Whats funny is he promised to bring Manny with him to Miami and they got him anyway but didnt hire Mullen.
Under Armour guy was a walkon football player at Maryland. The number I heard was Dan getting 5 Mill per year for 5 years. Also getting facility upgrades to make them more competitive. I think the money had him planning on going but then UGA and Miami both were more of what he wanted.
