Dan Mullen

[rockyvols]

Yeah, he sure is knocking down some great competition over there. I had this argument last weekend, and I am more than willing to do it again. What is the best win on Mullen's resume?

Michigan. His one an only i believe.

A weak Florida and Michigan back in 2010 is just about it. The guy is completely unproven and beats chumps like Troy every year and gets stomped by LSU, Bama, Auburn, Arkansas on normal years.

Derek Dooley team: Couldn't play competitively against good teams.

Dan Mullen team: Can't play competitively against good teams, but managed to beat a Florida team that went 8-5.

I don't understand why, when you look at the facts, suddenly the equation becomes

Tennessee - Derek Dooley + coaching search = Dan Mullen

Michigan. His one an only i believe.

Florida (8-5) was the same year, and they were better than Michigan (7-6), but not by much.

 

[AndyMizunogolfer]

I didn't realize those were the only two choices.

Sorry out of the names we have heard. I would put Mullen and Strong ahead of most of the others. I am just throwing out there that hes pretty decent. Miss ST is an even worse area to recruit than UT.

Strong is at or near the top for me. Just because a guy beat some bad teams while coaching at a ****hole doesn't make him a good coach. It isn't like Mississippi St. has never had good teams before.

Oh ok didnt know he beat uf. They did blow michigan out. Think was gator bowl

Is Dan Mullen just out of the question now? Seems he has done a incredible job at Miss state. Was on the radar early, but are the NCAA investigations holding back any considerations?

No. Next.

 

[Jax_Vol]

I think Mullin is in the top-3 at this point. I would be ok with him.

 

[estes]

Yeah realistically Gruden would be the dream hire but for the money UT would have to spend to get him, I think hiring a proven college guy like a Mullen would be better for UT in the long run.

Who's he beat????UT, Allbarn, and lose big to Ole Miss

 

[volfrk86]

How many wins against ranked teams does Dan Mullen have?

 

[laroc99a]

Siap why have I not heard more about Mullen he's done a great job at msu and they have reached about as high as there going to get they just arnt going to compete for the west like Tennessee could for the east

 

[tim]

Violations.

 

[laroc99a]

Okay thank you

 

[big_orange_nation]

Maybe I missed something but did Tennessee even consider Dan Mullen?? His body of work speaks for itself. He has taken a dead doormat (miss st.) And turned them into a pretty good football team.

 

[GLDunlap]

Your right his body of work speaks for itself. NO!!

 

[govols120]

This. Name one good win he has.

 

[big_orange_nation]

He's won SEC games as a head coach which is more than can be said Charlie strong

 

[big_orange_nation]

Tennessee... Lol

 

[Vol Main]

This. Name one good win he has.

Florida, coached by Urban Meyer before he went butt-up on the floor in the middle of the night.

Yeah! Florida! Which Tennessee hasn't beat in how many years now?

 

[GFieldVolFan]

I would be ok with Mullen. I would want him over Strong because of his SEC head coaching experience. He is winning games at Mississippi State. That is no easy feat as they have been the Vanderbilt of the SEC West for years. He has had them in the top 25, and he is playing competitively agaist Alabama and LSU. If he can get Mississippi State to that level, imagine what he could possibly do with Tennessee.

 

[Baller Vol]

Why is he not being mentioned at all? He was one of my favorites all along.

:salute:

 

[AustinTXVol]

Might be a stretch for him to come, given that he's still in progress turning MS around. But I think he's a good guy, and I'd love to have him here.
