Google “Dan Mullen recruiting”
This isn’t news.

Imagine Dino getting a recruiting question after a game?

What he did at Miss St was absolutely amazing. Sure they did have Dak but he had Miss St i believe ranked #1 at his time there. Not to mention he was the OC for the Tebow UF champion team. Plus he’s only been out of football for 2 years so his name should still be very well known with current players and recruits.

Not for nothing but Dak was a no name 3 start recruit. I.e he had the same profile as the type of qb Syracuse recruits.

I would pump the brakes and if your already are convinced Mullen will be our next HC expect to be disappointed. Not happening don’t have the money

This sounds consistent with the University's track record. I hope the Board understands this is their come to Jesus moment, either you can commit the resources it takes to play big-boy football or you just don't belong there.

I was okay with Chesney if we believed he was the best option, but if we have a real chance at Mullen and it is money that's stopping us then you might as well change our nickname to the Syracuse Washington Generals.

Would be interested in the staff he would put together. Most the time coaches bring their current staffs with them.

There is a lot of confidence we have a new HC and it’s a done deal from what I’m hearing.

Are his initials D.M by any possible chance

I am now keenly interested to watch the BC-Miami game tomorrow. I did not watch the Cuse-VT Thursday night game he did, only could listen on radio that night. But now him doing BC-Miami has me more than intrigued.

This is actually pretty amazing that it looks like Dan Mullen freakin Dan Mullen is going to be the head coach at Syracuse.

I’m really trying hard to limit my excitement until an announcement is made but with him being confirmed to have been on campus by bulldog to a bunch of players following him on twitter, it is hard. He’s been my number 1 choice the whole time and even I admittedly thought at times it was a pipe dream. An accomplished SEC coach at 51 years old coming to the 315? Unheard of. Let’s hope it’s official soon.

Still +400 at bet online for those looking to make some dough

I felt it move, it's either this or Dolly Parton, don't know which

I sure as heck hope it wasn't Dolly

I refuse to believe you, simply because I refuse to get my hopes up. I have been banging my fist for him since Dino went 0-6 down the stretch last year. This would not be a home run hire. This would be a fricken Grand Slam hire.

So thank you for sharing, but now I will be constantly refreshing everything until a decision is made. Please, baby Jesus, make this so. Don’t screw it up. Give into the demands Cuse & JW. You won’t regret it!!!

This would be for me as good as when Pearl picked SU

 

[kcsu]

Ummmm…..frickin wow! It‘s probably the safest choice to be honest. It’s a name brand. It would generate a splash in the college football world. Chesney and White have big upside but they could also flop. Mullen could go 8-4 here every year and we’d build a statue of him outside the dome.

Chesney and White would each be excellent, but Dan is heads and shoulders above them. He is a top tier coach who could be picked by any program, and nobody would question it.

Holy you guys!! Just finished up cleaning from Thanksgiving and walked into this thread!! Inject this into my veins!! This was my home run scenario from months ago. You make this type of move when you are serious about football. Here’s to hoping.

 

[tep624]

Mullen refused to recruit at freaking Florida. Should do great at Syracuse. What a mistake this would be.

I’m so sick and tired of hearing this bunch of horse****.

 

[tep624]

Where is this coming from? He finished in the top 10 twice and was never lower than 14th.

Unintelligent people that regurgitate unintelligent things.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Stefon Thompson and out top OL recruit Willie Goodacre now following him too. Lots of smoke!!

 

[crales44]

Are his initials D.M by any possible chance

Doug Marrone, Donovan McNabb, Don McPherson and resurrected zombie Dick MacPherson are all still candidates under this criteria. I like it.

 

[tep624]

My #1 choice from the beginning. I hope to hell it happens because this is exactly what we need.

 

[kcsu]

If we land Dan, it is proof that SU has decided to step up in a very big way. Even if we don't the fact that we are this close tells me the admin is 100% committed to football.

100%. Even if it doesn’t work out it wasn’t for lack of trying. This is the best all around candidate we could hope for and people that are talking him down would never be satisfied with any HC. Other than maybe Saban or someone like that. It’s honestly just silly some of the comments I’ve seen. Only time I’ve ever seen a coach who landed top 10 classes in consecutive years getting labeled as not being able to recruit. I mean it’s just dumb.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

I also, personally, love how many professional wrestlers follow Dan Mullen. That’s just for my own entertainment though.

If i knew he was a realistic candidate i would have had him #1 as well.

NE guy, legit SEC coaching chops, program builder, former Syracuse staffer, SEC OC as well, I mean seriously what more do people want?

Is Nick Saban too much to ask for? He has all of the same quals but Mullen other than the NE roots.

This admin doesn’t care about football if they choose Mullen over Saban!
