Dan Mullen

[djorange1989]

I’m not the type to go digging for old posts but I vaguely remember most being good with that hire until Mullen came into the conversation.

Yep

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

"not interacting" is amazing. Can't talk, Syracuse coaching rumors...

Definitely a bit of exaggeration but a fun post nonetheless. Haha.

 

[UpstateSM]

Who you want if not Mullen? Not asking in a wise guy manner, just curious who people like as an alternate to Mullen if that doesn’t happen..

Winners win. Sports are simple.

Bronco & Candle

I like Candle a lot, would be very happy with him. I don’t know why, but something with Bronco just doesn’t sit well with me, like the fit would be bad or something

When Mullen was still a pipe dream, I was all aboard the Chesney train. I would be disappointed if it’s not Mullen only because these last few days, but if it ends up being Chesney we’re in good hands. Damn good coach that knows how to build a program.

I understand. It's not my job to vet these guys but I want someone who has recruited players at our level. I would have been happy with White. Or Golden.

What program does he know how to build? The difference in levels is staggering. I bet he is a terrific coach. But this would be a learning job for him at a time where we need results fast.

If it has to be a coordinator I would like Tony but would like HC experience for this gig. Golden just doesn’t do it for me at all

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

I just don't share the confidence that you have that a guy from Holy Cross and the Patriot League is going to be the one to elevate our recruiting, our offense, and our profile, out of the basement of the ACC. I hope I am wrong, but Chesney feels like a lot of hope that he will translate his success at the Power 5 level vs hiring a guy who has proven he can.

He did do a pretty good job at Temple.

not for nothing - I was just told a Monday or Tuesday press conference is still expected. ‍ who the heck knows what’s going on right now.

I’m stuck in traffic 4 hours from home, can you guys drink more or something?

He build HC up from essentially nothing. I posted the numbers last week. If recruiting is your main concern I’d remind you we’re consistently at the bottom of the ACC in recruiting anyway, it’s not like it’ll get much worse. He’s an up and coming energetic coach that will have no issue pounding the trail.

 

[Acesn8s]

Ok same question I asked Dasher, who do you suggest if Mullen doesn’t happen? Again, curious, not asking in a confrontational manner

Manny Diaz, Al Golden, Candle, Huff, Chadwell, Tommy Reese, Bobo, Schuman, Knowles, Hartline

Any OC or DC of a team that's in the top 6 teams in the nation would probably be better. All vastly more qualified then the HC at Holy Cross that made a 24 team playoff as his crowning achievement.

Oh he is a very good coach but it feels like he wouldn’t be around long at all, can’t put my finger on it

Yes but that press conference is about a new Golden Corral that is opening downtown.

If that’s the case we have to hear something tonight, right?

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.

the status quo is not what is needed in recruiting. And he wouldn't be coaching against the guys he coached against ay Holy Cross. A whole different level.

Yes he did

I would not be unhappy with Bronco.

Bronco lives in Montana. Maybe he is meeting with Wildhack in Chicago?

He live near the Dutton ranch?

We are in recovery…

Question though.. Are you possibly wearing a 44 jersey and picked up a car from the one and only franchised Enterprise?
