Dan Mullen

SU hired a firm to assist with the coaching hire - couldn't find the name of the firm or what thread it is in. Maybe the firm is located in Chicago.

Chicago is not that far from South Bend. Golden?

Pretty simple have any private jets flown from Syracuse to Chicago this morning or late last night?

The AD usually flies commercial. I wouldn’t put much stock in this unless it was some kind of emergency board meeting. But they’d do it over zoom not in person. I suspect it’s just not true.

Chicago? WITAF does everyone need to go to Chicago for?

Private pow-wow with Illinois native Donovan McNabb

He lives in Arizona.

 

[rhcuse]

So he’s not denying there were costumed attendees at practice...interesting.

Anyone remember when chip kelly was at New Hampshire? There was chatter/buzz about someone like that coming straight here. Obviously he went to Oregon as coordinator and then things worked out great for him (and not us). I don’t get any of that innovative energy from chesney, though, where what he does at his level could work at any level and compel us to jump on it while we can. Does anyone else?

Kelly was already at Oregon and had agreed in principle to take the SU job. Oregon didn’t want to lose him and named him coach in waiting and Kelly stayed at Oregon. It was a major loss for us.

Maybe he was in a Dan Mullen costume?

Mullen was on campus on Wednesday. Whether he was at practice or in the facility is semantics. And Nunzio was cagey with his answer. It was a well scripted one at that. He did a great job in that presser.

I saw this yesterday.

Look, he probably wasnt there, but even if he was, I doubt he was empowered to confirm that. He didn't specifically say no.

 

[bballbeadle]

Yep first ten rows in Section 101 are now designated as the “Club Zone “ and that’s what they now cost.

That is utter crap! I don’t like this development at all.

He lives in Arizona.

I was joking lol

Private pow-wow with Illinois native Donovan McNabb

Mcnabb wanted Jim Knowles. I know that for a fact and posted it here a while ago. That ain’t happening. And I don’t believe this DT guy for a second. He just wants to be included as if he knows something

 

[orangenauburn]

I'm here

He lives in Arizona.

And wasn't he in Vegas to watch Lexi play?

Ok, I think I’m on day four of this (thread) bender and I finally feel qualified to add my .02. As somebody who lives in Horseheads, the Elmira-Corning regional airport is a lovely place. Do you know where their main connection is? That’s right, Chicago! Could be something, could be nothing! They also have an Enterprise Rental kiosk. When there’s smoke…


FWIW, I sat next to two former Northwestern players at the Iowa game a few weeks back (in Wrigley). Straight up asked them about Pat Fitz and they said it was “pure bs and politics.” They stated that no complaints of hazing were ever brought to leadership council or coaching staff during their tenure and that Fitz was a straight up guy who the players would run through a wall for. Their words, not mine. It did get me thinking if there was one coach who has a track record of making an irrelevant school, relevant it would be Fitz.

Anyways, keep up the good work! LFGO

Look I would absolutely love the next Syracuse University Football Coach to be Dan Mullen. If it is Chesney then all the bashing is not going to help if he is the hire. Especially after I found out yesterday that my two seats if I want to keep them went from $1315.00 to $4400.00. I will support whoever the hire is but I hope it happens soon because I’m dying here. Go Orange!

Woah! Thats a big jump.

DT also said there was no chance we were hiring Mullen

DT also reports on Alfred state football and what not

Hard to believe he has any real sources but who knows

Yeah what is he going to say? Of course he denied it

 

[CIL]

I am not one to question you I value your input and inside info.. i see he has met with ADJW all over the place. Is this not true?

What place? This board?

 

[Cusefan0307]

Tortora is the worst. The next time he’s right about anything will be the first time.

Just went back and watched it. It’s safe to say Mullen is a candidate for at least one job. We know Barrie keeps referencing orange so we know we are involved. Whether he chooses to accept an offer or not is anyone’s guess.

I've seen both Barrie "incidents" and he DEFINITELY knows Mullen is considering A job - the only question is, which job? Is it Cuse?

Well, Barrie did mention "orange" in the 1st incident, then posted & snidely commented on an article linking Mullen to SU. So that confirms that SU is at least ONE of the jobs in play with Mullen.

But is it the only one? Michigan St and MSU, I believe have both made hires - so they're out. Are there other possible suitors or potential openings Mullen has an eye on? IF the answer is 'No' then logic dictates that he's coming to Syracuse. But that's a big azz if.

Anyone McNabb wants is out with me, especially Knowles

He just isn’t, right in the head

Weird hill to die on considering it’s been confirmed by multiple posters in the know.

I have to think Kentucky intrigued Mullen based on Matt and Joey’s facial expressions. Like that may have been one domino to fall that was ahead of Cuse.
