So this will actually be interesting.
It's been reported that he and Stricklin didn't see eye to eye.
Pair that with them publicly striking out with their first choice - does Mullen's ego allow him to be widely known second (at least) choice?
Maybe. We shall see.

Or maybe Mullen is pulling the ultimate troll job on Loafers. That would be pretty sweet.

Looks like Florida’s missed on their top targets and Stricklin has almost no choice but to go after dan

Probably pulling the trigger to fast and not waiting on Scott Frost to play the championship game. Or Frost has let it be known that he will take NE and announce after next weekend. I think school make bad choices trying to name someone too quick. They struck out on Kelly, fine, but don't rush the back up plan just to name someone today or tomorrow. If XYZ is the coach but he won't announce until next, wait it out.

If so, thanks but vaya con dios. If we've gotta keep watching this soap opera at least we be able to get Jack back. But if he doesn't jump ship now he's staying for the long haul.

Mullen and Stricklin don’t get along... Mrs Mullen openly blasted the UF culture... Mullen was blatantly not choice #1.

If he goes with all of that info out there, then good luck.

So Megan Mullen states in an article how she and Dan felt publically threatened every time they went grocery shopping after a Florida loss but now it’s OK, she’s good with going back to Gainesville? Haha. Sexton is playing State like a 17’ing fiddle. Just like he did OM with Houston Nutt. Here’s what Cohen needs to do. Tell Mullen he’s happy with the job he’s done and happy with him staying but if you want to leave the safe confines of employment here in Starkville then GTFO and take Sexton with you.

Why would Sexton be playing games now though? Has he not already got Mullen a big raise?

How much more can State pay Mullen and assistants than 6 mil+?

That’s what doesn’t make sense for the Sexton angle imo.

There have been numerous rumors in the past that didn’t seem to make much sense. For some reason, this year feels different to me. I kinda got the feeling Mullen is gone. I have no sources just a hunch. If he goes, I’ll hold no grudge against him. He’s done an amazing job. However, i will hate strick.

I feel the same way. It hasn’t felt right, especially since last night.

His EB post game show he sounded different. That loss beat him down. I woulder if he doesn’t think that he can’t take us any higher personally.

Florida.fans will have Foley's head and Strickllin will be looking for a new job if they pay 6+ million for Dan. Too many of them remember Dan from earlier and don't have fond memories.
