Dan Mullen

You do know that is a staff writer on the DO.

I wonder if ESPN connections allowed for some back channel discussions.

Almost all of these hirings these days are bvback channel: somebody knows the coach's agent and talks to him. The agent tells the guy asking whiter his client is interested and gives hints about what it would cost to sign him. Then it goes from there.

We're not allowed to bet on coaching changes in New York.

Yep I know. My guess though is outreach likely didn't come from coach or his agent. My guess was perhaps John's connections at ESPN could have allowed for maybe a 15 minute call to get coaches/gauge coaches interest. It would certainly be a helluva pickup.

 

[DPCuse]

Or……Chesney is playing hardball so you float a rumor out there about another coach to gain some negotiating power. I’d be shocked if it was Mullen. But would not be disappointed if it was him.

Makes me wonder if, through back channels, SU has this information leaked to force other candidates (Chesney) to speed up their decision making process. Create a sense of urgency scenario.

 

[zjscuse]

He had to of been watching that game he commented on for us and was screaming on the inside. No! Why are you making that play call, this team is so close! Lol

I assume this was posted based not on insider knowledge but on this.

Looks like some are still very unhappy with Dan even after a couple of years.

Florida Football: Dan Mullen the betting odds favorite for Syracuse job

Former Florida football coach has been in a TV studio for two years, but rumblings of his return to the sidelines are heating up.

It wont be Mullen

Great first name

Certainly plausible. I would be surprised if you would do that for a Chesney. My I have a slanted view but I would think Chesney would pull the trigger if offered. I could see it for a Golden maybe and get him out of his OC role quicker to hit a desired timeline.
Part of my thinking is did JW get more than buyout money from donors? Maybe JW was able to get enough to bring in a heavy hitter as well?

 

[elimunelson]

you can bet on the next HC of Syracuse? Can I short Tony White? I'll take any of that action from you guys

 

[phil77]

I agree but it is strange that he remain the favorite at Vegas. They aren’t usually wrong by a lot so they are getting that information from someplace. Could it be Mullen himself letting people know he is interested in coaching again? Sure that is possible but they are getting information from somewhere

Chesney, unless i'm misreading the market, has no other market right now to leverage. As I said elsewhere, Holy Cross can't get into a bidding war with Syracuse for football. So it's a question of yes or no from Bob. SU isn't going to embarass him with some below market deal no matter what. He'll get paid what a new first year ACC coach should get (north of 2.5mm i would guess with incentives, etc).

This is not a leverage play at all. I think it's a stupid aggregator story at best

 

[GoSU96]

It wont be Mullen

Why?

 

[OrangeFreek]

Why?

No one knows who it will be or won’t be its all just speculation.. But it is fun to banter and disagree with people

 

[elimunelson]

Why?

I think the cost for him starts at 5mm and probably i'm low balling him by some.

If we're that big boy of a program color me very surprised financially. It's a massive number and it would take a 5 year commitment I would gather.

Get SU an ACC championship in year 5 and fly back to the SEC.
I'm good with it.

For the casual fan base -- you need a big-name hire. Chesney could be a great coach at the perfect time, but he does not move the needle like Mullen would.

This, in a way, could be like Deion at CU. Get the guy here and dollars can come in before a snap even happens. And looking at the 2024 schedule, and knowing what Mullen brings to the table (with the portal), they could win 7 next year and not have to go through what Deion is right now with his incredibly tough schedule

I'll help him pack.

At this point, the 2 candidates with OL Coaching expertise who are in the NFL need to be interviewed, IMO!

 

[Cusefan78]

I’m hoping Syracuse realizes they have one last chance to get this right and stay in a relevant position. All bets are off when the gore expires. If Syracuse doesnt turn it around and make themselves look attractive for other conferences then all will Be lost and the big checks will stop
Coming. Mullen is about as sure fire of a win as you can get here. He checks a lot of boxes and is a better version of Marrone

 

[All4SU]

This board should just create the suggestion of some completely random OC or DC out there. The more random the better. And see how long it takes to pop up in some national article or tweet.
