Jeff Eisenberg---Muller Football Play

[Baltimore Bird]

There is a great article that popped up today on my Yahoo Sports log by Jeff Eisenberg.
It discusses how Dan Muller invented the football play that is now being used regularly.
I am sure someone can find it and post it online. That is probably the last time we beat UNI.

Most interesting part of the article for me.

Muller said he is done with basketball coaching for good and is instead pouring his energy into building his new executive coaching and leadership development practice. He describes the football inbounds play as his “one claim to fame.”

He’s gonna hire really athletic people and train them to be executive coaches, right?

A couple things from the article that stood out to me.

1. Muller "resigned" in February.
2. The play was to get the ball in the hand of the best FT shooter. The lesser two FT shooters run go routes and the others cut back...that would indicate that play was drawn up for Matt Hein. He wanted Hein (50%) at the line for the game instead of Copeland (84%) or Evans (76%). Hell, Hein could've been the inbounder because even Chastain shot 70%. It worked out, but that is fascinating.

There was also a similar article in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal that also credited Dan with creating the play.

He started company upon moving back to Nashville area.

Don’t blame hime for never wanting to coach again. It’s become more like teaching preschool than coaching these days.

I thought he was still in Normal as of this past summer. Had to stay because of his wife's job at SF. Pantagraph said he was remodeling a home. Anyway, does anyone know the name of his business? Maybe it was in that article? I scrolled fast.

Someone posted the link. He splits time between Nashville and BloNo.

 

[Hamdonger]

No they're in Nashville area. BloNo is done. He and his family haven't lived here for a while.

Think they have a rental, because his wife has to physically be at Corporate one week per month.

 

[Hamdonger]

Primary residence is not in IL.

 

[cubird]

Agree

That would be the best idea. Get out of paying taxes in Illinois by having primary residence in TN, but not living in a hotel while your here. If it were me, I'd do the same. But unlike her, I'd probably live on campus and party Monday - Thursday, then return to my boring parental/work life for 3 weeks to rest up, to do it again.

Illinois would make her prorate her taxes if she works 30 days or more in Illinois. We are going through that with several remote workers. The states are getting more aggressive and creative to make sure they piece of the tax pie.

Do we really care about Dan’s primary residence? Glad he’s at peace and doing something. Good for him.

I care even less about pro-rating taxes. If you can afford two homes in two different states, prolly can afford to pay the taxes.

This all day. He made off like a bandit in failing the last few years. Good for him and his family.

When Muller's FB play happened, I distinctly remember watching NKU copy his play a couple days later. I believe the coach said he got it from watching an ISU game.

I do recall him saying on that radio show right after he got fired that he was done coaching because the sport is no longer the same as when he played and started coaching.

I would love to see Muller get involved in MVC broadcasting in some capacity. He is a Redbird legend.
