5. Dan Mullen - TV Analyst/Former Head Coach
Dan Mullen is the current stalking horse in coaching searches. His name will always come up, but it’s unclear if he wants to take another head coaching position. Unless things align perfectly, he could stay in his cushy television analyst job and continue to enjoy his time with his family. Mullen has never loved grinding as a recruiter. However, if he is well-supported by boosters at North Carolina, he might not need to hit the trail as hard as he previously had to at Mississippi State or Florida. Mullen has produced good offenses and succeeded in Florida, although not quite to their standards. North Carolina should, at least, gauge his interest and see if he’s ready to jump back in.
