Cold feet or maybe just maybe he doesn?t want to leave us.
Schiano could be a nice hire
I've said it all along- it's hard to leave next year's team- thats 9 years of building finally coming to fruition, even for alot more money. Hope he doesnt leave- this team and this recruiting class are crucial for us
Need to make sure we wrap Grantham up too.
Uh Bobby Bowden, Frank Beamer and Bill Snyder all say hello. These are all guys that took over programs that were traditional doormats when they took over and they turned them into winners and stayed there for their entire career. No, its not the norm, but you don't HAVE to move on from somewhere if its a good fit and you want to have "your" program rather than being one in a long line of HCs at some other program. Mullen certainly can make all the money he will ever need staying at MSU.
Was told Grantham would move to 1.5 If that's been on the board, forgive me as I haven't read all the way down. Person who told me may have seen it on here for all I know. Was also told that Cohen laid it out to Mullen and said here's the package, we want you to stay, but we need to know pretty quickly. No begging involved.
All due respect. There never was any hot feet to begin with. Tennessee gonna get who they want. Not the hillbillies but the staff
I’m curious on this. And I freely admit to being stupid. But at what point does more money not matter. When you are clearing millions a year,does a couple more really change the math on your day to day? If you are chasing a championship, I get Florida or FSU but I do not get Tenn, I think that job is fool’s gold.
I’m sure its a personality thing. Some people need a new environment, some people don’t. Saying ALL coaches get burnt out after x number of years is an over generalization. I feel like Dan might have been burned out for a few seasons around years 6-8, he didn’t seem to be this season though. So who knows.
We have been a revolving door for most of our history. We need stability more than anything. We know Mullen is a good coach HERE. We don't know that about any other guy out there you can say that about.
This is my arguement, we shouldn’t roll the dice on a new coach at this point in time with the opportunity we have over the next few years. Last night sucked, but it was not on Mullen like its been in years past.
So with the early signing period looming and a coach having to be in place like tomorrow, and a contract in place to look over, their AD was just to busy to catch a plane? Or could it be that Mullen and Grantham already agreed to an extension before all this got out? I ain’t knocking you or the 247 crew. But if a contract was ready to be signed logistics didn’t cause the meeting to be canceled.
And i trust my source at Tennessee 100%. They gonna have to miss on a few for Dan to get an offer.
That’s the last thing I am gonna say about all this. But as much as you wanna believe your sources are right. I know for a fact mine at UT is right. I never said he couldn’t end up there. I am saying he isn’t their top pick and neither was Gruden
We do change coordinators like spinal tap changes drummers though
Throw enough crap at the wall and some will stick...
Agree. There are certainly faults that Mullen has that I think are keeping him from being a great or elite coach, he is certainly a good coach for us, has the relationships with MS HS coaches and knows our lay of the land. You have to start over with all of that with a new coach. Those kind of things are probably more important in a rural state like MS than it would if you are talking about a coaching job in a more populous state.
I live in Chattanooga and am surrounded by UT fans and media. This is exactly what I have been hearing for the last week to 10 days. In fact, Mullen is far down on the list. He is the "bottom of the barrel" so to speak. They want to make a splash, and Dan is about as small of a splash that they feel they can stand.
There's been a lot of wasted angst on this topic.
