Dan wanted the job a few years ago when Jim got it. And he wanted PSU when Franklin got it.


False and here is the reason .. Megan Mullen

“There is nothing like being a Mississippi State Bulldog,” she said. “The support of fans here is so unlike anything anywhere else. It’s unbelievable. I’ve never experienced a really bad situation. The former school we were at, won two national championships there, won practically every game we played for four years there.

“It wasn’t if you won or lost. If we didn’t score 43 points or more, I was going to the grocery store in Orlando where I worked with the Golf Channel and I was driving the groceries back to Gainesville because it was that bad.”

A lot can happen, and it’s certainly unwise to rule Dan’s return to Gainesville out, it doesn’t sound like Megan will be too eager to return to Florida anytime soon.

I think UF has Frost at the top of their list. Mullen might be a target at UT and ATM (this year or next) and Mullen might have more interest in those jobs than UF.

If Kirby Smart is offered the UF job, he's taking it.

See how easy that is? It's no less silly of a statement.

This is just factually incorrect.

So your contention here is that Dan Mullen would NOT have accepted the Florida job if it was offered to him back when McElwain got it?

It's not my contention. It's a fact. It was a fact then and it's a fact today.

If Dan is happy never competing for national championships, I really don't want him at UF.

This is BS. I saw her plenty of times in Publix when I lived in Gainesville. Also, it is pretty well known that Dan was an a-hole to fans, to his boss, to Urban Meyer and to people in general. I sat at his table for fundraisers. I didn't give UF a dime and part of it was because of his arrogance and abrasiveness, including how he treated his wife.

No one in their right mind would choose to live and work in the state of Mississippi over Florida. :p

McElwain got canned, in large part, because he was abrasive and didn't play well with others. This is the same reason Mullen never got a look the last two times the UF job came open.


bingo

There is a lot of bad blood between boosters and Mullen. I know Miss St fans love to think that UF offered Dan and Mullen rejected them, but they have never offered him, and probably never will.

So what I'm gathering is Starkville is the end all be all of college football? And it's not a better job than Florida? I'll take 4 of whatever you people are taking. Cause it's obviously good shite.

The only was Mullen is even considered is if Stricklin sticks his neck out for him. Mullen’s personality is to much like Macs that’s why he is still in Starkville . This idea that he will not leave is down right funny . The guys name has been put out there and been rumored to interview for jobs in recent years . Either he doesn’t like it their as much as the fans think or he likes money more then he likes coaching at State. If he leav s State it will likely be for s job out side of the SEC.

A program that whipped the shite out of LSU, on the road, which started their downfall. They still haven't recovered and Dan knows how to beat LSU and also recruit Louisiana. I can see why an LSU fan wants to shite on MSU.

It is pretty well known that she doesn't like Gainesville. It was too urban for her and she missed the mountains. She says she didn't grocery shop in Gainesville because it was so bad. Yet, she grocery shopped at the Haile Publix regularly (in Gainesville). So, you tell me, is she lying?

Your first two sentences don't really make sense together. I think I'll have what you're having

What's so hard to understand here? 1. Starkville is the end all be all of college football. 2. Miss st is a better job than Florida. Both these statements have came from people in this very thread. I'm not speaking Chinese here, I don't understand what's so hard to comprehend.
