Depends on when the decisions were made. He could easily cancel that interview with Virginia tomorrow.

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.
