So does Dan Mullen Regret Leaving MSU for the Florida Job?

In the wake of the Mullen firing I was looking through some old threads back when it was rumored he was going elsewhere, and in this thread there was speculation about him going to aTm although other schools were mentioned as well. LINK

Here’s what I had to say on the matter.

I agree with this. He seems to like where he is and over time a coach like that becomes invested in the school and the school/fans become invested in him. In some ways it becomes difficult to uproot and move on absent some compelling reason to do so. It really becomes more about the quality of life which takes into account family and a lot of other things. It's not about the most money, some "destination" job where everybody notices you and thinks you are cool and gives you a better chance of winning a title. Getting into a pressure cooker often comes with such gigs, and that's not for everybody. If a person, in the coaching profession or otherwise, is able to live comfortably and be happy with where they are along with their family, then that often is what is most important in life, recognizing that people are different. Some very successful coaches have made a good living at smaller places and have retired after coaching many seasons at such places. It's not always about moving on to what some perceive as "bigger and better" things.

Lots of folks had differing opinions on the matter back at that time. I do not think there was any doubt he could have stayed at MSU until retirement. Now, after being fired after four seasons at Florida, it comes down to whether the change, both financially, and personally, was a good one.

What say the Ranters?
