OK I went back and read some of the thread... So, basically...

Wednesday: Betting odds shift, Mullen suddenly favored
Later Wednesday: It's reported Mullen was on campus.
Later Wednesday: Reputable posters confirm he was on campus.

So the betting odds almost certainly shifted because he was spotted on campus and Vegas caught wind of it in a hurry.

Prior to that, he wasn't a hot name for the job amongst reporters. Since then, he hasn't denied it (he previously denied having spoken to anyone at Mississippi State and only said "never say never" about going back there), not a peep from Thamel (who seems pretty well connected to the Syracuse athletic department), and lots of buzz among the fanbase but not much else.

Yesterday and today, he's getting needled on the air about Syracuse, and he's not really playing along or saying anything.

This sure reads like he's the guy. Wildhack isn't doing anything to dispel the rumor, Sexton isn't doing anything to dispel the rumor, Mullen isn't doing anything to dispel the rumor.
 
Also a ton of Kentucky fans talking about Dan Mullen since it looks like Stoops is going to A&M

Was talking about this to a tenny fan and he laughed and said that Mullen had an agreement to go there and then the Florida job opened up and things changed. With the shakeups about to happen (Clemson? Kentucky? Etc) there might be a legit more attractive option available to him soon.

Yeah no way he’s gonna say oh yeah he was here. Half the team is following Mullen on Twitter. Including someone in the portal today. This can’t be a nothing burger. And I was told he was there. And it was reported he was on campus by outlets on weds

Also it is a rule that you deny everything throughout a hiring process. You never want leaks-good or bad- to come out before you get to have a conversation with those who didn't get the job.

Shut your wh*** mouth! 100% joking. Yes. Other more attractive opportunities. Perfectly reasonable... but we don't do that here...

Agreed, but if just posturing, he wouldn’t have shut down the rumors of other schools and not mentioned us. Especially given that Mr. Barrie is our fairy godmother right now and poking him regularly.

He didn’t need Syracuse rumors to get himself offers. Guy can go wherever he wants with a phone call.

Yeah, I would expect tomorrow is a whole different day.

I'm sure Wildhack wanted a signature today before the serious musical chairs start.

Dabo and Stoops both going to same place? Kentucky will promote their hot assistant coach not hire Mullen.

It’s all part of the game and gaining leverage.

No one is doing anything wrong.

Did I say they were? I said I wouldn't find it cool to be used. I wouldn't. It's fine that you like it. I once watched CNBC on a Sunday night as they ran a special about a big corportate merger in the works. If it happened, I would spend the next 6 months in Penn. I didn't enjoy that either.

No he didn’t need Syracuse but there is more urgency to interview him now if he’s close to signing with Syracuse. So did he use us? We will see. Did we use him to low ball someone else? We will see.

No benefit and a waste of time. He makes a call and anyone listens and brings him in. This isn’t rocket science.
