MSU's Dan Mullen gets his extension, raise

Mississippi State announced Thursday afternoon that Mullen and the school have reached an agreement on an extended contract that will pay the coach an average of $2.65 million annually. His previous contract paid him $1.5 million in 2010.

That is why it pays to have your name attached to openings, whether you’re actually interested or not.

"We’re very happy, my wife and I, to be staying here, and hopefully for a long time to come," Mullen said following today’s practice. "Really excited with the direction the program is going, with the leadership of Scott and within the athletic department, and with Dr. Mark Keenum. The vision they have, and the vision I have, everybody’s on the same page. We see a great future at Mississippi State, and we’re going to do some great things."
