After what most are calling a successful first year at the helm of the Mississippi State football program, Dan Mullen may soon be on the hunt again to replace at least 2 assistant coaches.

Multiple sources (Kansas City Star, Denver Post) are reporting that defensive coordinator Carl Torbush will be announced as the new defensive coordinator at Kansas, coaching under Turner Gill. I am not sure what the connection is here. Gill and Torbush haven't crossed paths anywhere in their coaching careers, other than both being assistants for colleges in Texas. It looks like Gill is trying to build up a veteran staff around him.

Footballscoop.com is reporting rumors that Mark Hudspeth has spoken with the AD at Louisiana-Monroe about their head coaching vacancy. There are also several other names associated with that coaching search.
