The Mike Riley era is probably coming to a close.

"Interim A.D. Dave Rimington mentioned to friends that his time in North Stadium is down to a few days."

Danny White

It's down to two...Long from Arkansas and Mullens from Oregon. 

Sounding like Mullens is the lead candidate.

Danny White

I like that guy haha, met him and Tom Landry at a friggin Las Vegas Stars game many years ago and still have his autograph. 

 

[The Duke]

Mullens from Oregon makes some sense.

Knows Scott Frost, but also knows Dana Altman, just in case basketball struggles this year.

Pipe dreaming here, but he could bring two native Nebraskans home.

 

[Apathy]

Anyone but Arkansas and Ole Miss AD's

Well this Danny White is the AD at UCF and from what I've heard now Nebraska.

How well did Mullens and Scott get along?  If they do get him, then we'd be pretty sure we could get Scott if that is the route we go.

HAHAHA yeah, definitely not the same Danny White.  He knows Gill as well being that previous AD at Buffalo.

 

[Decked]

Heard from a very very well connected guy that the UCF AD is N. This upcoming week.
