Dan Mullen — Mississippi State Head Coach

This is still like the most likely coach for the Vols next season.

Mullen’s Mississippi State team nearly lost on the road to Arkansas on Saturday, but they continued to fight, even after they were down 14-0, and they were able to come away with the win.

Sometimes you just have to find a way to win, and that’s what Mullen’s team did on Saturday.

Mississippi State isn’t the most talented team in the SEC (in fact, they’re probably one of the least talented), but they are a well coached team.

I think Mullen would excel with the resources that Tennessee would provide.
