They’ve had more major suspensions this year than they’ve really ever had. Plus it sounds like he made up the death threat stuff. Don’t know if any of that gives the University to fire him with cause though
Both that and Sumlin’s note seemed a little iffy. Seems hard to prove that it was a lie, but I can see them wanting him gone for performance and using that reasoning to reduce buyout

Somebody fill me in on this death threat stuff. First I’m hearing about it.
Coach Mac said in a press conference this week that he’s been receiving death threats to him and his family. School released a statement saying that they offered to help coach investigate these them and he could offer zero details or evidence of the threats and also wouldn’t call the police. Hence, he made it all up

Wow. That’s impossibly stupid.
 
Damn guys. Espn ticker is now talking about him being gone by tomorrow/Monday. It was just talking about how Randy Shannon would take over for the remainder of the year. Jesus. They must fuggin hate him

Kinda dirty by UF admin IMO, but I guess it’s a “wolf” move so I’m jealous anyway
I mean, Mac comes across as some aww shucks nice guy, but he’s had a qb kicked off the team for steroids and had 7-8 kids suspended/kicked off the team this year for felony credit card theft or something. There is something up with him and these death threat lies just add to the rest of it. Oh, and he sucks.

Oh I’m not saying he didn’t need to be fired. Just their way of working around the buyout seems sketch
 
I voted Sumlin in this thread. Crazy that the season isn't over and it's announced he will be fired and I was still way off.

So Butch, Mac, Sumlin, and most likely Bert all getting canned this year. And if Mullen leaves for UT, that’ll add even more shakeup to the conference.

If UF gets chip and Tennessee gets Mullen, then the East will most definitely take over the West in just a few years.

I could see Chip getting in play at TAMU. I get the sense UF is gonna botch it with Chip. Crazy coaching carousel this year.
 
If i were a coach like Chip and had an option of UCLA or any school in SEC, i would take UCLA. Just seems like you would have a lot less hassle with the admin and with insane boosters.

not to mention the ability to recruit nationally

I don't think Mullen would do well at UTe. He has a worse record in SEC play than Butch, and UTe doesn't quite recruit itself anymore. I think he might would do better than Butch has, but I don't think he gets them back to competing for championships. You are going to need talent to beat UGA and UF and that is his weakest point.

You'd need to make more

I agree, great coach but needs to be at a school with a built in recruiting advantage.

But would you? I mean he's got all that NFL money and if he has a good agent he's gonna get paid well...bet Gus would take less to not have to deal with all the shit he does on the Plains
 
Mullen has no reason to go to Tennessee. This is all a power-play. If UCLA or UF comes calling he's gone but he's not going to a program that is at best equal with where MSU is right now.
I fully expect to see him on the Gators’ sideline next fall. He’d be hell down there with a staff loaded with top notch cruiters...

I do too. I think the Chip Kelly thing might be Stricklin throwing some misdirection around. Mullen makes much more sense when given UF recruiting territory and a much larger budget for assistants and bagmen. He gives a shit about defense and knows the SEC landscape. Heckuva lot cheaper than Kelly will be as well.

I think Chip ends up at UCLA.

I'd be very surprised if Mullen went to UF. When Striklin left, they were not on good terms and Foley hates Mullen.
 
I think there's a way higher chance that Mullen is in knoxville next year than him being in Gainsville. He's been trying to get out of Starkville every year and he'd take the UT job in a heartbeat.
