ESPN reporting:

If the pedophile enablers can land Dan Mullen, who is supposed to be high on their list, then that leaves an opening at Mississippi State. Ole Miss is run by buffoons so they won't hire Mark Hudspeth, but I truly believe that Mississippi State would interview and offer Hud the job pretty quickly. Their fans all want him and he wants to be there.


Another scenario to worry about is Larry Fedora being hired by Ole Miss, but once again I don't see Ole Miss fans being ok with hiring Southern Miss's coach. However, if Ole Miss does reach out and snag Fedora then there's another open job in Mississippi and we don't have the same amount of money as USM. We can offer Hudspeth close to what they can, but they can offer him more money and a chance to be back home in Mississippi.


Once you get over the depression, this is kind of fun.

Also he would be taking over a program in excellent shape, and has been for most of my adult life. Just thinking the football gods are not going to take us down this year.

Penn State is in great shape talent wise. Not on probation, can go to bowls, has all of it's 85 grant and aid available, can be on television, and still has over a hundred million people living within 100 miles for it's recruiting base. Another top guy coaching at Miami might be willling to leave there as he was not aware of all the troubles they were in.

Mullen is said to be the brains behind Urban Myles. He got Urban a lot of great players, and when he left Florida went downhill.

Mullen and Tebow left at the same time and by then Cam Newton left the program so Urban was in a tough spot.

Dan Mullen top candidate for Penn St. job opening.

It would be between Diaz and Hud.

Does anybody not have any faith any more? We must remember that it takes two to tango. Remember that while HUD's resume' is incredible to us, there will be big money donors at other schools who may not feel as comfortable with his percieved lack of experience at the upper college level. There is that to weigh against HUD's captivating personality & ultra-positive energy level.

Assuming that all of these jobs are filled & HUD doesn't get or take one of them for whatever reason. UL, having played in the first bowl of the year, with a great fan presence , will have a huge, Huge, HUGE leg up in the recruiting process. It is time to buy tickets & time to show support for Farmer, HUD, & the UL team.

Not that dumb. If Mullen goes to Penn State, "this joker is done at UL"

Hope I'm wrong!

____ that!! Dont let him leave, he signed a contract.. Hold him to it. He started a job, he needs to finish it!! How does that look when you do a job for one year then bail out to go somewhere else.. Build your track record here to make your resume look better for a bigger job... Miss St is an SEC graveyard... Too hard to recruit there

Apparently someone hasn't watched college football that much over the past umpteen years...contract...hold him to it...I needed a good laugh today. Thanks.

How much is recruiting going to be hurt by all of this? How many recruits will be hesitant to sign here because of the uncertainty of how long Hud will be here? If he leaves, obviously we will lose some commitments, but even if he stays, will we lose some? And how many guys that are considering us now wont come because they dont have any idea who their coach will be over the next 4-5 years? I think that this is the worst part of all of this.

It obviously wasn't just rumors, he interviewed with Ole Miss. And now? I'm more than sure he's interested in filling the slot at MSU if Mullen goes to Pedd State.

Dude, you must not keep up with the world of sports. Most contracts are not worth the paper they are written on!

Contract or not, slavery was outlawed. The good news is there is (hopefully) a buyout to help with the next coaching search. Having said that, he may not even get the job; who knows. Whoever the Coach is next season, he will be paid well. This will help in the selection process if Hud does leave. I have faith in Farmer to find us another good one.

It definitely isn't positive right now.

However if we weather this storm, I think it can be argued that recruiting is actually helped by having a coach who is sought after. It means the coach will have respect and fringe SEC talent will feel comfortable latching onto a "big name" at a small school.

I dunno, I'm prolly reaching here..

Not harder than recruiting for UL, particularly since most of HUD'S recruits have come from Mississippi!! If State wants HUD, go right ahead, and MAKE THEM PAY FOR IT!!! .~..~..~.

And, the one guy who could put all the rumors to rest? Well he hasn't come out publicly to do anything....


Oh wait, he did. He came out publicly to say he pulled his name out of the running at Ole Miss. Speaks volumes.

I don't think it hurts us any at all. Let's face it. There are coaches in bowl games & coaches getting fired. In several cases there are coaches in bowl games getting fired. Either your coach is getting fired, on the hot seat, or rumored to be leaving for another job somewhere else. Is there anything in between anymore? I mean let's face it. With the exception of very few coaches any more, that's the way it is.

Mullen aint going anywhere... Why would you leave an SEC school to go to a big 10 school? PSU will look at rutgers head coach or boston college head coach... They know the area to recruit better... Mullen has it too good at MSU

One of the articles said we also need to be worried about Hud going with Mullen to Penn State to be a co-ordinator. As much as losing him to another mid-major would suck, losing him to a job as an assistant would really be tough to take.

I highly doubt that. Why would he leave for an OC position when he is already on a short list for Head coaching gigs?

That article also said if HUD leaves most if not all of his assistants would follow. That would be tough to overcome. Start from a clean slate again?!?
