<div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">I got a call today from a friend at the University of Miami. I asked if he had any intel on the coaching search, and joking asked when they expected to wrap it up. He didn't say, but did provide me with some info that has concerned me to some degree. I will not comment on this any further unless new info out of Coral Gables comes across my desk.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">
</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">The info: University of Miami athletic department officials are scheduled to travel to New York City on Tuesday. I couldn't get any info as to why, as my contact had knowledge of the trip itself. At first I didn't give it a second though. </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">

And I know who I'm talking to here, but it could be possible that they want to talk to UCONN's coach Randy Edsell. I only say that because I have seen him mentioned as a candidate.

Also, ESPN is headquartered in Bristol, so they could be going after Gruden again.

And yes, they certainly could be talking to Dan as well.

Look at the link at the top of the screen that says "I plan on being the coach here for a long time."

Awards Ceremonies and College Football Hall of Fame inductions. A large number of schools from around the country will have representatives there. I'm not saying that they want interview candidates while they are in town; however, they are not going solely to meet with Mullen.

not because of anything specific....it's because Jack has shown up and has doubts. Ughhh...

Hopefully Coach said "No, go away, I want to coach at Ms State for a long long time". So now Miami being desperate, will follow him up there and make a pathetic last chance try. </p>

If you have read a lot of the stories, this has been planned for some time.....I can't remember where I read it, but almost all Div I coaches and ADs will be in NY.....so Miami's AD was already gonna be there, so was Mullen.....

but it works out for UM that he can get some interviews done.....if Mullen was going to interview for the job, this is where it would happen, but he will be conducting many interviews here....


he's not going to UM to coach football. Period.

but according to the Miami folks (same person Jack At Shelter is referencing) they have a sit down scheduled with Mullen.
Here is to hoping that he is just giving them a courtesy visit to tell them no thanks.
