Can you explain the Dan Mullen pick for me?  He just signed a contract extension in February and is making top 15 money.  His buyout is probably over $10 million.  How much do you think Tennessee would be willing to pay him on top of the $14+ million they have to buy out their current coaches at?  Top 5 money?

His agent is trying to push him to TN.

His agent also represents the coach of TN, that seems odd...

There are a lot of agents that specialize in college football and NFL coaches.  Not any different than representing numerous athletes.  It's actually very helpful for coaches finding jobs.  For example, if I call an agent asking about Coach A, that agent may say "Coach A isn't really interested, but I represent Coach B and Coach C, what do you think about those guys."

When he does take the job, and I think he will, I wonder how long this board will remain patient.  This has to be the longest thread in this board's history.  Any discussion about Husker football is nearly entirely focused on the next coach and has been for almost the whole season.  The play on the field has just become an endless supply of bullets to justify the change.  I get it.  What I am now wondering is how long before the first anti-Frost post appears.  A casual bystander after reading this board would think he would get 5 years before being questioned.  I wonder.  This will not be a quick fix.

Coaching at TN is a whole lot better spot than Mississippi State... even if just to move to the SEC East and get away from playing Bama every year.

I understand that, but why wouldn't he just steer Mullen to Florida though?  There was already an article published about how Sexton negotiated the buyout for McElwain lower because he wanted to be on the good side of Florida for future negotiations.  I understand there is work being done behind the scenes, but why 'push out' a current client from a job when you also know you will have to negotiate a lower buyout for him so the school can afford to buyout Mullen's contract?  

And in that case, why would Mississippi State negotiate to lower their buyout at all for Mullen to leave to go to Tennessee?  They just extended him in February and are 7-2.  

It just doesn't add up.

 
I can't think Florida is going to heavily pursue Charlie Strong.  While I think he's a good coach, his time at Texas is going to keep major programs away from him for a while.

So, the sign you were looking for?

Exactly. A weekish earlier than I would have guessed. 

Bob Stoops we heard about already through Steve Spurrier's loud mouth. A bit surprised Chip Kelly is on the list, but if UCLA opens, I see him taking that job over Florida. Charlie? Yeesh, not the best coach around, but hard to beat his Florida connections.

The agent is working for the coach, so he's just trying to get his coach a new job or a pay raise at his current job.  Agents are going to talk to numerous schools, and they probably play them against each other.  It's all about negotiations.

So that could indicate Frost said no to UF and maybe negotiations with NU and Frost are going well. It does make me a little more hopeful that we won't screw this up.
