Mullen says he is staying

[Fijivol72]

Mullen said after last night's game he is staying in Starkville to coach the bulldogs. Although I was pretty sure he wasn't headed to Knoxville, it means another big coach is off the table. Currie is headed for failure, mid tier coach here we come.

Hold your head up...Fiji

Mullen was never going to be the reason Currie fails. :boredom:

 

[spudvol]

Good. For us.

Exactly

Typical Sexton move to get his client a raise

Its why Butch hired him

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Fantastic news.

Now we can keep our focus on big & better coaches.

Don't drive your Chevy to the levee just yet my friend, there's still music in the air

FL may be upset. Sounded like Tebow wanted Mullin there when he was on ESPN this morning. He was NEVER coming to the Vols.

Great news!!!!!

Fantastic news.

You think we’d go from being turned down by Mullen to pursuing guys like Gruden, Franklin, and Petersen?
You have more faith in our leadership than I do.

Great news

 

[chipmurphy461]

That is great news!!!!

 

[ukvols]

Great news!!!!!

If not getting Mullen means we hire Campbell or Brohm, then this is potentially great news.
But, I fear that they are not where this ends up.

Would love to have Franklin, but I don't think he would leave PSU...doing too well there...but you never know if someo e is truly happy where they are...VFL

I'm glad Mullen is staying at MS. Tennessee deserves better than him.

Unlikely

No one mentioned in this post is remotely looking for another job much less at Tennessee. The Luster has worn off, Jones has murdered what was left of the program. Start from scratch.

I’m pointing out that I don’t view Mullen passing on us as this ‘fantastic development’ that people are making it out to be.

When coaches say they’re not leaving it’s always true.

Saban said he was the Dolphin's coach right up to the day he was introduced as bummer's HC.

 

[vol-un-tear]

It's Campbell

The media said he was a candidate. I have not seen anything concrete to show we offered Mullen. He DID NOT turn down UT.

 

[Wii60]

He didn't say the magic words. "I am not a candidate for the Tennessee job."

Until people start saying that they are still in contention.

 

[wtorange]

All Mullen said was I plan on being here next year. It was the usual non statement statement.

And Urban was never going to OSU..

Geeze..
