Syracuse football: seems like the candidate list is narrowing down

The rumor mill for who will be the next head coach for the Syracuse Orange football team continues to be scorching hot less than a week after former coach Dino Babers was fired.

Dan Mullen, the former coach for the Florida Gators and Mississippi State Bulldogs, appears to be the unofficial odds-on favorite amid the laundry list of coaching candidates out there It is being reported that Mullen visited Syracuse University’s campus on Thursday for a practice, and that met with Athletic Director John Wildhack on Wednesday. Keep in mind that Mullen was formerly a graduate assistant for the program in 1998.
