Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLV

[volfanCLT]

His name comes up every coaching search. To this point, he’s just used those for a raise.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Florida if they miss on Kelly and Frost, which is looking likely.

I saw something saying Kelly and UF had a tentative agreement.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

it's insane. It's not a tough concept to grasp

smh..

 

[RiseToTheTop]

rutledge out here reporting like Mullen isnt speaking to anyone like he didnt interview at Miami and Oregon in the last 2 yrs.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Throwing “Brohm contact” in their makes me think smoke screen. I’ve been off the Gruden train all week but I find it hard to believe Brohm is still in consideration after the season they have had.

Same with Durkin. Or most of the board to be honest.

Question:

I remember back in 2012 the fanbase rallied around Butch because UT pushed the narrative that Butch was the only one willing to take the job considering the work that would have to be put in to get the train back on the tracks.

Does the next coach get the same benefit? If it's Mullen or Campbell or Schiano, I think we can all agree Tennessee got down its hot board. That means we were turned down by the big names once again.

With an out if he chooses UCLA so that agreement isn’t worth a velvet painting of a whale and a dolphin gettin it on.

Yes but nobody knows. Ucla thinks they have him locked up too. The longer this goes on the worse for Florida. If he hasn't signed by Tuesday at UF he's not going there

 

[scvolfan7]

this....but this is also why ppl hate our fan base, make fun of us and why coaches arent sure about coming here. theyre ridiculous.

Yep we still act like this is the 90s. This is a proud program and we are capable of greatness but it’s going to take time to rebuild. We are like 12th in the sec in winning percentage the past ten years. Dan Mullen is a good coach and would consistently win games here. We should be really happy if we get him

 

[Glitch]

He's had multiple opportunities to leave lol. It's not like winning programs haven't been interested

Why does someone stay at a school like Miss State when a big time program comes calling? They enjoy the bar being set low. Well the bar isn't set low at UT. We expect results.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

We aren’t getting Patterson. We missed the boat on that. He will finish his career at TCU. I can’t see Petersen coming here. Mullen will be fine here. He lost his QB tonight and top of losing his top 2 or 3 receivers before this game. Y’all need to chill and stop being so reactionary

You chill and get off your high horse. You don't know what the heck you're taking about as far as my feelings about Mehllan goes. It has nothing to do with this game.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Then I'm not the loser.

We're Tennessee fans. We're all kinda losers.

 

[MSCE09]

Don't we play State next year? That will be awkward.

 

[StoVol]

Mullen sucks ass

 

[RiseToTheTop]

the ol fake an injury ploy

 

[Jimmy Football]

Ricky Bobby? That you?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

We’ll be a lock for a bowl game each year. So we’ll have that at least. But we’ll never beat Alabama or win the SEC. 10-2 ceiling.

Never...he ain't got it in him.

Some don't follow the money. Why didn't Snyder leave Ksu, Or why hasn't Venables became a HC. Not because others weren't after them.

Not to mention his Wife has a lot of say. She didn't like being in Gainesville because she was hounded anytime Mullens offense didn't score 30+

So what? Campbell would be a better hire than Gruden for sure and I prefer Mullen over gruden personally.

Gruden was never going to come here. He has talked about how he doesn’t want to coach college football on a couple different occasions.

...with all due respect, and I mean ALL due respect.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

True, though people have said he prefers Nike to Under Armor, but I think that would be a strange reason to take one job over another. I also think UCLA would be less of a fishbowl than UF, which has a reputation for chewing up and spitting out coaches. But the Gators have money.

Then he ain't coming to Knoxville, and I am ok with that.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

miss state down 10 late in the 4th

ESPN: lets do the next 15 minutes straight on Dan Mullen

 

[volatil]

“The second best coach in the SEC”


And discuss
