"I love the one I have," said Mullen. "I think what you can see if what we've been able to build Mississippi State into, as I keep saying. When you look around, we've been able to build a facility. You've got an AD (athletic director John Cohen) that's been a coach and hugely supports our football program. We've built a team that's a Top 25 program, in my mind. And with the atmosphere on Saturday night, I have a great job."
"I think everybody has an opinion in the world of what I should and shouldn't do," said Mullen. "But most of the people that know me, friends that have known me for a long time, they know I like my own opinion. I'm not really interested in other people's opinions all that much. So I like my own opinion."
And my wife, I listen to her opinion," added Mullen. "I got no choice but to do that (laughing). If you get in that situation whether you like her opinion or not, you better take that one and really contemplate on when you hear that."
