Dan Mullen

[CU44SE]

Pure speculation.

Everyone needs to sign off on Mullen due to the financials that will be needed for assistant coaches and NIL. If unable to obtain total buy in, then it’s probably Chesney.

JW is probably trying to wrangle everyone together to agree. And if it’s not unanimous then then it’s Chesney. Just a shot in the dark, but if I had to guess that’s probably the delay. Otherwise, I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t have leaked today if everyone was on board.

177 pages in and you finally came in and cracked the case, thanks, we can all return to our lives now.

That's why he's a second stringer.

Let’s get our announcement tonight too please

 

[djorange1989]

The three P5 jobs that opened before ours are now apparently filled. Mr Wildhack: batter up!

 

[RyanCuse44]

Gave me a heart attack, I glanced quickly and thought the “Sources” said “Syracuse”

Put down the Bourbon

Bronco has more wins than Mullen 135-81 & would probably keep beck & nunzio

Good points. On the other hand, Al Golden as defensive coordinator would be pretty good. I think he could be very effective recruiting for us. He's been a lot of really good places, and generally done well, aside from as Head Coach at Miami. But he's coached up and down the East Coast, and in the midwest, in the NFL. He'd be a terrific guy to have on staff, IMO. Not head coach, but I'd be happy with him as DC.

What if Mullen had no interest in SU. Did not visit SU but now, after seeing this awesome chat decided he’s now in the running and that’s why there’s been a delay.

Chesney is a lottery ticket. I just want someone more proven at the Power 5 level.

All good no rush.

 

[IthacaMatt]

I really don’t think it would be a problem at all. He’s a very high character guy who was well respected by his team and the community and he delivered results at uva. I would have no reservations whatsoever.

He's probably thinking of the circumstances at UVa that led to his departure. They tell you to fire your DC and you decline, and quit, some would call that principled. No problem if he's our next coach. There would probably be some more continuity if he were the choice.

 

[djorange1989]

Yep as long as we get our guy

Yeah I thought that was principled for sure, I just can’t put my finger on why he concerns me because he is a damn good coach

 

[Moontan]

There's a decent chance Mullen is waiting to see which way the carousel turns before he puts pen to paper in Syracuse, right? Could be a better opening he may be interested in.

I can't think of one.

It is all about the amount of risk we can take and afford. I agree completely that we need low risk right now which costs more as we simply can not afford another miss in football this time. Everyone seems to be in agreement it seems with this which is the first step.

 

[GreekFreak]

Thanks, Columbo

Well he was an alum lol.

 

[orangenauburn]

Let's go for the reverse jinx.

No announcement tonight or tomorrow.

Earliest will be Thursday or Friday.

I like the idea. You’re being too generous, how about next Monday?

We just saved a ton of money by giving Autry and the guys a chance. Spend it now, when it most matters.

I think it won't be leaked till its 100% complete, no matter how close we are and sure everyone is because of what happened with Arnett just 4 years ago.

 

[pacusewife]

Got home around 5pm, unpacked, got food, and have been jumping out of my skin every time my ESPN app goes off

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

Let's just hire Will Arnett. It's no surprise his style of humor didn't play in Mississippi.
