Interview is posted online. Key word was "right now". blah.

 

[Columbus Dawg]

and he just said that he and his wife are 100% committed to winning SEC championships and a national championship at MSU. He said he and his wife are very happy at Miss. State.

I just feel this is a foregone conclusion. We aren't in a bowl game so Mullen can hit the ground running with recruits. He obviously knows Foley and UF well. The systems won't change. He already knows most of the players. It will still be a team effort with Mullen and Meyer. If Meyer were leaving UF completely, I wouldn't be as worried. But as it stands, I think Mullen is gone.

 

[TX Mud Dawg]

even though he said he was committed to MSU? Youre crazy man!

 

[Columbus Dawg]

He had no choice but to say exactly what he said.

what in the hell do you expect him to say?

 

[Gene Swindoll]

it just makes sense....and why wouldnt they?...this is what sucks about being a state fan......this is also why i think everyone who wanted or wants stans gone is totally stupid and doesnt have a clue.

 

[BeerandWings01]

Utah has already had their bowl game as well, and Wittington(sp?) was Meyer's right hand man before Mullen, so I am hoping that Foley taps back into Utah to get his new coach.

"I will be the coach at MSU next season" but he didnt

He knows how damaging being noncommittal is to recruiting, which means he really wants the job.

 

[The Byrne Center]

I have to agree with you. If they want him, they have him.

on ESPN Sportscenter Sunday. Maybe he will say it again.

 

[dawgstudent]

is the recruitment of Newton and that can be fixed once Florida has a direction they are going.

See ya Dan...

 

[saltybulldog]

Why else do the interview. The question is, did ESPN call him or did his agent call ESPN?

 

[TX Mud Dawg]

im sure that he called mullen up.

 

[ckDOG]

No better way to do that than to ask the folks closest to him. I think that was objective #1 for the call. It was only natural to ask Mullen about his interest in the job after getting the Meyer stuff out of the way.

if that was objective #1 why not call a more current memeber of the staff...like that charlie strong fellow...i'm not buying....if they offer mullen he's gone

 

[ckDOG]

Maybe they are trying anyone with known connections? I doubt the Florida coaches are commenting on the situation at the moment. It might have been the next best thing on the fly???

Work with me here, I'm trying to talk some sanity into myself.

 

[Stormrider81]

Why wouldn't they offer him? Hmm, perhaps they can do better. Perhaps, just perhaps, they can get a head coach with more than one year under his belt and one that has actually taken his team to a bowl game. Foley remember well his mistake in hiring Zook. The next time he got it right getting a guy who had been very successful as a head coach. I just can't see him going after Mullen right now. It just doesn't make sense to me.

No question he really wants that job. But there is also no question he knows he isn't going to get it. Furthermore, there is no question that if he keeps playing the coy card, he knows there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

 

[jfs131]

That takes a deeper thought process than to just come out and say "I am staying at MSU." "100% Committed" means that's the best and most convincing statement he could come up with to say he's staying.

Chill out poeple.
