Mullen may have started the Tenn fiasco

[bocephus.sixpack]

I think Mullen was or had already told Tenn he was coming and after Fla came open and Kelly turned them down, Mullen put the clamps on going to Tenn. All of this through Currie in wave of screw ups. They had hollered for Gruden and Mullen and when both teruned it down the panic mode set in.

Agree but Currie could have made things easier for the UT fanbase to swallow if he had just publicly stated that Gruden was not a possibility

I've said this to my UTK friends over and over... If Currie had tempered UT expectations by dismissing the Grumors, then the Schiano announcement could have gone smoother.

Or I’d he’d Just nutted up and went through with his first hire, rather than worrying about his perception of the hire. UT fans would have gotten over it.

Wonder what would have happened if Mullen quit our job, signed on with Tennessee, and then Tennessee reneged like they did with Brohm and Shiano, and in the meantime, Florida signed somebody else. Would he be left out in the cold?

No. South Alabama is looking for a coach.
