Dan Mullen

[OrangeinBoston]

If mullen wasn’t here on Wednesday all the ESPN trolling makes sense. I think we are screwed and this is going to be a pull and pray hire not wanting to spend the money that’s needed.

Where was the bona fide confirmation that Mullen was interviewed, or that he was ever seriously in the mix? This is an example of a crowd jumping on something they wanted to hear.

Maybe he was. But, there is no confirmation.

 

[DPCuse]

They need to dot the "i"s and cross the "t"s on the contract. Can take time.

Why does our deal take so long to get done yet other schools seem to wrap theirs up so quickly? We fired Dino when we did to get a jump on things. Mullen wasn’t involved with another school. People speculated he expressed interest to JW when he covered our Va Tech game in late October. Not buying the we need more time if in fact both parties want this to happen.

But Mullen was in Syracuse on Wednesday

Was he at practice, who knows

There has been no bonafide confirmation of anything other than Babers was fired.

Lawyers get involved, along with final negotiations!

Also the Mullen/ESPN stuff. Breathe people. Wildhack isn’t going to step on his old employee (Margulis) toes. No big deal if DM fulfilled his commitment to ESPN. Never burn a bridge

Thamel will definitely get the scoop when the new coach hire is imminent. If you parse through his tweets over the past few years, he’s been first to Cuse related news on a lot of things. I’m sure he’s not doing much speculation so he can get that scoop.

There will be no bonafide confirmation on annything until someone is hired.

 

[GoSU96]

Agreed. We had first mover advantage and lost it

You don’t know that.

Employment contracts are very easy to draft. If you go on coacheshotseat you can find a bunch of them as they’re public records when the coach is at a State school.

I can’t see attorneys holding a potential hire up.

Went to my kids hockey game (4goals 1 assist proud dad plug) and came back to another bipolar meltdown lol. This group is awesome!!!

 

[GoSU96]

This silence almost makes it appear as though we whiffed on our first and second candidates and are now rethinking which direction we want to go. Not good.

It’s been a week.

Someone asked about my plane in the Southern Tier ?

Would he be interested in some form of offensive coordinator position for a different sport?

Texas A&M has had a vacancy longer than ours, is in a more attractive conference than ours, has a higher profile job than ours, can pay more money than we can and has infinitely more resources than we do. Yet they still have not filled their job opening. It’s a process, unfortunately. T’s need to be crossed. I’s need to be dotted. Contracts are not legally binding without the crosses and dots.

From what I understand a full contract is not signed. I remember during the whole schiano Fiasco with Tenn, it's typically a Letter of Intent, with the main terms outlined that both parties sign as the "deal". Then the lawyers iron out the T's and C's later.

 

[OburgCuse]

While he’s been at ESPN? I’m not sure. He’s only been there 3-4 years. It does seem like a reasonable policy however - to prohibit commenting on a co-worker.

No idea if it’s a thing or not

Agreed….but I wouldn’t fault him for changing that policy and responding to colleague Desmond Howard throwing him under the bus during gameday yesterday…

I’m not sure coaching in the SEC, not being Georgia or Alabama is nothing more than a coach killer. Now add Texas and Oklahoma and you wonder how you can have a winning season.

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

You don’t know that.

I know that there is no announced signing. I know there are more openings now than before the start of the search. I cant see how that is a good thing

 

[Todoubled23]

The return of Weitsman!

Recently saw a Rolls Royce swerving and switching lanes on 81 when I was driving home. Was like who the hell is driving that boat like that? Guess who.

What opening would Mullen go to however

Based on my legal bills over the years I definitely disagree with this. Employment contracts are tricky and any good lawyer dealing with a complex contract like this will be making sure it is well drafted. Also, there is another attorney to deal with and negotiate language.
This is not just boilerplate.
