Oregon fans were hoping he'd be their new DC.

Don't be surprised if he is named DC/LB coach & DeShea is given the Co-DC/CB coach title. DeShea wants to be a DC, so this may open the door for at least a title promotion for him and a little more responsibility. Also would explain why the Buckley hire was made & announced first. Just a thought & theory.
I would feel much better about this hire than Rhoads...hands down.

Buckley hasn't been announced officially yet by State. Also, wasn't DT the DC last year in the bowl game....

I tell ya, Mullen is a hell of a hirer, outside Hev.
This shouldn't be a surprise since he's also a good talent evaluator. People who are good at evaluating players are many times also good at hiring. They are fairly similar.

Also note how this will all be done and announced just in time for our first big visit weekend. Granted I'd love to have landed a whale of a DC but I'll take it. I like going the up and comer route in lieu of the re-tread. Even if it means we're sort of a revolving door at DC.
Like the recruiting angle.

Pretty sharp young coach. Went from GA to LB coach in one year at TN. That's a quick rise. I am surprised Dan is thinking of going with someone with no DC experience. Must have gotten a real good reference from Wilcox and Helton on how much input and how ready he is to call plays.

Pretty sure Buckley is official.

Sounds like Cadaver might be on to something with the Co-DC idea.

He's unofficially official
He is already recruiting for us, but there has not been a formal press release on his hiring and we don't yet know his title and if it includes recruiting coordinator.

Looks like it's a good thing Allen didn't want to accept the Non-compete. USC hires Pendergast who is going to be allowed to bring in some more NFL coaches I was just told... So even though it's risky with him never being a DC.. he is a good choice I believe... and sure can't ignore his recruiting...
-
I still think Allen would have been great, but if rumors are true and he didn't like the non-compete it's best for both parties for him not to be here anyway.
I do like that this is Mullen swinging for the fences if this is the guy.

Oregon all but confirmed Sirmon to State.

Can confirm he won't be taking a job at Oregon in any capacity.
Expect an announcement on his job status (not at oregon) soon.

Where is he from? Choosing us over Oregon is surprising really

Seriously, if he is so intertwined with Bucky that he would turn down an SEC DC job because he couldn't go from there to another SEC DC job then good riddance. We didn't need him.

Good lord, this is definitely a gamble. He has the shortest resume of any DC candidate I've seen. He could be a homerun or could blow up in our face. Damn, Townsend has a better resume than him. Mullen must be hearing something amazing from his former employers.
