Well, Mississippi State wrapped up its coaching search in a short 11 days, hiring Florida offensive coordinator Dan Mullen according to the Clarion-Ledger.

Mullen has been attached to Urban Meyer's side the last eight years, with Bowling Green, Utah and Florida, so he knows a thing or two about winning.

Interestingly, Mullen's name came up Sunday when Meyer admitted that Mississippi State made contact with the Florida assistant. Mullen denied any contact on Monday.

I would guess that's how this Auburn search will unfold, with the eventual hire denying any interest up until his introductory press conference.
