@ltraz - I’ve been of the opinion that the Oklahoma move to the SEC makes Lincoln Riley in play for reasons similar to the Mike Gundy comparisons. Meaning, OU may become Auburn at best in the SEC with a worse recruiting platform when Texas and aTm are also in the SEC.
If he absolutely craves being in the best situation to get to playoffs,doesn’t he see Florida giving him the better shot. You always have interesting perspectives on these coaches, so do you think if we went Jimbo level pay, take LR from 4th highest paid to the top around $11 million/year that we could have a shot?
My inclination is you inquire there first, and as secretively as possible before making a move on Mullen. He is one of the few without Sexton as his agent. LR’s is Bob Lamont, so a call doesn’t automatically tip off Mullen’s agent - Sexton.
