re: Mullen has gone from +2200 to +800 odds to become the next head coach of VOLS

If he leaves State for Tennessee then this board will be fun for a few weeks . These State fans don’t seem to indef stand that they are a shitty football program and that coaches will leave for better jobs like Collins and their former AD Stricklin did . So far they have been lucky that nobody has wanted Mullen.

First I'll address the nonsense, then I'll try to explain to a moron why we aren't concerned about him leaving.

- Collins hasn't been anywhere for more than 3 years in like 2 decades. You gave him a raise, of course he bolted.

- Stricklin left because he has aspirations to be more than an AD one day. He knew moving on was necessary to further his career path.

-------------------------

As to the Mullen rumors, most of us just have enough sense to understand that coaches getting paid top 15 salaries have priced themselves out of other jobs. When is the last time a top 15 salaried coach was poached by another program? It didn't even happen with Urban, he literally had to quit coaching for a year to move on to another school. And, to my knowledge, an SEC coach hasn't been poached by another league team since Tubberville left OM in that pine box.

So, like I said on page 1, fish elsewhere. Mullen is great and he is worth 5 mil/year to us, and I wouldn't be surprised to see us go to 6. But the fact remains that he isn't worth 6 mil/year, plus the 15 mil left on his contract, plus whatever any other school is paying for their last coach.



TL/DR: The Price for Mullen is about 10 mil/year without considering what a school has to pay their previous coach. For that type of money I suggest they go put a check for 10-15 mil on Saban's desk.

Ho hum

I'm a little surprised Vernables is not getting more mention. Maybe because he has no HC experience yet which is understandable but I think eventually he's going to make some noise with his own program somewhere.

UF will go after Mullen, again. Don't think that Mullen wants to be in that mess if he keeps picking MSU over UF.

Miles would be a good fit for the Vols for now.

UF didn't go after Mullen...Foley and Mullen don't like each other. Should try to not listen to everything you hear. UF isn't going after Mullen this time either. Stricklin isn't a big fan of Mullen. Noticing a trend? Mullen isn't the nicest tool in the shed. He is a great coach though. I'd take him back in a heart beat.

No, Ole Miss needs Mullen at MSU. We enjoy MSU having a coach that is over paid because he is average, and average is all Mississippi State requires. Meanwhile, we will continue to try and be more than average. This time we won’t “cheat”, but at least we have ambition. Ole miss pays 5mil + to bring home NY6 trophies. Not sneak into a bowl game at 5-7 because of grades.

#1 Landsharks? Really? Must be all that spice
#2 Mullen is the reason you hired Freeze after 3-0
#3 Your aluminum stadium is a simile to your school. Just as the facade is an outward appearance that is maintained to conceal a less pleasant or creditable reality, so is your university.
#4 GTHOM because it will be nicer than where your program will be in 3 years after these sanctions drop
#5 How bout them peach bowl rings? Losers
#6 And last but not least 55-20!



HAILSTATE!
