Should have beat Bama then, bruh
I think Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Auburn are all definitely better jobs. AU debatable but the others are not.
Game was tied 24-24 with under a minute left in the 4th quarter. He was punching Alabama and all their 4 and 5star players in the mouth all night long, went toe to toe with them, with all his 2 and 3 star players. The guy can scheme up, coach up and develop his players.....which would be a great departure from what were used to the last 5 years.
If youre the head coach at Mississippi State and Tennessee comes calling you dont say no. End of story.
Mullen is a home run hire. Mississippi State is what, a 4 win program usually? Hes elevated it and would be great here. The only problem with Mullen is we should have done it five years ago.
MSU isn't the better job. Tell the recruits come to MSU and make them great.
Our coach has to say come to UT and make us great again.
MSU has never been great. And probably never will be great.
Due to the TV deals, if we offered $6.5MM, State could match in a heartbeat. However, we can offer the following things that State can't:
1. Better in-state recruiting/national recruiting profile
2. The SEC East
3. Not little brother in own state
4. Better facilities
5. Better looking co-eds
6. Lengthy tradition of winning
7. Bigger brand/more exposure

Mullen's my top Plan B option after you-know-who, but one of his decisions from that Bama game really bothered me. MSU was up 21-17 early in the 4th quarter with 4th and 6 from the 8 yard line. They successfully kicked a field goal, but Alabama was penalized for running into the kicker. Instead of electing to go for it on 4th and 1 from the 3, Mullen decided to decline the penalty and kickoff with a 7 point lead (Alabama scored to tie the game on the ensuing possession).
That's exactly the kind of irrationally safe, play-not-to-lose conservatism that doomed Butch so many times (e.g., the 2015 Oklahoma game).

Tennessee is BY FAR the better job, thats the point. Yet, look what Mullen has done there, compare it to what Jones/Dooley/Kiffin did here.....it aint close. Mullen would be a very good hire and a major upgrade over what weve had here the last decade based on his player development and doing more with less.
And as far as MSU never being great, of course they havent, theyre Mississippi State, theyre located in Starkville, MS....yet its indisputable that Mullen did a great job there a few years back when he had them the #1 ranked team in the country.
