Maybe he lost to try and throw UT off his trail. Ironic the coach on top of the list loses to in state rival on last game of the year and makes them bowl eligible.

I think the three you name are the only ones that seem to fit the three criteria that Currie established (big, expensive, explosive). Petersen is probably a half step to a full step below those three. Unless Currie has a successful sitting head coach that none of us would expect to leave his current situation on the hook, I don't know where else he can turn.

Ok, then should we have kept Butch?

No way. I never said that. Mullen would not be my top choice, probably closer to 5 or 6 if I were making the list. However, 1 loss against an underdog doesn't make him a bad coach as some are suggesting. He consistently has ranked teams at a crap university, in a crap town, with poor resources and often less talent than the opponent, in the toughest division in all of college football. That program was horrible before he took over. How can anyone not see that? Butch on the other hand under performed with immense talent and failed to develop what he had. Anyone who thinks Mullen wouldn't be a major upgrade over what we've had just chooses not to pay attention.

The posters on here and TN fans in general are insane."I WILL ONLY ACCEPT A COACH THAT WINS 12 GAMES A YEAR, NO LESS.IF THEY CAN'T BEAT BAMA THEN THEY SUCK. WOW THEY HAD A BAD YEAR, NEXT. WOW A COACH THAT WAS MEDIOCRE IN THE NFL, WANT."

While Tennessee is a more attractive job than most,it's not a top tier program like before so those big "sure thing" coaches aren't going to leave their top programs.

Stop being delusional VN

I thought we shouldn't settle again. That is what we would be doing with Mullen.

Mississippi is not bowl eligible. That was their bowl. They're on probation.

Peterson or Patterson then Frost and Kiffin if Mullen is all we can do then go the coordinator route. Mullen is not ever going to win an NC anyhwere . I would like to see Ut win another MC in my life time . I though MS got beat in every aspect of the game tonite

Goodness, people, I don't have Mullen anywhere near the top of my list either. BUT, the guy did lose his starting QB early last night and still competed. They easily could have been blown out in that game (see Butch Jones as Exhibit 1).

I know you don't want Mullen (and I don't necessarily want him, either). But, stop using last night as some kind of referendum on him. It makes you look really dumb and biased.

Turned a slow 6'0", 250-pound quarterback at Bowling Green named Josh Harris into an NFL draft pick.

Turned a two-star QB recruit at Utah into a Heisman finalist and the 1st overall pick in the NFL Draft - beating out Aaron Rodgers as the top QB in the draft class as well

Turned an underachieving QB in Chris Leak, who was on the verge of transferring away, into a national champion starter

Turned Tim Tebow into a Heisman winner, a national champion, and a 1st-round pick

Turned a mid-level recruit in Dak Prescott into a two-time All-SEC pick, an NFL draft pick, and the toast of Dallas

Took Mississippi State to the first #1 ranking in the history of the program

You guys couldn't wait for this night but what you didn't mention is Nick Fitzgerald went down in the 1st quarter with an injury that made everyone in that stadium puke

It is interesting that injuries to key personnel effects the abilities of certain coaches but not others. Sounds a little selective reasoning to me. I guess Mullen gets a pass for not having a solid replacement Fitzgerald from some.

When we talk about Dan Mullen "getting Ms. State to #1", we also need to remember he finished 10-3 and that was his best record ever. The goal is to stay at #1...let's just stop this conversation.

If Mullin wins the Egg Bowl, he probably staying at Miss State.


Now, he might be looking around.


Worth considering, depending who else has shown interest.
