Message: [QUOTE="SU94, post: 1553835, member: 202"] I heard from a reliable person that Mullen had interest in the SU gig in the off-season when we hired Marrone. Yes, Mullen has some roots in the northeast. Yes, he worked at SU for a season. But the reason he'll leave Miss State is that their profile is easily at the bottom of the SEC West. He cannot win big there. He's had Dak Presscott the last 2-3 years and that gravy train is about to end. He took the Bulldogs to what is realistically their greatest heights (I think they reached #1 for a week or two last year). So, it is going to be time for Mullen to choose to leave or else relegate himself to 5th and 6th place finishes in the SEC West most years. And with people like Urban advising him, there is little doubt in my mind that he'll choose to reboot at another school. If our job opens in a few weeks, I would hope that Coyle makes a few calls to Mullen's people. IMHO, it's a longer shot, but not a longshot, if you get my drift. [/QUOTE]
