Unlinked story since its SDS trolling. In short, title said Mullen got passed over for Taggart. -Hack
Can't be true. Just drummed up BS by I Seen It.
Mullen wasn't gonna go to Oregon, offered or not
They're just citing the same source that ESPN did, who again, apparently knew so much about the search that he had no idea Taggart was a finalist until he was hired. This is how one single source can lead to a multitude of articles that makes it appear as unquestionable truth.Quote:

I actually don't think he would have either. I also don't think Mr. Nike wanted to pay $18 million to have Dan Mullen coach his team the next 2 years and that's what this would've cost him.Quote:

Leave it to SDS though to phrase the headline like he was trying for it, when in reality the root source was unnamed and simply said he was Oregon's second choice.Quote:

Please lock this thread.
Well they are factually wrong since Rhule was 1st choice and turned it down. Taggert was second choice.
And you're buying it?Quote:

Oregon isn't concerned about money. Believe me, they spend money like water on everything. Salary is no different.
EAV - I get that, but they didn't fire their coach to the tune of $9 million to hire Taggart or Mullen. They swung high and struck out. Now, unlike they planned, they're going to be upwards of $15 million in the hole for Taggart as their head coach. Bad decisions.
Smoot - Mullen's name was squarely involved in their process. Whether he said screw off or whether they did is irrelevant to me. He's still here.
Why would Rhule go to Baylor over Oregon?Quote:

Supposedly thought it was better fit, much better recruiting area and this is just speculating but it probably boiled downed to Baylor made a better financial deal.Quote:
