Dan Mullen

[phil77]

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

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

Exactly he can’t be trolling Syracuse with so many alumni working in house. Not the best career choice. Two days in a row leads me to believe it will be Mullen

 

[PhatOrange]

Either is mega troll or they all know and just having fun with Dan

Mega troll job since .00005% of their audience would even get it.

Okay, here is another one. Where is the talk about anyone else? A smidge about Chesney. But no one following him. But a lot of smoke about Mullen. Wouldn't we have to be down the road with someone by now?

 

[MadNY3]

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

Likely not. Mullen would say joking about it isn’t cool/have to lie low per the University wishes.

Nah not this time.

Drink some Bourbon.

Which means we're going to hire Liam Coen.

Chesney and many of the smaller-tier school HC’s don’t have the agents or connections within media to stoke fires.

Mullen does.

Why are you so sure he would say that about such a benign comment from Barrie?

Mullen does.

I don't know for sure but I would bet Chesney has an agent and I would bet he is good. These agents latch on to up and comers which Chesney clearly is.

 

[MadNY3]

Why are you so sure he would say that about such a benign comment from Barrie?

I am not sure. I would argue if it’s real, you joke about it once, not twice. And not say it.

 

[007]

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

For sure. But regardless of the direction, I think the target is Mullen and not the SU fanbase.

 

[KellySyracuse]

I need another hobby, see you on Monday

 

[MadNY3]

I don't know for sure but I would bet Chesney has an agent and I would bet he is good. These agents latch on to up and comers which Chesney clearly is.

I will bet you every dollar I have that whoever Chesney’s agent is is nowhere near Jimmy Sexton (Mullen’s.) That guy can direct traffic.

Not crapping on him, but SEC coaches can afford Jimmy. He doesn’t charge Patriot League prices.

 

[Cusefan69]

If they offered and he agreed in principle, it would probably be his agent ironing out the details, not him.

Agreed but there's the AD, Chancellor, maybe BoT member or two discussions and then there's the commercials and legalities agent and attorneys are working.

To what end? If Mullen isn't interested in the job, and isn't a serious candidate for the job, what is his agent doing propping him up for it? That really wouldn't make much sense, would it?

Here’s the other odd tea leaf… Vegas.

Mullen wasn’t on any of the major outlets lists for Syracuse, yet somehow jumped to the top of the list at +400 and then shut it down on Saturday.. only way the lines move closer to -100 is if there’s betting happening and who the heck would be betting major dollars on Mullen given the news releases by people in the know. When lines move swiftly, sharps are in. Sharps always have more info than the general person.

 

[RMH44]

That’s what I was thinking too. Brand new poster and starts dropping stuff like that?

Has anyone seen Cous?

 

[PhatOrange]

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

While I agree, it seems odd they’d be trolling 50 fans on a message board; thinking what, that 1 of them might catch the half time show. It’s weird.

And if they’re trolling the university for swinging and missing that seems a bit unprofessional.

4 hours ago, he posted the same on his IG story. ESPN logo

What was his logo before he switched it to ESPN?

Why was it taken off the board? Does that mean someone has been hired?

Vegas rarely takes something off the board when there’s money to be made..

..they make their money on the rake/scrape.

Edit: I really really hate autocorrect.

 

[FrancoPizza]

Yeah I know it’s only an extra day but you’d think Wildhack would like to get this done asap so he can start talking to players to get our top guys to stay and recruits. (They have been following him so who knows what’s going on behind the scenes)

Maybe he knows everyone is bailing if it’s Chesney so he’s in no rush.

Still processing the UMass loss to UConn today

This is solid. Vegas is happy to take your money until they are pretty damn sure that the outcome is decided. They stop taking bets on the winner.

He’s just poking fun at his broadcast partner. Guys have spent months together.
