This thread is the new Alice’s Restaurant. We should all read it again every Thanksgiving.

Leads me to believe that if he was infact on campus, it was strictly as a consultant/opinion conversation with wildhack.

Or it was a good opportunity and the type of thing he would consider if he got back into coaching. Either way, it helps that he's not coaching somewhere else. It wasn't us lol

After Fran takes us to the National Championship game this season and then heads to Arkansas we will be able to revisit this thread next year. Haha.

That the Mullen you were seeking was inside you the entire time?

 

[TheHaze315]

Greatest thread I have ever been apart of.

This thread should be pinned.

I've learned nothing!

Well, that's always been true. My mom's maiden name is Mullen.

Cardiac Flying guy went to Indiana today (Fort Wayne). I can't quit him.

We had our Mullen all along.

Yep, I checked with my mom and she doesn't think we are related to Dan Mullen. But, my grandfather was fire chief in Utica back in the 60's...so there's that.

That it was Barzini all along?

The real Dan Mullen was in our hearts all along.

So I’m disappointed that it’s not Mullen, but I reached out to a few people on Mullen. My #1 go to source had absolutely no info on Mullen throughout the weekend. Nada.

Some other people I trust, had heard things, but nothing really specific…or some elements that didn’t make sense. It seemed like it could have been a giant game of telephone.

Yet another person who I know has solid source thought very early on that this had no legs. So I was somewhat skeptical, but hopeful.

Maybe the school had kept this really tight? Maybe the sources people are quoting are agent or search firm related?

But I tried to warn people when KBRP212 posted his info, that I would not be so quick to dismiss his info because he’s not a prominent poster.

I’ve been moderating these boards forever, the biggest misconception is that the more you post the better your sources. You have to judge the info, not the poster.

He had more detail is his info than anyone else, but it wasn’t what people wanted to hear.

The absolute worst aspect of all of this is that somehow, the university will get blamed for dropping the ball on a negotiation that I’m not sure ever took place.

Maybe it did, maybe it didn’t, But I have absolutely no solid info to make me believe it ever occurred - not that my sources are the end all be all.

Just trying to provide some reasoned perspective.

Perhaps KBRP212 had more detail, but some of that detail was inaccurate. He said his brother’s buddy owned an Enterprise dealership, when Enterprise doesn’t franchise. I was 100% judging the info.

That it was Barzini all along?

No, I learned not to go into the back room of a dodgy third-rate liquor store until Dan Mullen has officially signed a contract. I gave up my innocence for nothing.

Syracuse AD John Wildhack says Dan Mullen was never a candidate for head football coach at SU

Wildhack addressed persistent rumors that former Mississippi State and Florida coach was a candidate to win the Syracuse job.

Well obviously, John is wrong.

 

[David332]

Wildhack can never take this thread from us.

And that guy that joked with him about it on the BC broadcast is a jerk.

 

[BVille44]

Per Emily: Wildhack - "Never talked to Dan. Never interviewed Dan. Never talked by phone. Never communicated by text. Email. Never.”
