re: Can you talk me out of thinking Dan Mullen wouldn't be a bad choice?

Mullen has a pretty good track record. I think with him being at Miss St. people seem to have forgotten about him. Coach O won 2 SEC games while head coach in Mississippi. Mullens record speaks for itself, and again, #1 at some point at MSU. Tell me that's easy to do.

IMO, Mullen would do what he could to keep most of the staff intact.
