Shortly after GN published an item calling Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen a viable candidate at Maryland, we received this message from a well-placed source at Mississippi State: “(Coach Mullen) may leave one day, but it won’t be to Maryland.”
Rumors of Mullen leaving Starkville for other coaching opportunities have become a late fall tradition. A brief Google search can find him rumored to dozens of jobs over the past six years, and this year is no exception.
Mullen is 54-35 overall and 26-30 in the SEC in his seven seasons at Mississippi State, which is 8-4 this season.
