Feeling a little better about the Miami situation today.

From Marcello's blog:


Here’s <font color="#2277dd">more</font> from the Miami Herald:</p><div><div>

If Gruden does not take the job, UM is expected to ask for permission to speak with Mullen, a former Florida Gators offensive coordinator, plus several others. Mullen, 38, took over a Mississippi State team that went 4-8 in 2008. He went 5-7 in his first season but is 8-4 this season.</p>

Although Hocutt has interest in Mullen, one UM official said, “We would have to scrutinize that one. Is two years [of head coaching experience] enough? There’s a difference of opinion on that.”</p>

Sounds like Mullen might not be their 2nd choice after all.</div></div>

and keeps his name out there as a hot candidate. His quick response to get his *** to an interview lets other programs know he's willing to talk. Next year, he goes from 1b to 1a.

Next year ... damn, I'm going to miss him.

That's something that I think alot of people are overlooking. His experience as a head coach is limited to just two years and thats not much of a sample size there. I think it would be a big gamble for them to take Mullen honestly.

They just fired a coach who I think had less time as a head coach before taking the job. They might not want to take that chance again. Also it's my understanding that the past decade has been hard on the schools pocket book and may not have the deep pockets for a new coach that they use to. For what ever reason. I might have heard incorrectly.

What interview?
