Need to see your source for this or this is nothing more than a rumor which are not real popular on Tidefans.
Is Mullen going to join our staff?

And how bad would it burn the jorts nation when Bama won another NC with Mullen as OC?
about as bad as fifteenessee fans getting beat by Alabama again and seeing Butch Jones smoking a victory cigar and remembering that they were still having to pay him for it.And how bad would it burn the jorts nation when Bama won another NC with Mullen as OC?
While I think Mullen would be an excellent analyst or OC from a schematic / Xs and Os perspective, I’m not at all sure he can fit into a team he doesn’t lead.
The man honestly believes he is the smartest guy in the room, and it doesn’t matter if he’s sitting next to Nick Saban or Albert Einstein. To the core of his being, he truly believes he knows better.
Clearly, he isn’t always the smartest guy, and he doesn’t always know better. But facts don’t enter into the thought processes of an ego of that size.
Can he swallow the ego, and accept a role on a team bigger than himself? I don’t know. But having dealt with massive egos in arenas totally unrelated to football, I question it.

Sometimes getting fired humbles a person
He was just fired from Florida. I think his ego has shrunk a bit. Plus Saban has beaten him multiple times including years when the national media was talking about his team having a shot of beating Bama (like the year MSU was ranked number 1.) If he still thinks he is the smartest man in the room then he is not very smart.
Well, you’re kind of making my point. The guy didn’t distance himself from media yammering on about #1 MSU being able to beat Bama. Ends up getting beaten convincingly.
But that inconvenient fact doesn’t change his fundamental outlook.
Acknowledging that I don’t know what goes on between Mullen’s ears, I think he prepared for us for the entire two weeks ahead of last year’s SECCG. As a result, he lost to an overmatched LSU team, then gave us the best game of the year. Only problem was that an all-time dominant Alabama offense had something to say about the outcome.
I also have no doubt that he did the same thing in the weeks leading up to this year’s game in Gainesville. Before us, Florida played Florida Atlantic and South Florida.
No question in my mind, he prepared for us, beginning the day after the bowl game at the end of the 2020 season, and ending about 5 seconds before kickoff — very roughly 9 months. He believed his intellect would bail him out of not dedicating the grind to LSU, FIU, or USF.
IF (two huge letters), he ends up on our staff in whatever capacity, we’ll find out if losing a job to an 8-figure goodbye kiss humbles Dan Mullen. He may be licking wounds, but I’m not at all sure he’s fundamentally changed.

Heavy and almost certain speculation coming from the Boston market that McDaniels is gone after this year. Belichick wants o brien back
So there’s a rumor that there might be a staff vacancy in the NFL, and a 2nd degree derivative rumor around who the NFL HC wants to fill said rumored vacancy….followed by a 3rd degree leap of faith as to who would fill the vacancy left by the filling of the first rumored vacancy….assuming of course that the NFL job comes open, the rumor is correct, and the HC gets his first choice…assuming that that is in fact his first choice.
Got it.

I went crosseyed reading that.
No, we just don't typically deal in rumors here and that's all you've got.
Why? New England is having a lot of success with a rookie QB that many say is a game manager instead of a game changer. Belichick should be astounded.
Well, that's OK. I sure would hate to see the Pats/Mac lose McDaniels...
Is this a trade? Bill for McDaniels? I'll take that deal.
Unless mullen just wants a year off as a HC he won't be on our staff. But if he does I could see him as an analyst or oc candidate should BoB go elsewhere (which i don't see happening honestly......play. offense wasn't so bad when the oline gave Bryce time to throw, something to think about there.

Years ago when I first became a young Detective we used to play a game with suspects of ... 'If This, then This'. Speculation...
It was like someone starting a sensible rumor just to see where it went and how fast.
This may well apply to a possible future vacancy on the Patriots staff.
As of right now, there are no known vacancies on the Patriots staff, or on the Alabama staff.
We are going to miss Metchie a lot more than people realize.A lot more.For several reasons,but none moreso,than the fact that 96 and close to 1200 yards is a boatload of production.IF we can get a combo of 6-8 catches and 75-100 yards in each the next 2 games from THolden,JoJo,JBrooks?...Possibly even a pinch of Leary,Baker,and even Agiye? And get the ball in Trey's hands from Bryce in the pass game just a little more? We will be good.But we have to equal or better the production because they will cup and bracket Jamo every play.Although it may not matter!!!!...lol
