New deal for MSU's Mullen ’95 percent’ agreed upon

MSU's Dan Mullen is already in the midst of discussions with Mississippi State on a new contract. According to the Jackson Clarion-Ledger, the two sides are well on their way towards finalizing what would become a new four-year deal for the second-year head coach. Athletic director Scott Stricklin told the paper that they are on the same page for “95 percent” of the details.

"It’s just a matter of making sure we have something we feel good about going ahead," Stricklin said.

"We’re just trying to wrap up a few things that aren’t major but are things you have to make sure you get right."

In two years at the school, Mullen has led the Bulldogs to a 13-11 mark. MSU will face Michigan in the Gator Bowl New Year’s Day.
