The first, and most obvious, thing that would point in the direction of Dan Mullen not really wanting to be at MSU is his body language. It’s the biggest gripe I’ve seen after the horrible losses to USA and Auburn.
The show of emotion he exhibited for the South Carolina game seems like it was just a one time deal. Brian Hadad of Bulldog Sports Radio compared it to a husband whose wife has asked him repeatedly to take out the trash, he does it once to satisfy her and then never does it again.
There are players committing personal fouls that would have resulted in getting absolutely chewed out on the sidelines in year’s past, but now Mullen just shrugs his shoulders.
