Mississippi State is on a path to become the Memphis State of the SEC. The needed announcement must be made by either the AD or State's President. The AD must say, "Dan Mullen is out. We have made to phone calls to raise enough money to change our football future. A search will begin immediately to have a new, experienced head coach in place no later than the last bowl game of this season, and sooner if possible."
If that announcement isn't made by the AD, the following announcement must be made by the President: "I have made the decision to change our football future. We are buying out the remainder of the contracts held by our AD and head football coach. We will begin a search for more experienced and capable people who have shown they can build programs that compete well in a conference as strong as the SEC."
Absent either of those announcements, you, your children and your grandchildren must get ready for more of the football disappointments we've seen since the early 1950's. Those disappointments have seldom been interrupted by the briefest glimpses of success.
Signing off to crawl back under the house.
