If Mullen closes the deal on Bama, Mullen is still the MSU Head Coach. Bonus points: you would take the Mullen win over Bama vs having Moorhead as head coach right now.

Easy sell. And I'd rather have a coach going forward who wants the job than a win with a coach going forward who doesn't.

Sell. It's well known that Mullen was out the door this year regardless. He was even ready to take the TN job. I am now content with Mullen leaving, because I think Moorhead is a little sharper that Don Mallingsly, plus I think he will recruit better. The new blood feels better, although I was initially pissed.

Sell, he was gone. All beating Bama would have done was make him slightly more attractive to a program

He was not taking the TN job. Nobody wants a part of that **** show...not even a coach that just got 17ing fired wanted to go there. It was leverage to move things along with UF. UT was Sexton-ed. But, none of that is to say he didn’t want out. Had Florida gone another direction, he’d be in Tallahassee most likely.

Sell. He was checking out after that one either way.

And yes, I'd take a Mullen win over Bama regardless of who we hired. The IB was going to get it right regardless.

I think we was taking the TN job. They scheduled a press conference to announce it on Sunday. 5 years from now, he may wish he had taken that job. Expectations are higher at UF, and the fanbase is already against him.

Hard Sell. In a perfect world I’d like to have the Mullen win over Bama and Ole Miss and then him leave and we get Moorhead as coach. But he Mullened it away.

Yeah Sexton's slimy *** and the head games he played slipped my mind. I didn't calculate that in. Either way Mullingsly was looking for a horse out of town.

This is a good point. The question actually begs Mullen to not be Mullen, but keep him for being Mullen.
