This will hold true, here. Mullen will not be wearing Tennessee Orange next year:

Why He Won't
Is Tennessee really that big of an upgrade over Mississippi State? A move to Tennessee would still be pitting Mullen against Saban every year, so that doesn't help.
Furthermore, he's got a good thing going at Mississippi State. He's had a winning season every year but his first there, and a school that's used to being the doormat is probably going to be a lot more patient than a place like Tennessee.
I just don't see Mullen leaving an SEC program that's doing well for an SEC program that isn't doing so well, when it's all said and done.

I thought about this last night...

A Hudspeth/Freeze Egg Bowl would be fun as hell. Both guys have VERY similar backgrounds.

The guy makes a good point about Franklin - why isn't his name being thrown around for all of these openings as much as Mullen? It's almost as if these writers and the media WANT Mullen to bolt. Is MSU that God-awful of a place to be?

When we played the Hogs

I talked to a couple of their fans (that go to every game).
They made no bones about it that they wanted James Franklin.

Everybody has their wish list.

If Dan wants to go, there are good jobs available. I personally want him to stay.

I can't see him being high on their wish list after the way we finished the season. Maybe as a backup plan.
