TN fired Butch. 247 say they?re coming after Mullen.
Good luck to them. They will need it.
Mullen ain't leaving.
Mullen isn’t leaving a 10-11 win team next season for that cluster. They almost can’t affors Dan for what it would take to get him.
I don't know whether their delusion that their job is a shred better than ours, even without considering the current state of each program, is more funny or sad.
I cant imagine anyone leaving a team that will compete for the west next year for a absolute dumpster fire. Stranger things have happened but I consider Dan to be a very intelligent man. He said it last night he aint going anywhere. He came here to win a championship, Dan would go down as one of the greatest coaches in cfb history winning a championship somewhere people say it can?t be done. I think he lives for that. I also get the strange feeling Dans becoming one of us
UT at best, is a lateral job....
I can see Dan Mullen leaving for a Top 5 job. Tier-one schools like Notre Dame, State Penn, Michigan, Ohio State, or USC might get Dan....for a price. If he leaves, he wants to go to a place where he can recruit 5-*'s and doesn't have a psychotic fan base that will give the Mullen family PTSD.
The Mississippi State University has a budget big enough, and an Athletic Director smart enough, to keep Dan here. We ain't "'po 'lil mitipi state" who can't pay their coaches anymore.
The only concern I have is in the media post game presser I watched earlier today he was talking about the fans and the program and talked about "they" instead of "we". It may have been absolutely nothing but it caught my ear that for a second he almost talked about it in a past tense from his end.
It's going to be an interesting coaching search season for sure this year.
I just spent about an hour reading a Mullen thread at Volnation.com, it was 65 pages. The vast majority of their posters felt like Mullen was not good enough for UT.
He's at or near the top of their list. This isn't new info. If he doesn't go there it won't be because of some slive rule that doesn't exist, it will be because he doesn't want it. Obviously, we have some anxious administrators, but we will be prepared either way. This won't be the last job that chases him and sooner or later he will bolt, just part of it. But ut isn't the job it once was for sure.
There is about the same chance of Mullen to Tenn as Belicheck, Walsh, and Jimmy Johnson.
