Lots of SU people now following Dan Mullen on social media…. I got a DM that Mullen is going to be the guy and if he is then I give JW a ton of credit. Mullen is about the best we could ask for and checks all the boxes. We likely are going to give him a 7 year contract for 35 million which is a big boy move. I would be patience with Mullen. He would gameplan and prepare the team and if he could just get decent talent we can win 7-8 games a year and that is good enough

Yeah I would shocked that we got Mullen and would tell him Mississippi State didn’t reach out to him. I am would be ecstatic if we hired him. He would be able to build a staff and understands the northeast. He isn’t a good recruiter which is why Florida fired him but he could recruit where we have been which is the 40’s and 50’s nationally but do what Marrone did and gameplan, scheme and develop our talent to be decent. The perception of the Syracuse football job is completely overblown we don’t think what Rhule said. All we want is what Wake or Northwestern do. Win 6-7 games a year and occasionally every 5 years be frisky for a couple of weeks nationally and end up 7-5 or 8-4. I don’t expect 9-10 win seasons at Syracuse we don’t recruit well enough for that but we can win 8 games with a soft nonconference and 4-4 in conference. Mullen would be an outstanding hire and if we pay him then it shows commitment.

I don’t believe him but just want some re-assurance

I don’t believe him but just want some re-assurance Dude is full of shit. We have the money for Mullen it’s can get him to commit to us. We paid Dino 4 million per year. That is a solid number and is a commitment. Syracuse has the $$$. The question is do we want to be competitive and spend or just continue cashing checks. Whomever we hire is going to get a salary near Dino’s 4 million. If we expect Chesney to come here for 2.5 million we aren’t serious. The question is what is the pool for assistants and support staffs The HC is going to get a solid salary.

I’m 100 percent on the Mullen train, may have to donate a couple hundred/buy a season ticket in a bad spot just for money to support the program

Not sure the “recruiting” knock is even accurate. He had some top 20 classes at Miss State and top 10 classes at Florida.

With the locals, alums, networking they have in Florida HSFB. To be dominant like Georgia has been you need elite recruiting and that was the knock on Mullen. Kirby Smart was all-in in recruiting going crazy while Mullen wasn’t. That was his issue. If he recruited just slightly better than Dino with his other strengths it would be a win for Syracuse.

I think I could talk myself into anyone at this point, but Mullen would t be terrible

So yeah, I’m all in. Frankly, I assumed we’d have to land a P5 coordinator, or a head coach from a smaller school….and those could work if it’s the right guy. But Mullen is a guy who already climbed the ladder - hot OC at a power, got the mid level head coaching job and did well, and then moved up to the head coach at a powerhouse. I think it’s a great move, if we can get him.

Also, because I’m a Syracuse fan….i fully expect the rug to be pulled out from us, and he’ll take a job somewhere else at the last minute, and people will swear that he really was all set to come here but things changed.

I’m sure “7th option for HC” will be amazing
