Wes Rucker was tweeting on Saturday night that there was "less than 0% chance that Mullen would be back in Starkville next year." Went on to say that he has been trying to get out of there for 2 years and that he tried hard to get the UT job when Butch got the job.
I don't know why Mullen would leave MSU. $3-5 million goes a long way in Starkville and they won't be trying to fire him for consistently going 8-4 and even having a losing season occasionally. Sure won't have to worry about being compared to any of his predecessors at State either.
