Starting to like the idea

[cwbytruckers]

Honest question guys. If he was at UT. Would it make a difference with talent. We get much better players overall. But would his system be more successful here or Not? He can definitely coach a good game.

His offense cruises to 2 nattys at Florida. If he gets the right QB, WGWTFA

Mullen is used to 8 wins as a successful season! We already have that and don’t want more of mediocre 8-9 win seasons. no no and no please!

I think he will be able to recruit better players to Tennessee than he can at State. This should translate to more wins.

 

[Other_Guy]

Yea, lets hire the guy that got spanked on the recruiting trail by the guy we are firing and lost to south alabama last year. :loco:

LOL at this guy for comparing recruiting at Miss St to UT.

 

[TeddyYeti]

No!

 

[Blackburn]

Boo👎

Yeah, no need to bring a proven, winning coach in the SEC to Knoxville. We should probably roll the dice on an unproven coordinator.

Proven mediocrity. Gruden or bust, buddy.

 

[ftsandersvol]

A good QB, like Prescott and Dobbs, can make any coach look better than he actually is. No thanks on Mullen.

Whew! Had to fix my spelling before the Grammar Nazis got me.

If Donkey gets fired - Mullen goes back to UF

 

[508mikey]

Use the same gif in your Gruden thread -- he is not coming to UT

 

[billwilson]

Mullen had MSU ranked number 1 in the country at one point and that is not easy to do at MSU.

How long did that Nr 1 ranking last? Retread!!

Actually, Mullen will pick us or Florida. Whoever offers first. His calculus for staying at MSU this long was to see if he could land the UGA job as it’s his dream job. Now that Kirby has it locked down, he will come back to East with us or Florida based on who offers first.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Fuente is good to go at Vag Tech.

Mullen might be an interesting hire.

 

[Cartervol]

Keep Shoop and bring Mullen in to develop a qb and run something that resembles a offense and i wouldn't be upset about it.

of Dan Mullen in Knoxville.

* HC of an SEC school, "gets it".
* Has had above average success there.

Thoughts?

I'd take him

Would be a great hire

 

[illinoisvolfan1]

I could go with him.

What about Mark Dantonio??

 

[TJ1985]

So.... Let me apply the thinking of many of you anti-Mullen people.

James Franklin is at best a 9 win coach. PSU is elite and deserves better. Let's pass.

The fact that Mullen has had MSU in the conversation while the west was at its best tells me he could be really goods here. UT is on another level than MSU and would give Mullen a higher ceiling, same as PSU did for Franklin.

 

[Volitourt]

Dino - young - relates - overachieves - wants to take the TN corvette - maybe Buick at this point - and turn corners like a ferrari - the new fun and gun - Art Briles without the baggage

Lets put it this way.... imagine Mullen is interested in UT job over Miss State in 2008.

Everyone would be going crazy to hire guy then. He has done nothing but positive things since becoming head coach after leaving Florida with 2 natty’s.

Agreed. I think Mullen may be the safest and most realistic hire and is in my top 4 behind Gruden, Kelly, and Gary Patterson.

The only reason Mullen leaves Miss ST is to get away from playing Bama every year. Well that blows him out of the mix.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Yeah I think Mullen is the man for the job.

Thoughts?

In 8 full seasons in Starkville, he's had a five win, a six win, 2 seven win, and one 8 win season. how will it go over at Tennessee to have five out of eight seasons at eight wins or less?

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

If Mullen can win and go to 7 straight bowls while being in the SEC West with 3* recruits because nobody wants to go to Starkville, he could dominate in the SEC East.

I'm also big on Fuente, Wilcox and Chryst. Plus up and comers Norvill, Campbell and Brohm.

Frost is heading to Lincoln...Book it!
