How long until the first tweet or story saying dan Mullen is on their short list?

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Haha. That 2nd one is priceless...or apparently not.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

It think they take a shot at Fuente.

 

[msstate7]

There is gonna be a bunch of coach movement this offseason

 

[snoopdog]

Can someone remind me in a quick recap what the rumors were surrounding Mullen and Miami before they hired Golden.

 

[aTotal360]

Is Fuente on a plane yet?

 

[Fletch F. Fletch.sixpack]

Mullunz to Miami!

 

[tatedog]

Of all the current openings, I think this one makes the most sense for Fuente. He already plays in a conference that is better than the ACC and he didn't get shot in Memphis so his odds are pretty decent in Miami.

 

[was21]

Seems to me that there was confusion about whether or not he had interest and/or they had interest. Post hiring of Golden, their fans smugly indicated that Mullen was too arrogant. Translation: They were miffed because they inquired about Mullen's interest and he had none. Or at least his handler dissed the Miami job.

 

[snoopdog]

Thanks for the reminder on that was21...was there also something somewhere about Mullen thinking he invented football?

 

[DogStuckAtUM.sixpack]

Yep. A bunch. Though I doubt Mullen leaves, wouldn't surprise me to see Gonzales or to a lesser extent Diaz getting a HC job this offseason.

 

[Shmuley]

As crazy as it sounds/reads, keep your eyes on A&M. In addition to locker room problems, Sumlin now has a Sarkisian problem to deal with. He may survive, but it would not surprise me if he doesn't survive it, especially in this climate.

 

[missouridawg]

Miami is a terrible job.

No fan support whatsoever.

 

[BoDawg.sixpack]

The shine has come off of that gig

I'm not going to say that its a terrible job, but it's the grass isn't as green as it used to be. While I certainly can see Mullen being successful there I don't think he'd go as long as he's wanted at MSU.

 

[Shamoan]

cheap ties everywhere pause for a moment of silence.

 

[Shamoan]

an off campus stadium makes that job highly undesirable for many which ties in to fan support.

 

[was21]

Fuente will probably be contacted

 

[was21]

yep. Apparently a necktie party overnight

 

[patdog]

Fuente would be an idiot to take the Miami job. He will have his pick of better offers.

 

[00Dawg]

They offered him the job twice and he turned them down. The "thinks he invented football" comment followed.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

It would be very Miami-ish if they hired Kiffin. Cristobal is going to get a gig somewhere too.

 

[dawgstudent]

The video of Sumlin walking drunk - has their been pretty good confirmation that is Sumlin

 

[Miss.Stake]

Mullen said they needed to build an on-campus stadium. They said they couldn't do that and that was the end of talks basically.
