USC job opened late compared to others, Kiffin was like the 5th or 6th choice after top targets said no.
Right now we are at the first stage of the job opening up late compared to others in the market.
This may explain why LSU is cozying up to Mark Stoops lately.
And in all the backwash, someone is going to snatch up Dan Mullen. Maybe not a heavyweight, but a Kentucky or Va Tech.
Jaws...you were a real Mullen fan and made a good case for the guy. Any insight into why his team would just quit on him? I am not reveling in UFs misfortune (at the moment) but am truly curious. I thought the goy would be there for a long time,
It’s more about what he has earned. It’s also about what we stand to lose. This program desperately needs stability
One of the most stunning and unexpected things I’ve seen, and I expect more explanations will leak out at some point, but from what I’ve heard so far, his relationship with Grantham and Hevesy became really toxic and that spilled over to dysfunction within the team. And his relationship with AD Stricklin went bad too, mostly over Mullen not really wanting to hear from the AD about things like recruiting and coaching staff changes.
But I generally agree, he’s a helluva good coach and still has some good tread on his tires. He’ll get another shot somewhere.
Heupel has a buyout. Heupel and IU left on bad terms. White was Heupels AD at his previous job. We have a staff comprised of quite a few assistants from Heupels tenure at UCF. It’s not even close.
