Bulldog Backer PMed me a pretty solid report. I'm thankful for that. He seems fairly confident that if Mullen said he's not coming, he means it.
Since joining the 247 network we have had a good core of people with good "inside" information. Bulldog Backer has been, in the past, one with good info as well as some others that have graced this site. But with any good info minds can still be changed. I might look foolish in the end by saying this, but when it comes to Mullen he gives it to you straight. He has never waivered from anything that I can think of except maybe gametime depth chart changes. So if he endeed told players he is staying I believe him. He said the same thing when Miami and Florida came calling, so.

If he told to players he is staying, he needs to fess up and tell them he didn't have an offer. Don't go around pimping yourself saying you have an offer you don't have. That will come back and bit you in the as*.

Mississippi State football coach Dan Mullen vehemently denied a Jackson WAPT-TV report that he is close to a deal with Penn State.
“Yeah I heard about the TV report," Mullen said Tuesday night at the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Museum in Jackson. “It’s the most irresponsible reporting that I’ve ever heard of.”
Mullen said he had not been so much as contacted by Penn State “or any other school.”
Mullen, in town for the Conerly Trophy presentation dinner, then took it a step further.
“I blame it on rival institutions trying to ruin our recruiting which we have dominated in this state over the past three years,” Mullen said.
WAPT reported that “Sources close to Mississippi State University’s program have said that football coach Dan Mullen is close to signing a deal t replace Joe Paterno at Penn State.”
Mississippi State athletic director Scott Sticklin, also attending Monday’s Conerly Trophy presentation, also denied the WAPT report.
Said Stricklin: “They quoted a source close to the school. I can’t imagine who that could be, because I haven’t been contacted by Penn State and Dan hasn’t been contacted by Penn State. It’s not a story, period.”
Contacted by The Clarion-Ledger about his station’s report, Ray Coleman of WAPT said: “According to my source, Penn State was going to make an announcement today that Dan Mullen would be the next head coach.”
Late Tuesday, Joe Gailbraith, a spokesman for the MSU football program, posted on his Twitter account the following: “Kind of WAPT’s Ray Coleman to come to the Hall of Fame to apologize for station’s erroneous report.”
Meanwhile, Mullen was asked if he had an idea what rival school might have planted the story.
“You take it from there,” he said.
Earlier today, ESPN college football reporter Joe Schad and the Scranton (Pa.) Times, citing unidentified sources, reported that Mullen is Penn State’s top target.
Mullen has posted a 20-17 record in three years at MSU. He led the Bulldogs to a 9-4 record last season, including a 52-14 win against Michigan in the Gator Bowl. MSU is 6-6 this season and is bowl-eligible in back-to-back seasons for the first time in 11 years.
Mullen, a New Hampshire native, has ties to Pennsylvania and his father is a Penn State alum.
Paterno was fired after 46 seasons after child sex abuse charges against former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky surfaced earlier this month.
Penn State formed a search committee on Monday and has begun arranging interviews, according to ESPN.
In an interview in Starkville this afternoon, Mullen said he considered the rumors and potential interest from other programs “great” for Mississippi State.
“I think it’s great for the program,” he said. “… There are two rumors about you: either rumors you’re going somewhere or rumors you’re getting fired. So, I’ll take the going-somewhere rumor better than the getting-fired rumor.”

So is PSU a steppingstone. You just don't know it because your last coach was there since the Eisenhower administration. Any great coach will not have PSU on his list of great programs. PSU has not performed that well in the past twenty years.
