Dan Mullen

[pacusewife]

That's it. I'm taking Sam Elliot and going home. We obviously are not allowed to have nice things.

Sorry pacusewife and KellySyracuse . I have no choice.

Uhhh excuse me! You forgot me!

 

[OmahaCuse]

Well I'm not an executive and have never been in a position to hire people, so maybe I'm off here. But if I'm the AD and Mullen expresses interest, one of the first things I do is make sure he's on board with the budget for the program. If he's not, we don't waste each other's time.

So unless they had a modest gap and tried to close it and just couldn't, I would say an issue there that derails it at the end is on the AD for not making sure early on that the parameters were viable for both sides.

Bingo! I am sure this table talk would have happened and doubt the deal got derailed by lawyers if they nailed it down in principal.

 

[rrlbees]

Well, chicken and egg argument tbf. Most on here have donated and would commit a larger donation if we had the feeling the university was as committed to the cause as we are. Right, wrong, or indifferent as anyone may be to that belief, that’s why I call it a chicken/egg.

Don’t belief it for one minute.

 

[rrlbees]

Bingo!

You’re missing a number.

 

[bnoro]

I guess I'll throw my 2 cents in here.

Marrone seems to be higher than people think on the totem pole here. Marrone/Chesney/White. Not sure if that is an order. But I heard Marrone left because of more than just facilities but actually mainly because we threw money he raised at Bernie fine fines/lawsuits/fees.

Higher on the totem pole where exactly?

Where is the negotiation and back and forth? Just close the door and don’t see if any options to get the deal done exist?

 

[Cuse181]

Tell us your thoughts, then. Start with Mullen turning us down, and then take it from there.

we have no proof mullen was ever in the conversation. We also have no clue that if he was, what he asked for. Would you pay him 8M? I wouldnt.

It would be interesting to see the stipulations on his buyout

that too, he might have wanted fully guaranteed.

If I had to guess that is where my money would be after the whole Dino buyout saga.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Maybe the real Dan Mullen thread is the friends we made along the way.

And banging Sam Elliott.

 

[Zepharus]

Sounds like The Clam Bar. And they ended up closing.

Correct and when its all said and done, Syracuse will be in the ECAC

 

[CusefanATL]

Candidate for HC. Like a finalist. If not leader.

 

[CuseCrew08]

And what if it was a $$$$ gap but that gap was NIL because Dan wanted SEC type NIL and our collectives couldn’t assure that? Then whose fault is it?

Ours?

Sam Elliott gets all the girls...

 

[Qbobby]

Uhhh excuse me! You forgot me!

I mean, I thought with you being married and all... ok, I;'m taking you home too.

 

[GoSU96]

Come on. People get let go all the time without a successor being lined up. Literally all the time.

He had his list, he’s working the list, the process might have been disrupted because someone unexpected expressed interest

My guess is the common thread with all these guys is they are in their 40’s who multiple people say are high potential guys that have “it”.

He’s not picking random names out of a hat. To all the doomers about this guy or that guy guess what, Wildhack knows more about them than you do. He has a wide and pretty unique network. He’s not just relying on football guys.

The interview process is having each of these guys address the holes in their resume, what they know about the challenges at Syracuse, and their plan to attack both.

Don't look at me... but she seems kind of pushy. I didn't want to tell her no, she scares me a little...

Makes two of us...

Currently? Gotta think Thamel would have mentioned him if that was the case.

I’m sure JW is working within his constraints, but this program needs a giant jolt to create local, regional, and national interest. I don’t see any candidate that will do this, except the one that got away.

100%, I have always asked my executive teams to have succession plans done annually and updated including for myself. If we are going to make an organizational move we have recruiting firms working on it well in advance. Maybe the football coaching world is different, but I know for fact that NU flubbed up the Pellini move and the Frost move most recently was already in the bag. Still does not guarantee success but better than scrambling and settling for someone. Not that we are doing that and for all I know JW already had his guy and this is just his process. My concern is as time goes by thats less clear to me. I’m going to support whoever the new guy is and give them a chance, just pointing out some of the potential risk I see, thats all. Again, these 2 hires will determine JWs legacy, he is on the clock.

Curious in what way Frost went off the tracks at Nebraska.
