Mullen’s in a pinch or he wouldn’t be begging the NFL for a look. The show cause makes him damaged goods inasmuch as any school looking at him would have to consider the possibility of being penalized merely for hiring him.

Stricklin is in fact playing his cards smart here. His head coach has zero leverage unless the NFL comes calling and the likelihood of that happening after the controversy-marred 8-4 season Mullen just finished isn’t terribly high.

Stated a slightly different way, you could say that Mullen is essentially entering a contract year.

Bama is hiring and/or attempting to hire ex NFL Head Coaches to be coordinators and/or position coaches in college. Cousin Eddie has his interns scouting local Pop Warner games to get potential asst. coaching prospects. Yeah, we are going places.

First and 10: The truth hurts, but here it is. Tennessee, you will never be elite again

I’m too lazy at this point to look to see if this was posted in another thread, but is relevant to this discussion...and also rides UT.

After all the UT take down, Matt Hayes (who is definitely someone who can get insider info) addresses the Mullen situation. The paragraph is worth reading, but the TLDR is NFL doesn’t want Mullen, his record is keeping him on for now, but Mullen is on thin ice with embarrassing post games and NCAA infractions.

You got to think that a likely scenario is also that Mullen leaves in a year once the show cause is up. He seems like that type of guy. Pretty sure his feelings are hurt and sure did seem like he said 'F it' after the loss to Bama and packed it in. Positive side is he will probably coach is butt off this year to get some momentum for another job.

Will it matter with Grantham?

Just thought I would check into the thread regarding those flaming, sizzling hot rumors of Cousin Eddie in tremendous demand to be an NFL HC. Saw that it is going on a week since anything new was put here, so I guess that raging fire :lmao2::lmao2::lmao2::lmao2::lmao2::lmao2: has smoldered out to a pile of cool ashes!

WHERE THE FUCHS is he going?

No one wanted him the last 12 years either. Nothing has changed.

He probably will coach his butt off, but he lost to much offensive talent this year for it to matter.

247 boards are saying he was on vacation on NSD. They are going crazy over there.

Didn't think it was possible someone could be a worse recruiter than Butters. I was wrong.
