Mullen to Memphis?
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
It’s probably harder to win at Memphis than UNLV. Might not be a great idea.
Maybe he is putting himself into position to take over the MSU job when it comes open next November.

Do mountain west champs have a decent shot at playoffs? Doesn't look like it this year. Maybe he's thinking AAC is better path for playoff chances?
Last three coaches at Memphis have come out with good jobs (VT, FSU, Ark). Don’t know current NIL relative to others in conference. UNLV financial situation may be a factor
AAC is better conference and FedEx will throw money at it.
Excellent! His drive to Starkville just got a lot shorter!
He can commute to Memphis from Starkville & be all set for next November
Supposedly Memphis has the largest or near it, nil in the G5.
can't wait to see him recruiting Mississippi ***

Fred threw in 20 million to Memphis's NIL by himself before he died. A lot of which hasn't been spent yet. Understand about $200 million of his estate will go to the U. of Memphis, some of which will find its way to the AD. Mullen might find a nice budget to buy some talent in the coming years.
I thought I had heard rumblings of Memphis being a power team on the up and coming. The money was starting to flow much more than the other teams in their conference.
Keep in mind, I don’t even know what conference they are in but I did stay in a holiday inn over Thanksgiving.

Financial problems?

People balking at 40 dollar watered down drinks is where it started
Commuting is one option (didn't Sirmon commute from Tuscaloosa, or some other far-flung place ?). We can see if Mullen buys a $10M house in Memphis. If he doesn't, he's headed back to Starkville. **
I think Memphis would be a fine stepping stone, but it's unnecessary unless UNLV is telling him they aren't going to be able to pay him.
He can get a better job next year, where if he goes to Memphis after one year and then tries to leave Memphis after one year, surely a lot of the schools that would otherwise be interested (i.e., mid or low tier P4 schools) will be worried about dealing with the will he stay or will he go distraction every year.
The American is a coach factory. The coaches of the top four teams in the conference found Power 4 jobs this year.
Actually, he's playing Boise State tonight. Boise is a a bit far from New Orleans.
Mullen definitely been job shopping this week. Down 21-0
Ahhhhh, that takes me back
