Dan Mullen

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

Well I am getting off this ride now, I will wait until the coach is announced to be happy or freak out. not getting Mullen now, however, will be a huge letdown after today but still some decent options out there…

Same. We are gonna hire a guy from the Patriot League and then spend 10 more years wondering why we are at the bottom of the ACC.

 

[OburgOrange]

Hoping for Dan but will be ok with Bob!

 

[KellySyracuse]

ahhh, remember the days when we were all in on Bill O'Brien? Good times

 

[Dinkyspond]

man o man, thank God, just got my bulldog fix...now I can go onto something else for a couple hours and see if the wife is pissed at me yet...

lmao, same here with the Mrs.

Syracuse football. Come for the Dinosaur, stay for the Solvay.

Last week?

 

[Stevenson]

I am presently standing on the shoulder of the NYS Thruway near Schenectady with a sign that says Honk if You Are Dan Mullen.

I love you, man

 

[DPCuse]

lmao, same here with the Mrs.

I just got sniped at by the wifey. “Don’t want to hear the name Dan Mullen again tonight.” 4 hours and 37 minutes before I can say it out loud again.

 

[Actionthrill]

What kind of offense and defense does Mullen run? Is he a good recruiter?

 

[Stevenson]

Not that it matters but we do have a rich graduate, who received a master's degree from SU. A Saudi Arabian Prince.

Saudi Prince from Roast Battle?

Feels like the floodgates won't open till after the Wake game at the earliest. Wildhack "leaking" to Thamel the night before the game would be a bit of a distraction for the current staff and players.

I remember being all in on Lane Kiffin too and Skip Holtz

 

[boog7]

Look we know he was here Wednesday to interview
During that interview he MAY have been at practice
Now rumor he should be back at Syracuse tomorrow
Current players and recruits and coaches have started following him on Twitter
There has been no other confirmed on campus interviews from any other candidate
Players and recruits didn’t just randomly start following anyone else from the list.
Co-worker on national tv was dropping hints.

Without any inside knowledge myself all that adds up to like 90% sure he is our coach. How are we not going to give him what he wants and just have him back on campus for the second time in 5 days. While nobody else have ever even been rumored on campus.

IMO if the deal wasn’t done Mullen wouldn’t be coming back. If we couldn’t meet his financial demands we would tell him over the phone and not have him back.

I put 90% only because there could be some late SEC boat load of cash offer that chances his mind but I think that offer would have to come tonight. My prediction if Mullen makes it to campus for the second time he isn’t leaving without signing.

AND - also important if reports are true - Mullen reached out to SU almost immediately after Babers was fired and let it be known that he wants the job.

For Wildhack I imagine that was like having a crush on a pretty, popular girl but thinking you have no chance, only to find out that she actually has a crush on you - instant involuntary swellage!!

Spread innovator. Yes

So caught up in this thread and how important our next hire is I keep forgetting we’re playing to go back to a bowl game tomorrow.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Drove from NJ to Cuse today. This thread increased by about 35 pages while I was driving. Great job everyone.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Has he been a big donator?

He only has to donate once if it’s big enough.

 

[Xanadu]

I don’t think he wants to be in SEC again. I really don’t.

Also what I heard

Anyone thinking Kiffin, was correctly ignored.

The holtz thinking people were correctly blasted.

 

[Brian Orange]

NORM CHOW!!!

Donnie Henderson! Jerry Gray!

Yeah, the current leaks seem like they are not from Wildhack.

 

[Franz69]

Just occurred to me that Matt Barrie and likely a lot of the crew that Mullen has been working with the past two years, would have worked for Wildhack when he was at ESPN.

 

[All4SU]

Anyone tailgating at Manley might find out in the Morning. If recruits are coming, and he's meeting them? They're likely showing up there, from 8AM to 10AM... Facility tour, meetings, and a bus ride to the dome...

If he's at Manley with recruits? I'd expect it a done deal.

I believe there would be ZERO chance of a new coach meeting with players prior to the WF game. Not even 1% chance. You let the kids focus on their game. You let the coaches - many of whom are losing their jobs - focus on coaching the game. Nothing is happening tomorrow. If I’m wrong, I’ll be shocked.
