Dan Mullen

The three P5 jobs that opened before ours are now apparently filled. Mr Wildhack: batter up!

This is a part of the Syracuse pitch.

We have far more patience than anyone else.

I think it won't be leaked till its 100% complete, no matter how close we are and sure everyone is because of what happened with Arnett just 4 years ago.

Much agreed. The administration will be extremely tight lipped on this one.

I don't understand why people are expecting a Sunday announcement.

Good points. On the other hand, Al Golden as defensive coordinator would be pretty good. I think he could be very effective recruiting for us. He's been a lot of really good places, and generally done well, aside from as Head Coach at Miami. But he's coached up and down the East Coast, and in the midwest, in the NFL. He'd be a terrific guy to have on staff, IMO. Not head coach, but I'd be happy with him as DC.

So Golden will trade being DC at Notre Dame to be DC at Syracuse?

2018 Caymus Special Select Cab.

Open up that wallet!

No inside info but I expect a Monday announcement.

Tuesday press conference followed by the new coaches first public appearance in the dome for the LSU/SU game.

Let's just hire Will Arnett. It's no surprise his style of humor didn't play in Mississippi.

I think people are seeing other schools fans get some relief today and feeling jealous.

DM this week. My hope and guess.

Exactly. Canada is much closer to Syracuse

Not willingly, no. They are 9-3. Seems like he's mostly done a good job.

Who knows what kind of standards their alumni have, though, and who might be a scapegoat for a "subpar" season?

The activity in this thread has been nuts. I don’t know where it ranks all time on the football board, but we’ve got to be approaching rare air.

Shades of the Ishaq Williams commitment thread. Robert Washington had a pretty good run too. Wonder how long Dino’s was?

Why wouldn’t we? Do we not work on Sunday? Another P5 just announced their coach today? A&M will probably announce today also?

I mean the dude they are likely gonna hire works for Holy Cross so maybe he doesn't? I dunno.

Still, this is a communications school. You announce things on Monday that you want people to cover. You announce them on Friday afternoon or the weekend if you don't really want people to notice.

Our doctors don’t work on Mondays and our Athletic department doesn’t do deals on Sunday!

media coverage is greater on monday than on the weekend.

There was an article a day or two ago saying how relieved ND was that Cuse may be looking in another direction than golden, forget who wrote it and if they are tied in though

So that means they likely AREN'T hiring the Patriot League guy with no Power 5 experience?

Good call on the Ishaq Williams commitment thread. I’ll also add the Nduka Oneayli thread, which I think was the same year as a distant 2nd.

 

[Dinkyspond]

He's been with ESPN less than two years. He was hired in 2022. Whether it's an ESPN policy or not it just may be as a courtesy to someone he works with. Maybe he has an agreement to get the scoop when it's done, either from Mullen or Wildhack.

there's no such thing, reporters break it when they've confirmed it with their sources, it is ridiculous to think he'd hold it because Mullen is ESPN, reporters want to be first to break news, ESPN would want him to break it to show they are the authority on sports news

lol this isn’t 1960 anymore. Call the SEC and BIG 74 and tell them they have it all wrong and should hold all their announcements until tomorrow. Syracuse does it right everyone else doesn’t wrong

 

[rocklloyd]

Let's go for the reverse jinx.

No announcement tonight or tomorrow.

Earliest will be Thursday or Friday.

Let’s go full reverse, we miss 12/4.

We just saved a ton of money by giving Autry and the guys a chance. Spend it now, when it most matters.

Where are all the people on this forum who said Money was not the issue and that the Cuse had the money to compete with the top schools? If money was not an issue, Mullen would be signed, deal done, if in fact, he is Wildhack's top choice. The reality is, when you factor in facility upgrades, NIL, head coach's salary, and money for a decent staff, Syracuse is not in the same financial position as many of the schools, homers on this forum said we should be able to compete with. If this coaching scenario hasn't made that clear,I don't know what else ever will. Hopefully, the financials work out so that Syracuse can secure a great coach , we can pay the players we need to retain as well as recruit, and the HC can hire a really good staff!!

Let's not forget we are gonna get some of that sweet sweet SMU and Cal money.
