You are overvaluing Mullen.

Which is why I said even that is questionable.

Who else is there?

Obviously ANY hire has a certain amount of risk involved.

A lot of people love Gary Patterson, but I'm not sure he's a fit for the recruiting and arms race that is the SEC... doesn't seem to suit his personality.

I think Harbaugh would be a slam dunk, but he's likely NFL bound.

Chris Petersen? Is he another in the line of above average or failure coaches to come from Boise?

I personally think Malzahn would be an outstanding hire, but there's a tremendous amount of risk associated with that.

There's just no candidates out there right now like there have been the past few years (Brian Kelly last year, Urban a few years ago, Rich Rod a few years ago).

You either have to go with a re-tread or NFL failure (which may work out) or someone who is unproven to some extent.
