Fingers crossed its Mullen so we can get Richt.
Schiano is the obvious pick for Miami. Zero buyout. Salary demands would be minimal. Plus no NCAA baggage.
Schiano has really impressed the committee. I think Davis did well in the interview but that baggage right after all of their mess...I don't see it. I think it's between Mullen and Schiano. But who knows.
If Mullen is gone do,you think,Davis would work out here at MSU?
Richt is going to interview at Virginia tomorrow it looks like. Could be a good spot for him if So Car and SEC East is something he wants a change from. Watch out for Maryland again for the loser of the Miami job possibly.
Richt would be a grand slam with every momma in Mississippi. He'd have ties to MS, AL, LA, TX through State and bring his contacts in GA and FL. He'd have a very strong geographic footprint to recruit from.
If Miami has actually made their hire, and it is not out yet who it is, then i would put my money on it being Mullen. They keep it quiet so he can go back and officially address the team before it "goes public". Regardless, this has been an absolute mess of a turd storm for our program whether Mullen leaves or stays. There is some serious damage and baggage if he does the latter - especially with the alums and fans.
Mullen is a better football coach than either of those guys right now. I really think he could do good things anywhere he goes because of the system he runs. Schiano, Davis... these guys will be Al Golden 2.0 and fired in 3 years.
Richt is a guy that would be an upgrade at a place that needs help recruiting just based on his name (like MSU/Virginia/South Carolina).
Their 247 site seems to think it's Richt.
They ranked them in order of most to least likely:
1. Richt
2. Schiano
3. Jones
4. Mullen
Mullen's big obstacle is the buyout clause. It's not huge, but when you're as broke as Miami, and the other three coaches are unemployed, that's a big deal. Salary requirement is also a negative.
What is mullen's buyout?
True. But sounds like he made the decision to interview with them today. Maybe not just the way it was told to me. I actually thought Richt might be, at least, the sentimental favorite for that job. What they, or any one else have to guage with him, how much fire does he have left or does he really need a year off.
We need to waive Mullen's buyout. This is about to be recruiting toxic if he stays.
If Mullen is hired by Miami then Scott needs to be on the phone to set up an interview with Richt pronto.
Yeah, you guys talking about waiving the buyout have lost your collective minds
Exactly. If/when Dan leaves- it's time for us to wish him well and move on. And I really believe we can make a really good hire ourselves and going the South Carolina "retread" approach is possibly a good way for us to go. Jackie worked out very well for us, so there is some precedent.
No kidding. That would be incredibly foolish to waive a buyout clause. We can negotiate on how it's paid out, but I want that money for my next hire and assistant coaches. Not to mention if there is a coach we have to buyout to get or we end up having to buyout assitants.
There's 0 reason to get a head coach who couldn't cut it at a "bigger" school. You go after a coach who can raise your ceiling. Dan's ceiling at MSU is as high as Richt's at Georgia. At best Richt could keep us where we are. I'm still not convinced we've seen Dan's ceiling yet.
So you guys want a coach who's record the last 8 seasons is 8-4 avg in the SEC East with top 5 national talent? We hate Mullen record against top 25 teams but want to hire the guy who's 5-15 in his last 20 games vs ranked opponents with top 5 talent? You bitch & complain about how Mullen can't get us to the next level but want to bring in the guy who couldn't get UGA to the next level with top 5 talent? Yea this sounds logical. Good luck.
Richt's weekly with Bo would be pleasant.
