Fits Hart's requirements- SEC experience, HC experience, proven coach. He probably feels he has maxed out at Miss. St. We could do worst- If not Gruden, I kind of like Fedora.

Mullen: a coach with the NCAA snooping around Starkville. No thanks. Why would you want another coach who skirts the line of NCAA violations?

Not a Mullen fan but your right we could do worse. Its not a HR hire though and wont excite and rslly the fanbase so not likely.

I respectfully do not share your opinion. I think the next person you call after Gruden is Patterson. Sure he's probably more of a long shot than Grudes but he's worth the same in gold. I think they also check with Stoops. I've thought the name was silly for a while but OK has been in a decline and he may not get many more opportunities to leave. I think a change of scenery could breathe new life into his career and I think he's a solid hire. After that I would call Charlie Strong. The list gets pretty muddy from there...

They all skirt the NCAA as far as violations are concerened. Your fooling yourself by saying anything else.

With that said, I would be happy with Mullen.

Would I be excited? No. Would I be unhappy? No. It'd be a pretty average hire.

Nothing wrong with your opinion- I'm looking at realistic hires. I would love Patterson, Stoops, Peterson, Mora- I'm just not sure how realistic they would be.

I'm just not one that believes a coach leaves one SEC school for another. Historically it happens from time to time but it rarely makes a big splash.

Also I think Miss State is a more stable program right now and they're on their way up. Mullen has been rebuilding for a couple of years and he's just now start to reap the benefits. He'd be back at square one if he came to Knoxville... and I just don't see that happening

I see your point, but Tennessee is a huge step up from Miss. St.

Historically yes but not in the last 5 years. Mullen also came from Urban's staff so he probably doesn't think too highly of UT. 100% pure speculation on my part. I just hope we hire the right guy... I'll support whoever it is

For the hundredth time, how the **** is Mullen proven? Please, someone tell me what his biggest win in the SEC has been.
