Title: Mullen out at Illinois state
Post by: talksalot on February 13, 2022, 06:27:05 PM
Illinois state has announced they will buy out the remaining two years on his contract.  He will coach the redbirds through arch madness.

500,000 per year on the buyout

Is Roger Powell now in play for this position? He would have to be among the top candidates to consider, especially since his dad played for Illinois State.

That is a bitter pill but bitter pills can also be essential medications.

"
QuoteGiven the contract requirement of 30-day notice, it was imperative to make a timely decision to begin the search process for a new coach. This will allow us to find the best candidate and provide them with the time necessary to recruit prior to the upcoming April signing period," Brennan said

If Mullins stepped down on his own, he would not get the last 2 years of his contract paid in-full, would he?   I am surprised he lasted this long.
