It sure looked like Texas A&M athletics had zeroed in on an excellent candidate to be their next director, but maybe he was never truly considering the job. Or, his current university is planning to pony up the dough to keep one of the most successful athletic directors in the country. Either way he will no longer be available for the Aggies to pursue as Oregon’s Rob Mullens officially withdrew his name from consideration to replace Scott Woodward.
Other than presiding over maybe the most successful athletic period in school history, Mullens doesn’t have any prior connections to Oregon.
