He is in the process of building something special. He doesn't have a bar to live up to, he is setting it himself. He lives for the rivalry with TSUN. He strikes me as a guy that does things for the challenge. He believe he can dominate Mississippi recruiting and win a SEC title, and I think that is his mission.

Mullen doesn't wanna leave here before accomplishing his goals for Mississippi State. This is no stepping stone for him. He will leave one day, but that will be after he takes us to the SEC Championship game.

a lot of people have said he needs to come out and publicly put th erumors to bed. I dont think he can do that until he gets confirmation from Strickland on what his new package entails. I think he needs to be at 2.6 million + incentives and I think he knows that.
When that deal is finalized, then he comes out and says what he is building for here, how he wants to get it accomplished and how he and his family are happy at MSU.

State has won more national titles, more SEC Championships, Mississippi is a better recruiting state than florida, and he will make more money in starkville!
(not really.)
Wouldn't you want to goto Florida?
We have a better record than them and BEAT them HEAD TO HEAD AT THEIR PLACE, and they still goto a better bowl than us. Florida is just better.

But part of me understands why he would leave.<div>
</div><div>Hopefully, he does truly believe that he can build Mississippi State into a great program. There's no reason why we can't be a large force in the SEC year after year after year. Of course, every program has off years, but there's no reason we can't be just as good, and better, than Arkansas, Auburn, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Georgia and compete with Florida, Bama and LSU on a yearly basis.</div><div>
</div><div>MSU has proven that we have the ability to play with any team in the NCAA, and we are only in year two after we were "Croomed." There's talent in Mississippi, no doubt about that, and the better we get, the more good kids we get from Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas and Florida. Yes, we are usually 2nd, 3rd and 4th in line from schools like Alabama and Florida, but kids are noticing that they can come to MSU, prove the potential that they have, and play on an extremely talented team and be coached byarguablythe best coaching staff in the SEC.</div><div>
</div><div>I guess we'll see what happens very, very soon.</div><div>
</div><div>Regardless of what happens, Dan Mullen, Manny Diaz, Scott Stricklin and Mark Keenum has given us the "blueprint" for success. They've put people in seats, they're improving every aspect of our program, so we are going to continue to improve. </div><div>
</div><div>Go Dawgs.</div>

If UF offers and it is truely a unbelievable deal and a verticle move, then who can be blame a man for bettering himself and his career. If this happens, I will have nothing but respect for Mr. Mullen. I also believe that Danwants, and desires the challenge of taking MSU to SECG and even further. If the loyality wins and he stays here, just imagine how proud each of us will be that we have a coach that truely loves all things MSU and wants to stay to the job is complete. When that day arrives, it will truely be a Great Day to Be a BULLDAWG!!

That is why Urban is stepping down. To much damn pressure down there and it will kill a man. The stress is not worth the job. That mountain has been climbed and flag hoisted at UF twice. As a coach you would not want to be compared to those teams every year.</p>

I think Dan likes Starkville/MSU, and absolutely enjoys his job. I can't imagine the amount of stress that it would put on a man to coach Florida in a down year...I've got a few friends that are Florida fans and they're completely pissed with their season. Much like the few Bama fans I know.

I agree. His friend Urban is leaving to be with his family and stress from a 7 and 5 season. Dan must feel the same way.

Our AD should get money up till it should not be that great of issue. Once your making the kind of money these guys are you can only spend so much. If he turns down Miami why wouldn't he turn down Florida. Miami is a lot easier path to a BCS game then Florida. The Sec West isn't going any where......Let Florida go hire the TCU or Boise coach.....
