Dan Mullen

[Yeti]

I don't know if this was already posted (probably so because its really hard to keep up with this):

Nunzio says in presser that he never saw Mullen at practice this week

Fwiw

Eh. He clearly left the door open for Mullen being in the Otto costume.

There are rumors of Mullen to Kentucky is Stoops gets A&M job. Is this the reason for the delay?

Was thinking about that when the Stoops news started leaking. Definitely a more desirable landing spot.

If he doesn’t want to go to MSU he certainly won’t go to Kentucky

 

[phil77]

If they are interested in him yes. You make it look like you are ready to agree to a deal elsewhere and that prompts school xyz to get off their arse and move on you if you are their candidate.

They would call his bluff. Fine go to Syracuse. Mullen is a good coach for us he would be a great coach but in the SEC he is just a good coach. Too many hoops to jump through for a good coach

I hope you are wrong. I think this is a vital moment for us.

To be clear that is NOT what I was implying

I will say this, if we were played, it would be par for the course. Still, I wonder why we are not hearing other names right now. Time as we say, is of the essence. We have recruits to keep and the portal will be opening soon.

I wasn't responding to you. I know what you think. I hope you are correct.

Are we? Or are we just hearing the same names we heard until the Mullen news threw us into a tizzy?

 

[RandomGuy]

That’s ADJWs death sentence if new candidate doesn’t deliver next year.

Only half joking. They know how media works.. And budgets...

Chesney was extended through Jan, 2028, at a rumored $300k per year. Thats 1.2M to us? Pay the guy $2.X M, a year? We get a new coach, pay the buy out, and pay what's owed to Babers, while keeping the books the same. Renegotiate if we're still playing football.

Yeah no way he’s gonna say oh yeah he was here. Half the team is following Mullen on Twitter. Including someone in the portal today. This can’t be a nothing burger. And I was told he was there. And it was reported he was on campus by outlets on weds

The same names but we haven't heard any of the kind of updates that I would think you would get if someone was close to being hired.

 

[Chip]

Those are his players!

That’s why I’ve been saying they should institute some type of transfer mechanism whereby a coach can bring in new players.

Such as a QB like Graham Mertz, as an example.

 

[Wrinkle]

I haven't confirmed it but if all of our players suddenly started following Mullen (as others are alleging), it sure seems like he's been hired

 

[CuseGrad94]

That was me because everyone was checking flights last night. I said in the morning but it could have been anytime today. I’m more than 100% sure the plan was for him to be here today/tonight. It appears he canceled, we canceled, it was mutually canceled, he couldn’t get out of his espn commitment or whatever.

Couldn’t JB have stepped in and taken the spot for Mullen, he knows football, he has season tickets.

Wut? This is random. Did anyone not think this was a gating issue. I’d guess the total number they are debating is more like 15mil (staff and NIl)

 

[Dinkyspond]

I need another hobby, see you on Monday

you'll be back tomorrow

If it turns out CCuse44 on twitter had the real scoop, we all need to reevaluate our sources.

You had a chance at a 10 and settled on an 8. That 8 better deliver the strange or you’re left wondering why you settled for the 8.

You settle for the 8, you don’t play for the 8.

Mullen has a marketing machine starting. We are a part of it. It’s kinda cool.

I'd rather believe you, Bulldog, for sure

I feel like at this point, Wildhack has to be aware that rumors are flying about Mullen. It was in the school's interest to have people think/know Mullen had some interest, even if he wasn't the guy. Makes us look good. You could maybe argue it was in Mullen's interest to get some press out of Syracuse being interested in him, but not the other way around. Former SEC head coach reaches out to lowly Syracuse and they give him the Heisman is not exactly the kind of press a superstar agent wants his guy to get.

At this point it makes 'Cuse look bad if he's not the guy, it makes him look like a bit of a jackass for not squashing the rumors, and the story that he reached out and then they went another direction looks awful for him. He could come right out and squash the rumors, and Wildhack could do so with one call to a guy like Thamel.

So, I'm starting to really think he's the guy. And going back to the jokes on air, I think most professional broadcasters would get clearance to needle him like that if there is potentially a $15-20M deal on the line. Like you think Matt Barrie wants to risk being responsible for costing his broadcast partner that kind of bank?

I like the cut of your jib.
