Dan Mullen

[Flipdaddy]

Does anybody know why he wasn’t a candidate for the Tennessee job?

 

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

Anybody else really upset we didn’t hire Mullen when we had the chance.

 

[UTK]

LMFAO

 

[UTK]

Does anybody know why he wasn’t a candidate for the Tennessee job?

He was. Took too long to offer him.

 

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

We could’ve had him we stalled out looking at other coaches then the Florida job opened and he took it. He would’ve took the Tenn job from all accounts

He was a candidate and word is the offer was on the table but he slow played it waiting on the Florida call.

Basically, we got turned down. Think about all the idiots that didn’t want him.

He didn't slow play it. We slow played it. Cause Currie wanted Schiano lol

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

He was. Said no.

 

[Roustabout]

This show it ****ing matters who your head coach is. It was amazing what he accomplished at MSU.
We hired Beldar the Bammer.

 

[UTK]

He was. Said no.

But woulda said yes if we asked him before it was obvious UF was going to.

 

[Rocky Top Raby]

Remember, we held onto Butch for weeks even though we knew he was done.

who knows. Doesnt matter now

 

[XknoxvolsX]

Regardless who we hired, it was going to be a rough few years!

 

[Grudenator]

Pruitt beat Auburn

I think we can all agree he made the right decision.

I have noticed that most people that call others idiots fit right in there.

Mullen reminds me of cousin Eddie

 

[Gatornator]

Best praise should go to DC Todd Grantham. He killed it tonight. Despite the many turnovers at no point did I feel we are not going to get the ball right back. If it wasn't for the offense turning it over in our field it could have been close to a shutout.

 

[Orangeslice13]

I’ve been very critical of Mullen for his history of losing games he shouldn’t. I’ve said it will prevent him from winning championships at Florida. I’ve said repeatedly he could be at Tennessee for a long time but not at Florida as they have a higher standard. I still believe it’s a real possibility.
So far he’s managed to win these sloppy games.
He has another opportunity to prove me wrong this coming week.

The real takeaway is we suck at hiring coaches and that’s not likely to change

 

[ETV]

He was. Took too long to offer him.

I heard the administration needed more time for a low ball offer.

Mullen reminds me of cousin Eddie

I have thought that too!

He was the #1 candidate. Chose UF over UT.
Difference in the game was the mistakes made by Aub freshman QB. It wasn’t great coaching by either team
