Dan Mullen

[New Pal Boiler]

Anyone have thoughts on Dan Mullen?

Pros:
Has won at an “underdog” school in the SEC
Still only 52 years old
Florida has gotten worse since firing him
Currently working in TV so can start immediately (can you be here Monday morning?)

Cons:
Got fired from last job
Good but not a great recruiter (but will that matter as much moving forward?)
Won’t have a staff to bring with him since he’s working in TV, will have to assemble one

But has experience and connections to assemble a staff, that is unless it's late in December and he is stuck with leftovers

For all we know he can be putting together a staff right now to come here… At least we can hope.

6-10 wins pretty much every year at Mississippi State. Sign me up now.

Would he come to Purdue? He has some Midwestern ties (stops at ND and Bowling Green from '99-'02), but he's been an SEC guy since 2008.

he's from Western Pa. and they know football, we would have a physical D w/ some LB's for a change

He may just be looking to chill for a while longer. He still has 3 years left getting a million per from his Florida contract. I'd probably just keep my cush TV gig and collect my last 3 million free dollars from UF.

Yes hire him, if he can win at Mississippi State he can win here. Also Brown is made for his offensive

similar reason why I like Dickert as an option, if you can win at Wazzou you can win here
