That would put him tied for 3rd highest paid coach in the country with Harbaugh, behind only Saban and Dabo.

Sheesh that's a lot of cheese.

I like Mullen more than most of my fellow VOLS otb, but if we are truly offering top 3 coaching money, I really would like to broaden our search a little bit more.

$7M per year would be at least a $2M raise for 99% of coaches in the country.

Only Petersen is worth $7 Million, Mullen is $5.5-6 at best

For that kind of money you guys should offer that to chipper he would be all yours.

FLORIDA nor UCLA will pay him that kind of a salary

To pull a sitting and successful p5 coach you're more than likely going to have to overpay.

What makes you think Peterson would leave Washington?

Isn't he a West coast guy?

So is Gruden officially out of the running? Has all that died down? Was actually hoping to see it happen

Yup.


But he makes barely 4m/year, less than Lyle. If we are offering money that would nearly be double his salary to Dan Mullen, we better have gotten a hard no from Petersen first.

Lol who the frick knows. You've got some boosters telling people it's 100% done, others saying it's the most outlandish rumor in Tennessee football history.

Grumors are fun to think about and troll the board with but I am not holding my breath

Arghhh definitely overpaying by a mil. Means Currie isnt able to sell UT better.

I would want to see the buyout, and other things first. I want to see some success clauses etc. Like 7 mil better be the max out with #1 recruiting class, SEC Champion, undefeated season, National Champion, etc all in one season.

Currie better not get UT f'd over by sexton.

Yep. $5.5-6M plus some inventive bonuses should be all it takes to get him.

If ATM misses on Jimbo and really wants Mullen, they might offer more.

Can't stand the bullshite of the Pac 12 and lack of support from the UW administration, fan support is terrible, and hates that almost nobody gets to see Washington play, putting them at a monumental disadvantage for playoff consideration and recruiting. Also is grossly underpaid.


He's making a cunt hair more than Lyle was, and $4 Million in Seattle is like $12 Million in Knoxville.

Currently on an 11 game losing streak to Alabama. Hires coach with 0-9 record versus Alabama for $7 million a year.
