Dan Mullen

[Wrinkle]

It will be Mullen

May all of us have a hype man like Matt Barrie.

And while he is an Arizona State grad, guess who he is repped by (bonus if you know who helped sign his ESPN extension in 2022.)

I don’t know…but I do know Matt’s wife who is lovely.

Sorry I had to

Thinking this through logically, there are a few possible situations right?

1. Mullen is the guy - they're joking around with him a bit and trolling us. Fair enough I guess.

2. Mullen is not the guy - they're joking about the rumors. Kind of mean to him if he wanted the job.

3. Mullen was never interested or in the mix - they're joking about the rumors. Fair enough, but reputable posters confirm he was on campus right? (I haven't read the entire thread.)

4. Mullen is in the mix and it's not finalized - I'm pretty sure they'd be keeping their mouths shut.

So if my logic is sound, he's either the guy or he was never interested.

The thing is, major people aren’t talking about it. Thamel staying completely silent on it is not a small thing. So why would they troll a fan base like ours? One that sends all their damn producers that help them carry out their jobs.

Barry has brought it up more than any other major news source. My gut says he’s just having fun with Dan because he knows what’s happening. Mullen himself never seems to comment.

It's disrespectful to joke with your friend on TV?

No but it’s disrespectful to Syracuse if we reached out and he laughed at us

 

[DPCuse]

It's disrespectful to joke with your friend on TV?

If it jeopardizes the deal by making it public? yes.

 

[orange_cream]

Maybe Mullen said I’m only coming if the pee troughs are reinstalled at the Dome, and the delay is because Wildhack is trying to find a pee trough manufacturer?

 

[Wrinkle]

If it jeopardizes the deal by making it public? yes.

Do you think Mullen would be laughing and allowing this to continue if that was the case? I mean what dude

Nah not this time.

You don't think because of in studio commitments all day that a few discussions might not take place over zoom? I had a final interview with a CEO over Zoom. High level discussions take place all the time over Zoom. Since Mullen was in town Wed (confirmed by 3 insiders), it's possible that it's been Zoom calls due to ESPN commitments in between. If things go well, he comes Sunday or Monday.

I can confirm that this is 100% true. I’ve had offers post Zoom interviews and had to ask to meet people in person before selecting the offer that makes the most sense for me. We live in a different world today.

Also a fair point

Mullen has been on tv all weekend. Barrie trolled him about us twice and Mullen said nothing. He could have said, "I'm happy where I am, I'm not getting back into coaching". Silence is golden...or should I say silence is Mullen?

That’s why I don’t think Mullen is coming here. I think you laugh if you know its a joke or not real.

 

[RandomGuy]

Or maybe he’s having fun because he enjoys working with him and knows it’s coming to an end soon?

Or his sandbag tweet (mullen to cuse) had over 300k hits... good for biz.

 

[Wrinkle]

That’s why I don’t think Mullen is coming here. I think you laugh if you know its a joke or not real.

And you'd be stonefaced and grumpy otherwise? Idk I don't follow the thinking

 

[SWC75]

Just let things take their course or you'll wind up looking like this:

 

[Orangepace]

I’ll say this, if it’s not Mullen, Barrie can see me in hell.

I’ll be there with you. Bringing all my bourbon. We will have fun with Mr Barrie.

 

[Toga]

When is Julius Hodge announcing?

 

[DPCuse]

And you'd be stonefaced and grumpy otherwise? Idk I don't follow the thinking

When I bust balls with my buddies, we laugh. It’s funny.

 

[007]

The idea that Mullen would be interested in Syracuse is so ludicrous that they’re mocking it. And us.

And all the SU alums that work at ESPN...

I think (hope) it's more likely they are just busting on Mullen

 

[orange79]

...

...

Nah not this time.

Wait until the ink is dry.

 

[dasher]

I was thinking about this and then Franz posted what I was thinking. It would be very easy for Dan to just say where do these rumors start? Shake his head and end all of this talk. He hasn't done that.

Bro he can be busting his balls about TAKING the job too

 

[OrangeXtreme]

I was told there would be a leak tonight followed by a confirmation tomorrow and a press conference Monday at 11am. Where is my leak?

Here's your leak:

This is what I want to believe but it could be interpreted many different directions
