re: Volquest reporting Dan Mullen will interview with Tennessee Friday after the Egg Bowl

Tn is going to have a hard time being nationally relevant again. In the 90s they were able to recruit well due to their large stadium and thus they got a lot more Tv exposure and $$$. Now that everyone is on TV a lot, they lost a huge recruiting edge.

Since all SEC schools get a lot of money from TV contracts, all of us can spend money (perhaps too much) on coaches. MSU can match Tn on money unless you go to a crazy number that is far more than his worth -- and going to that crazy number would get any coach a short leash at their new school.

It's almost like you're arguing that MSU is a better job and the program ceiling is higher than it would be at TN.

Finally, Mullen has MSU poised to start the season top 15 next year (with basically everyone returning) and can make another run at the CFP -- Tn is a multi year rebuild.

Bless your heart. You just needed a Bert gift to beat an Arky team that's already quit. I have a feeling MSU fans would be feeling a lot differently had Bert not gifted you that game.

CFP?!?!? Please tell me where you see 11-1 on this schedule.

You have a guaranteed L @ Bama. Not easy to talk CFP with a game you absolutely won't win on your schedule.
