Mike Slive before he retired put it in that no SEC schools would poach other SEC schools head coaches unless they have been fired or resigned. Mullen WILL NOT BE THE NEXT HEAD COACH AT GEORGIA!! Thank you Slive.

or resigned.

That's Freeze's dream job or at least that was told when Florida went after him last year.

Mullen can't resign and then immediately take the UGA job. It has to be a forced resignation. In that scenario UGA would be poaching our head coach and that's no longer allowed thanks to Slive.

I want believe you, but I would like to see it written as an SEC regulation somewhere. I still believe if a coach wanted to leave bad enough for another sec job it could happen...

Exactly. They can't tell you you can't take a job for more money. They can discourage it, but they can't keep Georgia from offering, nor can they keep Mullen/Freeze whoever from accepting.

When is the last time it happened? Tubberville? It's extremely frowned upon. Slive mentioned it many times. It weakens the SEC if head coaches get poached by other SEC members.

Mullen has a pretty good gig where he is. 4 mil per year at a school with a historically poor record of accomplishments on the gridiron. He's made it through the tough part of the rebuilding job. A lot of coaches don't make it to year 7. Especially when at a historically good program. Texas immediately comes to mind. I don't see Charlie Strong making it to year 7. Not to mention Bielema, Sumlin and Malzahn in our own conference. They certainly have the resources to succeed, but time will tell Butch Jones better keep improving himself.

The only thing that will take Mullen away is if he is just hellbent on vying for a national championship. And before you say he can do that here, there are a lot of places that provide a lot smoother road to a championship than at MSU. That's just being realistic. UCS is one of those. The only reason I don't think he'll end up there is the style of offense I believe they want to run. They may not care about that, but historically they have run a pro style offense which I don't see Mullen running. Georgia is also an easier place to win a championship.

Hopefully the aforementioned comments of not poaching from other teams is a reality and we won't have to worry about it.

The SEC isn't stupid. If a member decides to go against the grain they will be ostracized for it and if it's in writing they will face stiff penalties probably resulting in forfeiting a shit ton of money. It won't happen. Mullen isn't Saban. UGA won't put themselves in timeout while everyone else enjoys the pizza party just to hire Mullen. Saban yes. Mullen no.

Meg Mullen likes the grocery stores at Stark Vegas, so do her parents.

While true- it doesnt mean the new Commish will enforce that unwritten rule

I agree. Doubt it will happen. Just saying I don't think it's impossible.

My big fear is that Mullen knows he's done great things and is losing Dak...so rather than risk wearing out his welcome & getting impatient fans frustrated over the next season or two...he could strike while his stock is high and get a huge payday and chance at an easier road to a Championship.

Hopefully he thinks he can win one here, because I feel like he knows we can pay him and he has pretty awesome job security

[MafiaDawg]

Sankey worked under Slive for years. I would think that they saw eye to eye on this type of thing. It's pretty clear that It does hurt the leagues rep if coaches left within the conference.

If this is true, then why does UGA not have more than 1 NC in the modern era of college football, 1 baseball NC, and nothing else other than gymnastics and tennis??? GT has as many modern NC's as UGA.

The reality is it isn't any easier at UGA then it is anywhere else, especially now. The playing field is far more level and far more competitive then ever.

Because Richt does less with more. It's easier to win a NC at UGA than MSU without question. UGA is in the East, and has several recruiting advantages over us.

It's clear that Tennessee and Florida are on the ups. The path isn't as easy as it once looked.

Which is why everyone is upset with Richt, he had a window to own the east and wasted it, he let Mizzou take it hahaha! Now Tenn and UF are coming back, and if USCjr makes a good hire they may cause some difficulty as well. Richt absolutely wasted key chances to own an easy east

Florida supposedly went after Freeze last year ... So where was the Slive rule then? Did it come afterwards?

Florida didnt offer Freezus anything
