Mullen won't be going to Syracuse

[Mojave Gator]

Dan Mullen met with the AD at Syracuse, then said no. He probably figured out that there wasn't enough talent there for him to win for a couple of years without recruiting.

Shame, too. He would have been within driving distance when the Jets and Giants jobs come open.

I am sure his agent has told the folks at Michigan he is available if Harbaugh goes to the NFL.

Rookie move bro. He's had his people leak to the media that he is willing to listen WHEN (not if) they want to talk to him. A source with inside information who goes by the name of Stan Cullen has reported that Dan Mullen is willing to get back into being a head coach at a major university or the NFL. He is currently working as a space astronaut cowboy surgeon but is reachable on his Cell.

Along the lines of leaked information - the AD at Syracuse said that he never talked to Mullen, nor was Mullen ever a candidate for the job (which was incidentally just filled by someone not named Dan Mullen). I have to wonder if this is more fabrication put out by Mullen to give the impression of interest in his services when in fact there isn't any.

Did anyone else catch the line below from that first article?

“After his stint in Gainesville, Mullen became a head coach of the Mississippi State Bulldogs where he saw incredible success with the help of QB Dak Prescott. He spent nine years with the Bulldogs before jetting to another SEC team, the Florida Gators, in a lateral move to become their head coach.”

A “lateral move?” Really?

Heck I never got that far, I couldn't get past "head coach of the Mississippi State Bulldogs where he saw incredible success"

That article must have been ghost written by his wife in between kissing the players at Lake Oconee as they get off the bus. The only person that has ever used lateral move in reference to those 2 jobs is one Dan Mullen. Incredible success by being #2 in the country reminds me of when they basically threw a delusional victory parade in Athens prior to the 2008 season because the Stafford/Moreno Bulldogs were #1 in the country pre-season. It used to be so fun to mock shit like that.
