The Fight For Dan Mullen Begins

[@PatBrooks-u6w]

Being a BS TV analyst is a more secure and less stressful job than being an actual coach (if you're good enough as BSing). Similar to all the ex-politicians who step down to be know-it-alls for the cable news channels.

[@pdexBigTeacher]

As a Michigan alum I want an OC who wants to be an OC at Michigan. I want a coaching staff that's like Georgia's or Alabama under Saban: stable, maintaining a culture. Harbaugh had a stable staff for these past 3 years, which blew up when he left.

[@crett5819]

I would not say it blew up. Harbaugh but took them when he left. It is blown up but mainly because of inexperienced OC, O line, and terrible QB play.

[@BrianJohnsonArmwrestling]

It blew up because they got caught cheating an now they can't. There has NEVER been a college coach win a national title then leave for the NFL and take his staff with him. That's sketchy ass shit. There will forever be an asterisk next to that championship

[@Deez30224]

@@BrianJohnsonArmwrestlingStalions was there in 18’, 19’ & 20’ and they weren’t winning…then Michigan won the National Championship by 21 points and covered the spread against FIVE top 20 teams in its final six games, all after Stalions resigned…but yeah I’m sure the guy who can’t even coach a HS team was the reason for their success and not the multiple NFL draft picks and NFL coaches 🥴. Harbaugh left because he wanted to win a Super Bowl and he accomplished what he wanted to at Michigan and that was to win a Natty. Now he’s doing good in the NFL and currently has the best defense in the league (let me guess that’s also Stailions fault) lmao. And title doesn’t have an asterisk just because a bunch of fans of loser teams want it to have one lmao. It’s doesn’t work that way.

@@BrianJohnsonArmwrestling Hasn't Harbaugh tried to get NFL jobs for a few years? It seems like he won a ship and wants to try to win a ring in the NFL too. Now he's making 20 milly in Cali while turning that franchise around.

[@StripedSooner]

Mullen opposite venables would be a good match for multiple reasons. He’d have full control of the offense. It’s certainly an interesting option that has gained momentum seemingly.

[@CertifiedClapaholic]

Nobody cares. If Michigan wants him, he'll be in Ann Arbor before Oklahoma can ask "Why?" Oklahoma can't compete with Michigan when it comes to money.

[@seanakima50515e]

If im Oklahoma, i make this offer Cut the 275mil facilities upgrade its completley unnecessary right now. Put 230Mil towards NIL and give Dan Mullen 45 Mil to come be your OC/Assistant Head Coach for 4 years with the possibility of becoming the HC if it doesn't work out for BV

[@therealad4342]

If in Dan I’m not taking any head coaching job unless it’s p4. He has been good at all his stops and should’ve never been fired from Florida IMO.

[@shawnmack11]

Go gators, imagine what Mullen would do with Lagway…

[@therealad4342]

@ not a gator but I grew up with Dan as my guy at MSU! Florida definitely set themselves back when they let him go, Dan would’ve killed it with DJ

[@shawnmack11]

@@therealad4342 he just couldn’t beat Alabama for either of us. Think he’ll go down as the second best State coach in my lifetime because of him being unable to beat the big boy.

[@shawnmack11]

I was born in ‘01, so I think yall get a flash season sometime where that coach will beat the big boy yk? That guy might not be as good a coach as Mullen, but winning the big game matters

[@gatordave551]

Mullen never wanted to recruit. He probably would not have even had a chance at getting Lagway.

[@fast-one3871]

Barry Switzer knows Mullin and he said OU is too screwed up for Mullen to take the OU OC position. OU has a disorganized program by hiring a career assistant with no head coaching experience, gave him a raise after nearly losing 5 of his last 7 in 2023. Makes no sense.

[@Quawnn]

lol switzer never said that, stop lying

[@fast-one3871]

@@Quawnn The OU Dean Blevins is the source on the OK Sports Blitz . You calling Dean Blevins a liar smart guy? Be careful calling people liars.

[@Quawnn]

@@fast-one3871 I am calling YOU a liar, you added a bunch of stuff that dean never said or even implied. Dean did say switzer said that mullen wouldnt take the job because of where the program is at rn, Im also calling BS on switzer saying that about mullen taking the job. Switzer isnt dumb, even his old ass knows that the state of the offense at this time is EXACTLY why mullen would take the job. Its the fastest way back into a top P4 HC job.

[@RhinoAg]

Dan Mullen can be a great head coach.

[@vaughnwesterby5162]

Why did Michigan hire a head coach with no head coaching experience? Why didn’t they learn from their mistake hiring a basketball coach with no head coaching experience (Juwan Howard)! The program is too big of a job to take without experience, baffling!

[@CertifiedClapaholic]

It's premature to blame this all on Moore. Moore's supporting cast has been abysmal. Give Sherrone some time to address the staff (either work with them in the offseason, or replace them) and THEN we can make those judgements.

[@vaughnwesterby5162]

@ I’m not making judgements, I’m just stating facts! 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@grh7399]

Very good point, I agree with you 100%.

[@Rodarr2]

That is the Michigan way! Most of there coaches did not have head coach experience until after Lloyd Carr.

[@Quawnn]

@@vaughnwesterby5162 You are literally making judgement by questioning the Moore hire (without any real merit behind it at that)

[@TMan-uw5rb]

He's one of if not the best play caller in the sport. His interpersonal skills are just some of the worst in existence. He somehow angers everyone around him at every place he's ever been. He has unbreakable loyalty to the few coaches that can stand him. These coaches tend to be so low-quality that after Mullen got fired, they couldn't land a college coaching gig. His offensive line coach had to get a job at Lowes to pay the bills because no one wanted him. Also, I think he's too proud to take OC jobs, but we'll see.

[@Iwollf74]

U don't know the behind the scenes bad culture he had at Florida. It's not that he didn't recuit well. Hie recruits did develop. He had a top 9 class, but only 2 or 3 developed. His assts always overruled him, had someone on his staff talk bad about the players that transferred, and had a bad relationship with UAA and Boosters. He tore down relationships with high school football coaches and was very disorganized. His only positive was he could make a good offense plan.

[@pedrofame2573]

Arkansas is doing ok with Sam but with Mullen would improve to annually 8-4 maybe 9-3 on a good year and if there ok with that kind of record every year then by all means take a swing and see what you can get out of Mullen.

[@larrymansfield9393]

I think Pittman would be welcomed back to UGA with open arms all things considered.

[@zophix-5741]

I think there is a dark horse here you’re not thinking about for Dan..Kentucky I think stoops is out this year. Fans want him gone. He would get a crack at Florida every year.

@ yeah but I don’t think he makes the same mistake twice he was lazy with recruiting at Florida not that he couldn’t recruit you think about a successful blue blood program it’s not hard to recruit but if you’re lazy with it yeah it’ll be a shit show. I think he would elevate Kentucky. Especially offensively

[@lrvracer3515]

All of this Dan Mullen talk is getting completely stupid. Nobody wants that guy - he was just okay at Miss State and got fired at Florida. Plus, he’s a second rate studio analyst. Sheesh - he must have a PR firm pushing his name or something.

[@christianfelan8732]

Have you watched UM this year? It's painful. I can't think of one positive "big" decision Coach Moore has made all year! Coordinators, personnel, clock management, heck, even his recruiting is questionable!

[@camrencross645]

Not sure I'd say he was just OK at MS. State.....anyone that can take THAT school to number one in the country it better than OK. But yes...not a great job at FL. That job has become cursed though it feels since Meyer left.

[@jpb588]

Go back to Florida please

[@thingsarequestionable]

Screw Dan Mullen. Get Dion Sanders or Brian Kelly for Michigan. I would say Urban Meyer but he'll never coach Michigan.

[@lawrencefranck9417]

You can have Brian Kelly he’s an average coach

All three sentences you said are irrational. Literally. And the last sentence is incorrect.

Unless you have strong ties to Oklahoma, I’m not sure who the hell would want to be the one to pull this out of the black hole the offense has found themselves in.
