After seeing Mississippi State football give a lackluster effort and get dominated by Auburn, many fans are ready for a coaching change.  Much to their chagrin, that change isn’t coming this year.

This is a part of the unfairness of college football.  Dan Mullen has consistently exceeded expectations at Mississippi State.  He has been handsomely rewarded for doing so.  If Mullen didn’t receive the raise from Mississippi State football, he’d shop himself elsewhere.

He has consistently exceeded expectations.  He has shopped himself nearly every offseason.  Now Mullen is handsomely rewarded for his past efforts.  The problem, though, is there is no real alternative course when Mullen underachieves or no longer wants to be a part of Mississippi State football.

After losing to South Alabama, LSU and being embarrassed by Auburn, many in the Mississippi State football family are eager to be rid of Dan Mullen.  It appears, as well, that Dan Mullen no longer wants to be a part of Mississippi State football.

Even though it appears that both sides are mutually looking for a separation, Dan Mullen will still be leading Mississippi State football in the 2017 season.  We’re going to take a look at why here.
