My thoughts for the night/morning (until I get a shower and get about five hours of sleep before going back at it)
I sincerely hope Skeeter is incorrect in what information he's heard. Because if it is Mullen, that's going to alienate a decent portion of the fan base. Because he is just not worth the money it's going to take to get him out of Starkville. He's already making $4.5 mil a year. You think he's going to jump for less than $5 mil or more?
He won't because he's getting good money to post regular mediocre records with low expectations.
Honestly, if Gruden, Kelly, Patterson and Peterson aren't available, go with the cheap hire and roll the dice with Frost or Norvell. I'd much rather save $3 million or more on a salary and take a chance at an up and coming G5 coach rather than a P5 coach that just doesn't have a record worth crowing about. And before someone claims that's what we did with Jones, he was never mentioned in the same manner as Frost or Norvell.
