A high-level trustee fully aware of how the search was done said, ``We were not going to get a star, and it wasn't a money thing. Why would [marquee coaches] leave any of their great programs'' to take another college job? ``Florida didn't get one either. We hired the best person that wasn't in the top 20.''

The trustee said UM inquired about Stanford's Jim Harbaugh, who wasn't interested, and said Jon Gruden never seemed serious about taking the job. Chris Peterson gave UM no indication he wanted to leave Boise State. UM thought Nebraska's Bo Pelini had some interest, but he changed his mind. And UM was turned off by Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen's big ego, with one trustee saying he acts like he invented the game.

I'm telling you also, a good amount of UF players did not like playing for Mullen


I know a few players who played under him at UF and they despised the guy

Apparently, Dan invented Florida's offense. Look what it's done since he left. Maybe the Miami guy that spelled Petersen's name incorrectly once again, was mistaken.

Al Golden is still a great pick I think for all the schools out there looking for coaches this year. I thought for sure he'd end up at Penn State after JoePa.

The article is revealing about just how crappy a job the "U" is. They should have never fired Randy Shannon. I would hire him back and plead temporary insanity.
