Listened to Rosebowl's BSR show yesterday and he did a pretty good job of recapping the total failure of our OL recruiting over the past 5 years. THAT is what made us a 1983 Monte Carlo this year. Should have never happened that way but it did, so in that respect, yea, we were pretty lucky we won 8 games. It was pretty difficult to do as bad as we've done in OL recruiting recently even with lily white recruiting practices.Quote:

Miami interviewed Mullen, Butch and Schiano. Talking with Richt today, per source.
Why should a coach not take a call from who ever calls? He owes it to his family to see what is out there. I understand we love our university, but damn guys, this is a job to Dan. He's dosen't owe us a thing.
Same here, I'm good with Mullen (with some changes) but the man is looking for another job. To say he's not actively looking and looking hard is inconceivable.

He didn't have to move when we gave up 95 yard TD runs and let Engram torch us on a couple of slant routes. The defense killed us.Quote:

The first two blowouts were blowouts because we had two DC's that had checked out, one of which was incompetent to begin with. That's still on Mullen that managed twice in three years to have a DC that was pissed off at him by the end of the year, and that's a significant problem, but not exactly the same as a coach taht gets blown out simply because he's overmatched.Quote:

Talking to Maryland and Miami, programs not as good as ours, probably not willing to pay what he's making here unless they hamstring the program in other ways, says a lot about his level of commitment (or lack thereof) to this program.Quote:

He's exploring options - this is big business. he don't have his bags by the door. relax and see. my wayQuote:

That post is the only thing that many have jumped on as evidence of any Maryland connection and it was blatantly false.Quote:

To me, there is a difference between 'talking to other teams' and actually having a formal interview. I'm sure Saban talked to Texas, but he didn't interview with the AD. I'm fine with Mullen exploring his options. Flying to other cities and having interviews during Egg Bowl week (if true) would make me angry.Quote:

To some just getting or making a call and talking about the job is an interview. I'm kind of like you probably, an official interview is totally different and usually takes place at their site or a neutral site for an extended period of time and I am probably one of the top vetted candidates they have.Quote:

Which are not always right. North Texas have hired their 3 coach in 2 days according to reports, UCF is on there 2 coach in 2 days, etc. These reports can't get the actual hires right a lot of the time, much less who is actually interviewing.Quote:

But any fall out is mullen's fault
Seems pretty damn logical... If I was in his shoes, that's the exact thing I would've done.
What ever happened to coaches telling their fan base that they will only leave in a pine box.
