Mullen to Chapel Hill

[DawgatAuburn]

If Dan is going to get back into coaching, this is the kind of job he should be looking for. Moderate expectations, manageable league schedule, and should be able to turn up enough money to put a roster together which helps mask his weaknesses in recruiting.

If he sticks with media, I do think he could develop into one of the best analysts out there. He’s also good on the set.

 

[OG Goat Holder]

Agree, he’d be a good fit there.

 

[onewoof]

can confirm it is a possibility

 

[BirdPuppy]

I agree, but hope he doesn’t take it. There was a rumor he had been contacted a couple of weeks ago.

I am holding on to the pipe dream that we have Mullen/Kamario Taylor in 2026 once we move on from sh*tshow.

Lebby will be here through the 2026 season

I was on the bring-back-Mullens wagon before it was cool, but now I'm pretty agnostic on it. I still think he's a perfectly capable coach, but what's his skill-set on NIL? Who knows! If/when we run off Lenny, I want a coach who has demonstrated ability when it comes to NIL nonsense.

I wish we’d lean in the other way….get a hard nose coach, and let the school innovate the NIL in some way. And trust me, Danny is no stranger to IDing the players and then turning the other way and allowing boosters to do their thang.

 

[golferdog]

I don't see it. After sitting out a few years, and the way NIL & transfer portal has emerged, I wouldn't want back in.

 

[BIGDAWG44]

My money is Jamey chadwell to get the offer

If this is true, username checks out

I think Mullen would be a much better recruiter in the NIL era, since it's primarily about open, over-the-table $$ now. Things like personality and outworking on the recruiting trail aren't as important.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

We should agree to pay Mullen's special teams coach $1 million per year for 3 years @ UNC

 

[WilCoDawg]

A lot of similarities to his time in Starkville: a school of in-state kids vs their rival made up of mostly rich reject out-of-staters.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Mullen has it made and is making good $$.

 

[RocketDawg]

Mullen has it made and is making good $$.

I hope he stays in his present job, which he is good at. He has no stress and stability there.

Is that the year we join the sun belt?

 

[57stratdawg]

I wouldn’t want any part of Dan Mullen in this NIL world.

 

[Dawghouse]

Going forward I think teams will be like NFL. Head coach plus GM. GM deals with all the NIL BS and the coach just coaches.

Id take Mullen back tomorrow in that circumstance.

Well he had his chance to have it all taken care of with Cam Newton and passed ..

 

[greenbean.sixpack]

UNC is a sleeping giant. Kiffen would kill it there and have an easy path to the playoffs, let's hope he jumps.

Why they hired a retread is mind boggling.

 

[HumpDawgy]

.....because Mullen did so well securing Cam Newton.****

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

They already did the hire the coach off of espn

My problem now is that he has been sitting out too long now
