Thats just now the way it goes in the coaching industry. You win other school seek to talk to you. Hud may or may not be staying that choice is his to make all I can do is make this job look better for the next guy. By continuing to support this great University. I truly believe it will take more than one coach to build us where we want to be. If it is Hud great if not Scott will find the next one who just might be better than Hud. Will we loose recruits that is yet to be seen. It would be there loss to not want to live in Lafayette and attend one of the best Universities in the South. See ya in New Orleans.

If he's good enough to build our program, he's good enough to interview for SEC jobs. You can't have it both ways, Orestes.

Since when did this become about how good of a coach he is? I think he's a great coach. That's exactly the reason I want him to want to be here as much as he acted like he did. Interviewing for Ole Miss?!?!?! Come on Man!!!

I think thats dancing the dance. He has made it no secret he wants the MSU job. Maybe he figured he needs to polish up his interview skills?

I can give you about 12,500,000 reasons to interview with Ole Miss.. That is roughly the value of a 5 year deal there for a head coach.

STARKVILLE — Dan Mullen vehemently denied a report today that he is expected to interview for the Penn State job in the coming days.

The Penn State affiliate of Rivals.com reported Friday afternoon, via tweet, that Mullen will interview for the job Monday.

When asked point blank if he will interview for the Penn State job Monday, Mullen said, succinctly, “No.”

Mullen, who denied a Jackson television report Tuesday that he was “close” to signing a deal with Penn State, admitted that he was tired of speaking about the reports linking him to Penn State. He said he was breaking “policy” when speaking with The Clarion-Ledger in a phone interview Friday about other schools and job openings.

“Amidst all of these reports, neither myself, my agent or the administration at Mississippi State University has been contacted by anybody at Penn State,” Mullen told The Clarion-Ledger. “I’m very happy of the direction the Mississippi State program is going in right now.”

Nope.

I hear ya, but some people have the kind of integrity and patience that transcends the 'quick buck'. There's no reason to think that amount, or more, wouldn't have been available to him at a better program in a couple of years.

It's liable to be moot now anyhow. I guess we'll know more Monday.

Hope you all have a nice weekend.
