Dan Mullen

[Toga]

It's official! We don't know shiit.

 

[nycfan]

Okay, I know nothing about any of these coaches, am completely ignorant about football in general, and this thread is giving me the runs.

I woke up to pee. Carry on, Fanatics!

Yes, I have noticed a common theme with your posts this morning -- good luck with everything!

This Syracuse alum could buy all the candidates

Now there's a deep cut. She was a great beauty in her time.

Still is at 58

This to me is very interesting since Brewster was on Mullen’s staff at Mississippi State and Florida.

Did he resign because Mullen reached out saying he wanted him on his new staff at SU?

 

[phil77]

Didn’t he coach with Mullin at Miss St!?

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Yes and Florida. Wording here looks important as he isn’t retiring.

If Mullen was the main target in this search, he reached out to JW and wanted to be here, has interviewed and the administration was bucking up to meet his demands, then this would have been done. We are missing something here.

I think the booster thing is the reason. They have to be all-in, too, if we are going to be able to afford this.

I wouldn't read much into the Brewster thing with regard to Mullen. I mean, it sure seems like coaching under Prime has been... interesting. Just ask Sean Lewis. Could easily be leaving for a lateral move.

Brewster has coached under Mack Brown for like 13 or 14 years in various places and times. He's coached under Jimbo Fisher for six years between FSU and A&M.

Maybe Jimbo really likes him and is gonna throw him a few bucks to be his fishing buddy or something while he tries to come up with ways to spend his $76M.

Seems like it would be premature to resign before Mullen signed a contract.
And as JB once said "Premature anything isn't good".

Where are you guys getting your Mullen tattoo?

Started it on my lower back but having the tattoo guy hold off till we know. If this doesn’t happen I’ve got “Dan” right now and I’ll just have the guy add a “k” and I’ll have a “Dank” tramp stamp.

Wow… a man of culture

Or is DT’s story about a meeting in Chicago total BS and Mullen signed a contract with SU this morning.

Brewster was informed it’s official and resigned from his job at Colorado.

I am supposed hang x-mas lights but this is way more fun.

 

[P Vasiloff]

SU fans: we need to spend money for better coaching.
SU: OK. We are raising ticket prices so we can hire better coaches.
SU fans: What? No thanks. I’ll just watch on TV.

I am not complaining about it. I am saying I want Mullen for that increase. I’m all in on spending the money for a name coach. If it’s Chesney so be it. I would prefer Mullen and don’t want Marrone, Golden,White or Coan.

 

[OburgCuse]

Who knows how accurate the Chicago report is but I’d assume it’s fairly common to meet with high profile candidates off site for 2nd/3rd interviews etc. Assuming the top candidates have been on campus once to see facilities etc meeting out of town makes it possible to be a little more discreet with less distractions. I’m not sure where Chicago comes into play other than some of the previous theories like easier for his agent, big booster(s) there etc.

I could be wrong but felt like the Marrone deal or another was said to be done in Chicago as well.

This made me chuckle

A typical plight the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend

Tim Brewster would be a nice addition to our coach staff.

“A coaching veteran of nearly four decades, Brewster has long been regarded as one of the top recruiters in the sport.”

It’s bad when you are reading this thread while driving. Need to get this done

 

[Scooch]

Brewster is definitely coming to to SU to coach.

As are Flint, Day, Sadler, Lawrinson and Boland.

It’s all happening.

 

[tep624]

with the SEC now.. A&M at best is maybe the 6-7-8 best team until things change.

with the ACC now the leap to 2-3 best is coaching and a small add of talent..

Su 6-6 BC/GT/Clemson were all there for the taking. Can a little more talent and a few more coaching decisions get you to 10 once in awhile and thats the edge of the 12 team playoff

In the SEC not only do you have to get better you still have to beat Ok/Tex/Ga/AL and then hope Fl/Tenn are not good and then hope MSU//Miss/Kent are in their down years and thats just to get to a 8 win season if you dont play any tough OC games.

I think A&M is a really tough job if you care about being successful. They’re a middle of the pack SEC team with boosters that expect to be Alabama. Yeah you’ll make a truckload of cash but your life expectancy isn’t very high at a program like that.
