Mullen still talks MSU, without dispelling PSU | Clarion Ledger
"Great," Mullen said, in a wry tone Tuesday afternoon. "I'm sure I'm on everybody's (list). Am I right? Every time a job comes open, doesn't my name come up? So, you know our policy. We talk Mississippi State football. That's all we ever talk about."
Speaking at a regularly scheduled end-of-the-season gathering with reporters Tuesday, Mullen declined to say whether he or his agent, Rick Diamond, had been contacted by Penn State or other schools.

Dan Mullen deflects Penn State report | SBNation
Mississippi St. Bulldogs head coach Dan Mullen, who's been linked by ESPN's Joe Schad to the soon-to-be-open Penn St. Nittany Lions job, didn't say much at his regular Tuesday press conference that will get the hounds off the scent. He may have also requested a spot on the lists of presumed candidates for every other school that needs a new coach. If that was a real thing, it would be an excellent way to troll your friends. Watch as your buddy opens his front door, only to be greeted by a horde of beat writers!
