October 8th, 2014 at 4:01 PM ^
Are there people interested interested in other coaches around here? News to me.
October 8th, 2014 at 4:14 PM ^
6-0!
October 8th, 2014 at 4:16 PM ^
Because they are hoping for a Harbaugh or Les Miles.

My intention was to give a heads up to whoever wanted to hear how he presented himself to a national audience. If we had all heard Hoke interact with the media during "The Process," there may have been some grassroots effort to avoid his hire. There was no Michigan content in Mullen's interview.
I would have expressed myself more clearly if the post wasn't time sensitive and I hadn't been watching for the vehicle in front of me to begin moving through the school carpool lane.
Posting a brief message before the interview seemed to hold more value than posting to inform people that they had just missed the interview.

What's his B.M.I?
October 8th, 2014 at 4:34 PM ^
I'm more interested in his 40, shuttle time and vertical.

It is funny how 11-12 months can change a life. Hoke was sitting pretty after 5-6 games last year - some ugly wins vs UConn and Akron but train didnt fall apart until PSU MSU. Meanwhile Dan Mullen was in year 5 of his rebuild and thru 10 games was 4-6.
Fast forward 11 months and hilarity ensues.
October 8th, 2014 at 4:45 PM ^
Funny how that works. I think the Mullen for next M coach trian should slow down a bit.
October 8th, 2014 at 4:52 PM ^
They were 5-0, yes, but with squeakers against Akron and Toledo, there was legit cause for concern.

Did they ask him about being the coach at Michigan?
October 8th, 2014 at 4:57 PM ^
But he did take credit for nearly losing the LSU game by pulling his starters too early.
October 8th, 2014 at 5:07 PM ^
At least he learned, I don't think he pulled his starters at all against A&M. And to be fair to Mullen, it took a tragically bad snap over the QBs head to turn the LSU game into a scare.
October 8th, 2014 at 5:34 PM ^
I think he is Florida bound though.
October 8th, 2014 at 4:58 PM ^
I guess that's technically a sentence . . .

My mother died yesterday. Or maybe today, I don't know.

One more because The Fall is my favorite: "Today we are always as ready to judge as we are to fornicate."

Not to pat myself on the back (who am I kidding, this is totally to pat myself on the back), but I was the one who started a thread four years ago called "Hire Dan Mullen," and was dismissed by many.
I think I feel a tear forming as I think about Denard and Devin working under Dan Mullen the past four years...

I think that Devin would really be able to thrive in a mullens offense if he put on about 20 pounds. He is a little light in the pants and if he didnt put on some weight and keep his speed and agility he would be able to get things going because he would take a beating in that offense and if he didnt put on the weight he would definitly miss some games due to a few injuries.

I think he was a reasonably popular name around here for the last coaching search, particularly after he pantsed us in the bowl game. But we all knew we weren't going to take another spread coach because of worst-fanbase-ever. God, imagine if we had hired Gus Malzahn, who is looking like the runaway best coach in the country right now.
October 9th, 2014 at 8:53 AM ^
he took a team that was 0-8 in conference and got them to the national championship game in his first year does not mean he is the best coach in the country. Wait, maybe it does.
