This is a little surprising. Dan has it pretty good at MSU right now. Making 4.5 million a year and no championship expectations from the fan base. He can win 8 or 9 games a year and the fans will be happy. That ain't happening at Tennessee

This would be fine if mullen was in his 60s.

I'll never understand this mindset Nick Saban could've stayed at MSU and won 8 games every year and they would've been happy, but the goal shouldn't be to win 8 games or win just enough to keep a job. These dudes are competitive as hell, and I'm sure he believes he's one of the best coaches in CFB but is handcuffed by States limitations as a program.

Yup. For his age he's maxed out at msu, and if he has a drive to prove it to himself he can be a legendary cfb coach then nowhere better than at UT. Not going to happen at msu. UT is out of the program chernobyl from the fulmer/kiffin debacle, so yeah.

Only thing to me though is how much he is getting paid now. Not sure he is worth 6-7mil, so he will definitely need to be doing it for personal accomplishment reasons as currie better not be getting into a salary war with msu.
