Interesting thought, but with the NCAA violations, couldn't he be fired for cause? Methinks so.

I just dont see how this UAA would fire Dan for cause over the recruiting violations. What coach would want to work here if the UAA did that? The optics are horrible. While we all have serious issues with the way the program is going, the outside perspective is that Dan came in and fixed a broken program. He is the winningist 3 year head coach of Florida of all time (I think, read that in one of the articles but didnt verify it). Again, I know we have opinions about the failures he is making but the outside perspective is very high on the job Mullen has done. I seriously think the UAA values that perspective.

Another one of these silly "optics" posts. FIRE HIS ASS FOR CAUSE. We'll be able to replace him with a quality coach, I assure you.

Dorky Dan taking repeated vacations during recruiting season then getting fired for sending texts (leaving evidence via texts, really?) and meeting with a recruit, a west coast recruit we had no chance to land, during a no-contact period is hilarious.

you got to wonder why he didn't just do his job instead of waiting till midnight and trying to cram.

I'm also struck by the little league nature of it. if you're going to cheat at least be good at it.

I find his pressers and behavior getting weirder by the week.

It is not a silly optic post. Im not arguing to keep Mullen. Im pointing out that the one of the biggest thinks Stricks and Fuchs do is based on optics. Do you not think they look at how they make a public case to fire a guy that is the winningest coach at this point in a program?

Personally, Im at the okay if we do okay if we dont point. And if Grantham is staying Im a rather we do guy.

Its a really weird situation and there is a whole lot of coloring in between the lines going on in which the colors are being guessed. A lot of speculation built on speculation.

As to your comment about getting a replacement with a quality coach...whatevers. So far we are 0-3 since we had a quality coach and we were 0-1 before him. So thats 1 out of 5. The only thing you can base your 'I assure you' on based on those facts is its because the odds are in our favor since we are due.

The problem with Mullinz wanting the nfl is he is down the list from other college coaches. Matt Campbell, Pat Fitzgerald, and Urban Liar are at the top of the list. There are a number of nfl coordinators I'd take over Mullinz as well.

Pressure to produce championships is too much for Dan. He’s realized he doesn’t have what it takes to win titles here and he desperately wants out before this upcoming season which will likely be a disaster.
