We told you to get ready for a wild ride and apparently it’s already starting with Dan Mullen possibly heading to Florida after all.
Gainesville sports radio host and author Buddy Martin has been going live for about two weeks now (okay, not all the time, but a lot of it) and he’s reporting that the Mississippi State coach is headed there.
He is reporting this morning that Mullen has been offered the job and that Florida athletics director Scott Stricklin was in Mississippi for most of the holiday weekend, including slipping into the Egg Bowl on Thanksgiving night.
How does this affect Arkansas’ coaching search?
You can bet the Bulldogs will be going hard after Memphis coach Mike Norvell, who is reportedly on the Razorbacks’ radar as well.
It also means Central Florida coach Scott Frost, who will meet Memphis in the All American Conference championship game Saturday morning, is likely headed to Nebraska.
With the news that former Rutgers coach Greg Schiano is being offered the Tennessee job Sunday morning that takes one of the premier jobs off the market (raise your hand if you saw that coming).

All of which means the game of musical chairs has started.
And you don’t want to be the one left standing at the end.
