When Mullen left, I really wanted State to at least interview the guy. His intensity puts the Intense Bastard to shame, and his players still love him. I think he’d do well as a NFL HC.

I thought he didn't want to coach college? Did he really just leave USM for a NFL OC position because of the money?

Not sure. I always heard that he wanted to be a HC in the NFL, but never thought it would happen. When he went to Tampa, his salary was $2.1 million. For what it’s worth, supposedly he and his family liked Mississippi.

Same here. When Mullen left, he was one of three, four guys I would've been cool with if we hired.

Count me as another, though my impression was that he wanted to be in the NFL. I was really impressed with his scheme and the way he seemed to get the most out of his talent.

Monken hated college coaching. Especially recruiting. He turned play calling over to to his asst. Also got in a little trouble with the ladies.
