Evidence that Dan was shopping himself before the Egg Bowl

If you go back and listen to him during his halftime sideline interview in the 11am UMass game you can here he's made his mind up to leave. He was complaining about the crowd leading up to that game and he references it during the interview. To me that tells me he was searching for reasons to ok his decision to leave to himself. He was making excuses then on why he should leave. "Oh look they won't fill the stadium even after I asked them all week to fill the stadium". **** Dan. Looks to me like he told himself "either sell out the 11am game or I am leaving" knowing full well we wouldn't have a sellout during an 11am game vs UMass.

Why in the world did he ever schedule UMass anyway? Probalby most of us didn't even know they had a football team before we played them the first time.

An audition for a future HC gig? Face it. Mullen may wind up there in four years after Flarda shitcans him (and Strick) in three years. There, he can keep his Country Club, be close to New Hampshire, run the Boston Marathon, go hiking in Europe, have down time away from coaching/recruiting, and keep a seven figure salary. You know, all the things he did here as an SEC HC that no other SEC school would have put up with.

I maybe wrong, but I think that was the year Tulane dropped us suddenly and we had to reach out and find a home game to make up. UMass wasthe only one we could find.
