He got fired, he won at Mississippi State which is kind of like a G5, I hear he has visited Texas and also that he may have heard of Wren Baker. We should go get him before everyone else, 4 game win streak and SL buyout money be damned.

I think he would be good. That said, often when coaches get fired at that level, I think they should take a year to recharge the batteries.The recruiting game the way it now works necessitates constant full on effort by the HC, that is not only true at P5 level, it is also true at G5, and it seems Mullens batteries had gotten a bit low.

Jason Garrett?

Dan Mullen was the coach at Miss State when Dak played.

 

If we hired Jason Garrett, I would have to start rooting for the school “LSU” I am getting my masters from.

Although he is an Oc, qb coach he has never sniffed Texas. Hire somebody that has some local ties would be a plus. We now have 3 top tier college jobs opened USC, Florida and LSU. There will be a big time ripple effect of available coaches, if we are hiring.

I'm down for Dan mullen. I thought he was an idiot for leaving miss St, and he would thrive in Denton

He got fired for being a real ass hole.

No he got fired because he wasn't winning. There are plenty of ass hole coaches that keep their jobs as long as they win

You said “I coached Dak Prescott” in your post that I was quoting.

He won east division of SEC last year, but after a good start in 2021 where they barely lost to Bama things went south. His record did not warrant termination before the end of the season, in my opinion.

With that being said, maybe they should rehire Steve Spurrier.

Being an a-hole who wasn’t winning put Mullen in the position to be fired, but the fact that he was getting killed in recruiting made it a lot easier to do it now. I imagine the $12 M he’ll get paid not to coach might help cushion the blow a bit.

Would you please inform the University of Florida that I would gladly not coach their football team for only $11 M.

Last 4 years they had 2 recruiting classes top 10 and 2 in the top 15. He wasn’t getting killed recruiting. Admin and alumni think they should be Bama. We can see how well it has worked for Texas with football idiots making the decision. He shouldn’t of been fired.

A top15 recruiting class in the nation for an SEC school means there are 6-8 in-conference competitors recruiting better than you. At UF, that can't happen. It's harder to fathom when Kirby at uga is a cruitin' machine and that didn't help Mullens case. He also sabotaged the QB position out of loyalty this year and the record passing QB that Florida had last year, he wouldn't have had unless Felipe Frank's didn't break his leg. His eye for talent within the depths of his own roster was not present at UF. He let his DC stay when everyone wanted him gone. After bad losses in post game pressers he would ignorantly flaunt the "win" in yardage. His relationships with current players was shaky. He was not a recruiting closer like an SEC coach has to be. It was never Dan Mullens fault for anything. It was always some other variable causing the distrust, losses, general lack of success. There's more to it than UF thinking UF is something that they are not.

I am beginning to settle in on K C Keeler.  He's done it again; a FCS championship (WAC) and another trip to the championship playoffs which he won last year. In addition he could bring his Offensive Coordinator, Ryan Carty, with him.  He was FCS Offensive Coordinator of the Year this year.  He is also the quarterbacks coach.  Carty and Keeler are both graduates of the University of Delaware.  I would hope that some of the current staff would be retained, particularly the running backs coach, the offensive line coach (make Bloesch run coordinator) and the linebackers coach.  Bennett, of course, has another year on his contract and I would hope that would be honored.

Looking forward to see the record of your next hire. Top 10 recruiting and not firing the DC and bitching proves my point. Texas syndrome!

      UAB (12/31/24)

      I'll be there. How is everyone feeling as we enter conference play? Overall I'm feeling good. We are 2nd in NET in the conference. The two best publicly available models, KenPom and Bart Torvik, have us as the 2nd best team in conference and finishing that way. Our defense has been really good; it's actually better than last season. The biggest improvement is in the defensive rebounding. We are pulling down 74.8% of defensive boards compared to 68% last year. Of course the team isn't without concerns. Although we start the same lineup every game, we haven't found a consistent closing one. There isn't a 'go to' scorer. The shot creation and/or shooting has been lacking in long stretches. So far our adjusted offensive efficiency is the lowest it's been since the 2019 season, but I don't think (hope) it will necessarily stay that way. I'd be disappointed if we don't finish at least top 4 in conference. The conference, as others have noted in many threads, just isn't as good as last season. Last season there were 4 other teams in the top 100 of KenPom and 7 in the top 150. This season there are 2 other teams in the top 100 and 5 in the top 150. Last year in conference we played 3 Q1 games and 5 Q2 games; this year we're projected to play 1 Q1 game and 3 Q2 games. A top 4 finish in conference means that we would need to win 3 games in Ft. Worth to go to the big dance. That's always the dream. The NIT as the consolation prize wouldn't be bad either. Could we host a NIT game again? Last year Indiana St., Princeton, and Bradley hosted opening round games. That would be a fun atmosphere.

      You have to consider many of these are the only entertainment option in town. Fargo, ND vs Denton. The entire state of ND follows the Bison.

      Is it just me or is Eric Morris destined for great things?

      It's just you bro. Same reason why you supported McCarney's #Hit6 campaign. The bar is in Hell.
