I was just looking at Miss. State's year so far and they have quietly posted a 7-2 record and nice ranking for the first time in fo-evah. Strangely, with the offensive prowess of Mullen, they're doing a lot of it with defense, giving up only 17 points per game. Bama and Arky are up next with the Egg Bowl after that. If they somehow pulled a 2-1 record out of that, Mullen would have to get some real recognition for Corch of the Year (Well behind The Chin, of course)
With his assistant corching resume and a pretty stout body of work at a very tough place to win, does MSU have what it takes ($$$) to keep this guy? Should Richt get popped by AU and GT, do they punt him and offer Mullen? Would Colorado come calling? I don't know what MSU pays but I wouldn't imagine they could match some of the bigger playas in D1. If he somehow beats Bama next week, does that put this guy on the map as one of the hot commodities in Corching?
Thoughts?
