My Take
What I respect most about Dan Mullen is his refusal to stay comfortable. After nearly a decade building Mississippi State and a solid run at Florida, he could have settled into the broadcast booth for good — the ABC and ESPN work was steady and low-risk. Instead he chose UNLV, a program with everything still to prove. That tells me coaching is not a job for him but an identity. His arc reads like a classic story: success, exile, reflection, return. Plenty of coaches chase prestige; Mullen seems to chase the work itself, and I suspect Las Vegas will benefit from a man carrying both scars and perspective.
