Mullen is a better coach than Butch but I think the end result would be the same. 5 years later and we'd be calling for his head. JMO. And in that time span Florida would probably move quickly and hire a stud that would kill us.

Okay cool. Do some digging for us! Lol.

Plenty of national writers and media members have stated he was very upset to not be considered for the Florida job and have said he talked to Georgia about their opening.

I can ask around. Like someone posted before - he can win 8 wins here and the MSU folks are happy. He's also about to watch his biggest competition for recruits, Ole Miss, wander back into the wilderness.

Meh we’ll see where he is 5 years from now. Part of why Vols fans were so desperate for him was the idea of him leading another P5 school to great success. If he’s still hanging around FCS schools 5 years from now, we’ll be able to look back and realize he just had enough connections to get nice little campaign going for the AD job and no more.

His sour tweets after the fact were a bad look IMO and a bit of a late red flag.

He definitely hurt himself. May be difficult to recover.

His tweets in general were embarrassing and a horrible, horrible look for a potential AD of a major SEC school. He tweets like a 14-year-old girl. I was pushing for him hard but seeing that made me seriously question his judgment and intelligence.

He has a relationship with Chris Petersen. I was told that that would be his first call. They'd spoke previously about working together.

lol if they’d talked about working together, it was probably Peterson trying to get Blackburn out to the west coast, not the other way around.


Peterson wants no part of living/coaching in the southeast.

Nah Mullen would’ve had a QB ready and beaten UF. He might lose a bad one here and there, but if he were in Butch’s position with this team this year he’d have us playing well enough that nothing more than a loud minority would be calling for him to be fired and his job security would be undoubted.

The best coaching job in college football that no one talked about much in 2014? Look at what Troy Calhoun did.

The 48-year-old Air Force coach led the Falcons to a 10-3 record that included wins over Boise State (which won 12 games last year) and Colorado State (which won 10), as well as Navy and Army to win the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy. Plus, Air Force defeated a Western Michigan squad that came into the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl 8-4. The 10 wins were the Falcons’ most in 16 seasons, and it marked the seventh time in Calhoun’s eight years as the team’s head coach where AFA has made a bowl game.

That’s even more impressive when you consider that Air Force is allowed only 15 hours a week to work on football (only 75 percent of the time other college football programs are mandated), and since they have guys in Kuwait, Germany, Florida and all over the country, they aren’t able to do all of the "voluntary mandatory" stuff in June and July, so there’s no continuity to carry things over from spring football. Oh, and they can’t redshirt players.

"They’re actually a multiple-formation, multiple-concept offense," said New Mexico head coach Bob Davie, a long-time college defensive coordinator. "They’re not Navy or Georgia Tech, where they’re in double-slot (formation) a majority of the time. The thing that they do great is that it’s too elementary to say they’re just a triple option team. You have to spend a majority of your week preparing for triple option and they may not run any triple option against you. They’ll be in the I-(formation). They’ll run spread, no-huddle, up-tempo. They have a bank of offenses. In some ways it reminds me of Nebraska when Tom Osborne was winning all those championships. It’s depending on the quarterback and their personnel, and they can get in and out of so many different things.

Tennessee’s first question to any coach should be,

“OK Mr. _____, how many 10+ win seasons have you had as a head coach at the collegiate level?”

If the answer is not a number above 0, the interview can conclude.

Bobby Petrino would say 4

Troy Calhoun would be an excellent coach for UT. Not a big splash, but a very solid coach

Agreed. I really hope he is considered when this coaching search gets serious.

Should of been hired instead of Dooley.

He turned us down if I remember correctly. It was too late in the process and Hammy couldn't get it done.

He's been fantastic in Colorado Springs. Could be ready for a move to the big time.
