One thing i will unequivocally let you know is this staff does ZERO negative recruiting. I was at a practice before the bowl game and patke tried to tell amari gainer some **** about fspew & uga. Richt yanked him to the side mid sentence & got on him. He literally came back apologizing. Richt is ruthless & will get what he wants done. But he won't go about it the wrong way...Random thoughts, but I just put it together that Manny Diaz was Mullen's DC/LB coach twice at Miss State. I don't think about Miss State enough to have already made that connection.
(This random thread is brought to you as a result of me seeing that Geof Collins was working Miami's camp today, remembering he coached under Mullen at Miss State, & wondering if he had a connection to us through Manny. He did not, as Manny's 2 stints in Mississippi bookended Collins'.)
But anyway, I wonder what their dynamic is.
I wonder what kind of grasp he has on Mullen's offense from coaching against it in practice every day on two different occasions.
Lowkey, I also wonder what kinda dirt Manny has on Mullen from working with him.
I bet Manny knows a thing or two Mullen doesn't want getting out.
And I wonder if Manny can use his time with Mullen to negative recruit UF.
Maybe an "I was on Mullen's staff when he interviewed for the Miami job and got beat out by Richt. He wanted to be at Miami first and so should you." type deal.
