Is UT really a better job than MS State?

State is returning a better team.
UT doesn’t have built-in recruiting advantages now that UGA is rising.
State has nice facilities.
Both have to play Bama each year.
Neyland stadium is larger.
Knoxville is more metropolitan than Starkville...but so is Hattiesburg.
UT has more tradition, but times have changed.
Vols have the advantage if now cowbells.
Tough call...

UT would actually have to play Bama twice in a year to win an SEC title. Who wants to have to beat them twice?

Ms state celebrates 10 win seasons.
Tenner feels entitled to 10 win seasons.
Ms state was last ranked #1 in the polls 3 years ago, Tenner? Two decades ago.

Tennessee is a top 5 SEC job. State is a bottom 5 SEC job.
Try harder.

tMSU is on the rise. With OM about to go into a 10 year hibernation, the banking industry will shift towards Starkville building condos and revitalization of the city and stadium.

UT has the history on their side. But in my opinion, a good job is only as good as it's job security. I'll take top 15 money and know I have a job tomorrow over somewhere with "history" and get fired mid-season. Mullen has Mississippi State as competitive as we've seen.
I know the topic is ceiling, but he hasn't reached it. People must forget what a dumpster fire Croom left. That takes time to change.

I'd prefer UT just for the sake of being able to live in the Smokies/Cherokee. Plus, expectations at UT are a little lower than in Starkville at this point.

Yes

There will only be troll responses but clearly Tennessee is a superior job and not even close. Recruiting territory, storied history, facilities, fan base and stadium.

no it is not.Look at the last 3 hire's made by ut,uf and who lsu hired.Coaches,i think are starting to realize why deal with crazy arse fan's that throw a hissy fit if they don't win it all every year,when they can become multi-millionaire's with less stress at ,msu,ole miss,usce type jobs.5.5 million goes a long way in North Miss.

Yes, but not for coaches like Mullen who apparently enjoy a lower profile job with more control and more appreciative fans.

Another factor people overlook, he's 45 and has been a HC in the SEC west for 9 years. He could stay at state comfortably until his kids finish high school and go wherever he wants (college or NFL) after they leave home, by the time he turns 55. Not to mention he has a strong team coming back next year and is set to sign a good recruiting class in December, so not exactly like he's playing out the string by staying in Starkville a few more years.

It's according to what you are measuring. The likelihood of ever winning a championship at state is less than at tenn. it could happen, but if you are playing percentages, tenn is better. As for all the rest, it's probably a toss up. I think some coaches want to take a bad situation and rebuild it, is Mullen one of those? I don't know.

Bama is so scared of Mullet in Mulletland!

A coach coming from neither school deciding between the 2 schools would most likely pick UT every time.
But is it a better job for Mullen to leave State for? When he has built up State and owns the program.
I don't think so.
