is not good with media and not sure he has what it takes to be a head coach a major SEC program. He is not a recruiter but is very good schematically. He runs a good program but knows he is limited at Miss State. He does seem more like Big Ten type of a coach. He could have a really good year but I think ultimately it may be the impending sanctions that might motivate his leave more than a large contract. Recruiting in state is obviously going to be more difficult with what Hugh Freeze is selling in Oxford.

That's so funny because you don't know shite. Can you show an article or link that states this? You're basing this off listening to a bunch of butt-hurt Ole Miss and Florida fans talk about how he is an a-hole. Nick Saban doesn't even allow people to make eye contact with him inside their football facility. Apparently Doolander doesn't allow people to talk to him unless he addresses them first. That is creepy and dysfunctional. It's stupid for you or anyone else to speculate on his personality unless you live with him.
Do I know Mullen personally? No
Have I taked to him on numerous occasions at State functions? Yes I have. He is no less or no more than most other people. He knows what gets State people fired up and excited and has maintained that during his rebuilding of this program. The last time I checked those were traits that most A.D.'s worth a shite would have found to be advantageous to be a successful coach.
Do you ever hear bad things about this team? He runs a clean program. He holds his players accountable for their behavior. A trait you might wish Richt would employ.

I think it is well known that his personality rubs many recruits the wrong way. Maybe it has gotten better but I do know that he was described as creepy and strange. Dont get me wrong, I think he is a good coach but his personality is a major liability. Just ask Miami.

Go ask Gainesville what they think about him...and Salt Lake City. No coach that "upsets the balance" at an underdog will ever be well liked.

He is Bristol's DARLING. Funny how he's so bad with them, yet they mention him for EVERY SINGLE job opening in the country. Good friends with Van Pelt and Doug Gottlieb. You will see unmatched ESPN fapping toward Dan Mullen starting on Sunday leading into the Alabama game.
quote:
He is not a recruiter
Has what will end up being(rankings wise) the best recruiting class at MSU in over a decade currently committed. Has given us 2 top 25 classes, soon to be 3. He gets better and better in this regard every single season.
quote:
but knows he is limited at Miss State.
Limited by what? State has raised over $70 million in the previous two season in private athletics donations. We have an endowment to pay a football coach that could afford Saban for 25 years. He will never leave over money.
quote:

Oh? So a maximum penalty of 1-2 yrs of probation and 1-2 scholarships are going to run him off?

Is it?

Any recruits who may have had their little bitch-arse feelings hurt was because he wouldn't kiss their arse when he visitied them. He tells everyone the same thing. You will work and bust your arse for any playing time you get at Mississippi State. You are promised nothing other than if you work hard and give relentless effort than you will be prepared for the NFL when you leave State. Last time I checked we are 6-0 and his way seems to be working just fine.

Not bad. i would defend him if he was my coach too. Just an outsiders opinion. By the way, i have no idea who any of those recruits are except Connor. And your in state rival is ranked higher than Miss State on that recruiting site. i like Mullen and think Miss State is a good team.

The irony in this is hilarious...
You mean the elitist institution that a few months after the new hire turns out to be the dirtiest in college football? How many in the administration have gone down with Shapiro thusfar? The one that has no money, no fans, fading prestige, and still acts like they are Texas?
Good to know what they think... and I look forward to the day they are hammered mercilessly by the NCAA.
A Board of Trustees member commenting on a coaching candidate is enough to know that said institution is a joke, and the board member has no professional integrity to speak of such matters on the record.

Freeze is doing a better out of state job for sure, but many of those recruits are guys who are not between Ole Miss and State which basically makes your and other claims false.
