He’s not a home run hire but he’s pretty damn close. Look at his resume, record and the bowls he’s gone to and won. Dan has won a lot at 2 programs in the SEC, neat uga, won the sec East, had MSU #1 for a few weeks. Mullen coaches winning football programs.
i’m just a little hesitant cause a lot of the complaints at the end of his time in florida were pretty similar to what we were seeing with collins. questionable discipline, playing some of the wrong guys. i also think he’s a name that won’t excite the fanbase enough.
Accomplishments at that level mean next to nothing, he is a glorified highschool coach, winning on talent that his celebrity name brings in. Beating the crap out of other HBC schools by outtalenting them is not a model that can be reproduced at GT vs. our ACC and SEC rivals.
You have to wonder why he’s still sitting at home?
He's won at a high level at Miss. St. at a place where it's difficult to recruit.
the “celebrity hire” talk would hold merit if it lined up AT ALL with what he is actually doing at jackson state. i think if that was what he was after there would be significantly easier and less time consuming ways to grow as a celebrity than coaching a completely unknown football program for less than he could be making on tv as an analyst.
saying next to nothing is just disrespectful and obtuse for no reason. again, just say you think there are better candidates if you don’t want him.
It’s pretty normal for guys to take a year off. Take a year off, spend time with your kids, do some TV appearances and jump back in. Basically a vacation.
I truly don’t have anything against Deion or what he‘s done there, I just don’t want him as our coach. 2 years of accomplishments in a tiny league with superior athletes to your competition’s is not moving the needle for me, i’m sorry. I do think there are better, and safer candidates absolutely. We can stop arguing now.
It hasn't even been a year since he was fired. He's mentioned that he would like to coach again and UF is a different animal than Miss. St or GT for that matter.
god forbid someone does their job and recruits well enough to gain that advantage. would be a shame if a coach was doing his job so well that it became easy
Stop itgod forbid someone does their job and recruits well enough to gain that advantage. would be a shame if a coach was doing his job so well that it became easy
And that's fair to see it that way. I just think he does better at places with lower expectations than UF. (Miss. St & Utah)
Any chance we can Hire mike leach??
