Dan Mullen to Mississippi State

Pat Forde at ESPN.com is reporting that the Bulldogs will hire Florida offensive coordinator Dan Mullen as their next head coach. It is still uncertain whether or not Mullen will remain with the Gators through the National Championship game, or if he'll leave for Starkville to hit the recruiting trail right away (as did David Cutcliffe at Ole Miss in 1998 before the Vols played for the crystal ball).

I'm not sure you call it overcorrection, but hiring the playcaller for the Gators is a good start on curing what ails your offense. And whether Mullen stays or goes, I'd say nobody likes this news more than the Sooners today.
